Throughout Melanesia, there are variants of pigeon English from the beche-de-mer days - Tok Pisin in Papua New Guinea, Torres Strait Creole in Northern Australia, Bichlamar in New Caledonia, etc - where picanninny (various spellings) is just the word for small child or infant. It's not racist. It apparently derives from the Portuguese "pequenino" meaning "small child" and applies to a child of any colour/race.
17: This has happened to me twice in the last 3 months. The slow dawning of that "oh shit" feeling when I realized what it means really sucked. 18: I'll never not think it's weird when a random man I don't know asks my name. My paranoid side instantly thinks he's an undercover cop and it's the first step in a Mr. Big op they're gonna try running on me. No thanks, I'm not looking for a new "friend." 20: I miss the days when we could all just laugh at funny stuff like this.
It's actually weird not to ask. I've talked to guys for years and didn't know their names. It's embarrassing when you see them and say "HI how you doin...?" Especially if he knows your name.
If you know each other's names it's a formal relationship, if not it's just another guy interested in the same stuff you are.. Women aren't capable of understanding that JD
#1 - The Enola Gay was piloted by Colonel Paul Tibbits, and named after his mother, Enola Gay Tibbits. There is a good movie, 'Above and Beyond' (1952), about the training and run-up to the actual mission. Eleanore Parker, as Tibbit's wife in the movie, is the personification of the '40s peaches and cream American war wife.
The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, along with the previous fire bombing of Japanese cities by General Curtis LeMay's 21st Bomber Command, along with Russia declaring war on Japan on August 8th, all contributed to the Emperor deciding to end the war against the wishes his military, who wanted a last-man defense .
That decision is estimated to have save up to one million American casualties, and an equal or greater number of Japanese military and civilian casualties.
And then there were all the POWs including civilians who were saved from execution by retreating sore losers. For some reason this comes to mind... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TxpPpI006BQ.

The song, "Picaninny Heaven", was from the 1933 movie "Hello Everybody!", sung by Kate Smith, no less.

DeleteWhen I was a kid all the women had pickanniny dolls to put pins and needles in. My mom still has one.
DeleteThat will be the next "racist" word thought up by the limp wrist "woke" turds.

I went 2 or 3 years in high school without knowing my best friends name. All was fine until a teacher put me on the spot and asked who he was.

One of my friend's dad was gearing up for the invasion of Japan. Friend figured he wouldn't have been born if it hadn't been for nukes.
