Today's word of the day is chinaman.
Landslide Kerry - The mystifying appeal of the Massachusetts senator: "At that Friday event in Manchester, Sen. Fritz Hollings, D-S.C., introduced Kerry with a long, rambling speech that included the word 'Chinaman.' As Hollings was explaining that '50 percent of the furniture in this country comes from China,' a shockingly loud pop crackled through the speakers and startled most people in the room. 'Some Chinaman got mad at that,' Hollings said to laughter. (Later, when more noises popped through the speakers, Kerry politically corrected the joke to, 'This Chinese guy is still around.')"

Steve Kerr's Chinaman Flap:"TNT NBA analyst Steve Kerr recently landed in PC police detention for calling Yao Ming a “7-6 Chinaman.” Kerr said he had no idea that term was offensive, wondering why it was any different from calling someone a Dutchman, Frenchman, Irishman, or Englishman."
