China’s newest hot spot: The Obama Club
No, really. It is. And why, you may be wondering, name a Chicom night club after the leader of the free world? Silly people. He’s the owners’ hero, that’s why.

Wow, Jim, even in China, President Barak Obama is so honored!
Could you spell-out Chicom?? Is it a word or endearment? This way we can all appreciate how good the "right" is a name calling.
Be happy to! "ChiCom" is short for "Chinese Communist". Do you have a problem with that? The last time I looked, the Chinese were not complaining that they were being called communists.
They may not appreciate the nickname, it's name calling like the J.. for the Japanese, the W… for the Italians, the F…. for the French, the P…… for the Polish etc. But, even Jim Vicevich cannot get above that.
And I quote, from Urban Dictionary,
"Chicom originated out of the Vietnam War and was first used as slang for tiny burlap bags or packets which usually contained Chinese, NVA, or Vietcong made communist propaganda as well as intel, ammo, food, medical supplies, etc."
Slang is considered acceptable…creates more meaning and representation to a listener/reader or in conversation…For instance, if Jim says something about there being a new CHICOM night club named for Obama, I'm likely to perk up and listen! He doesn't have to tell me what country it's in, because it's implied thru the slang. The whole point of this post (& someone PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong) was to illustrate that a country (China) that is Communist as a matter of fact, seems to idolize our (supposedly) democracy-loving president Obama.
I actually would LOVE one of those ObaMao shirts…And I thought the BFD tee got me looks @ school? BWA HA!
Length here was unintended…just so sick of the "racism" word implied for Jim & listeners for every stupid little thing. Our language is eventually going to be, "Hey, kids, going down to the s-word for some d-word…what do you want to e-word for d-word tonight? I'll make anything you want!" Confusing, no?
You forgot "NORKS" for North Koreans, but that would be another "N word"! What to do?
I know what to do! We can have a lowercase "n" word and an uppercase "N" word! Problem solved! The politically "correct" may now proceed…..
Does my calling liberal-socialists "dumbasses" count? Can it be the new "D" word? 😉
And sammy22 was never heard from on this topic again. what a d-word…show some b-word bone and come back to comment that perhaps you overreacted and could have done some digging before commenting in such snarky way…
nah…that would be akin to admitting you were wrong or perhaps even off base in the "racism" assumption…can't have THAT.
