can't think of an example off the top of my head - but I'm sure I've heard it on TV a lot.

Mulboyne wrote:If people don't say haafu that much - and I can't recall hearing it recently - I wonder whether there's another term used or whether people just talk around it by mentioning someone has a foreign parent.
Yokohammer wrote:Apparently some "haafu" kids are offended by the term, feeling that it makes them sound like only half a person. One guy I know always insisted (only half jokingly <- see what I did there? ) that the term should be changed to "daburu" (double), because they have the benefit of two cultures instead of just one.
Mulboyne wrote:I've heard that before but "double" isn't sufficiently accepted to be a term which could be used and understood on TV.
Yokohammer wrote:No, there's no chance it'll become accepted. It's just an interesting perspective on how people use and respond to labels.

GomiGirl wrote:(BTW I only just recently figured out that a saying I use all the time can be misunderstood - my father used to say "I call a spade a spade" and I just picked it up assuming it was a gardening tool rather than a racial slur... around my peer group it was always mangled to be "I call a spade a shovel". Anyhoo, I was looking in a dictionary recently - surprise surprise - and learned that a "spade" can be actually a racial slur. I was mortified to know that I have perhaps - unwittingly - offended dozens of people over the years. So, if I have ever offended you, I am sorry.. )

A shovel to me is broad and better suited for moving looser materials but spades tend to be sharp for use as a digging/turf-cutting tool.
