Post Pandemic Lockdown Scenarios

[Gearup]

Various items arrive on saucers to accompany coffee, possibly emulating the biscotti idea. Biscotti, unlike the little chocolate fish and other msc chocolate items, doesn't melt. Neither does the chocolate in a Jaffa, well not that we can see.

Yeah understood. I think my attempt at humour was a fail there pritch.

[FJRider]

Makes a change from it being motorcyclists.

We're still entitled ... try to keep up ...

[FJRider]

Imagine if an Aucklander got on the news all angry like & said, "it's those niggas coming down from northland causing all the problems"

At least at the moment ... they're not moaning about the traffic chaos and congestion ...

Can we have a lockdown for just Auckland after Covid 19 is done and dealt with ... ??? No more traffic issues.

Ok it might piss a few jaffa's off ... but in the interest of National amusement ... do we really care .. ??

[FJRider]

It's also a derogatory term, like nigga.

No ... it's a large oval orange thick-skinned sweet (previously made in Dunedin) ... "Rangitoto Yank" was derogatory ...

[FJRider]

Some of those described as Jaffas are a tad over sensitive. A couple from north of the Bombays were passing through Taranaki and stopped at Stratford for a flat white. When the coffee was served there was a jaffa on each saucer. They reportedly took this as a personal insult. It wasn't, it was just how that shop served coffee.

Similar in context to "Queen street farmers" ...

[pritch]

Yeah understood. I think my attempt at humour was a fail there pritch.

Nah. It was OK, but I also remembered the minor mess a melted chocolate fish made.

[FJRider]

Fair call....

Calling somebody an idiot is ok ... calling them a Jaffa is not .. ??

Racist comments are based on race creed or colour. I class the term Jaffa in the same class of "affection" as Dork ...

I class nigga is a term of endearment a bit like chum, like "wassup mah nigga"
I must start using it more based on your views. It's ok and long as I mean it affectionately.

Then there's the 'Queen Street hunters' who terrify vast tracts of the central North Island about this time every year.

Or Queen Street drivers who are in deep shit if the seal stops. They then seemingly make a beeline for the nearest ditch.

Funny thing though, last time I was in Queen Street my brother asked what country we were in? Looking at the people in the street would have only given misleading clues.

You'll be fine...

I've been called worse ...

But between you and your mates (I assume you still have some ) ... whatever term of "endearment" you choose to use is your business. And it's only between you and them.

However some PC hanger's on, associates or acquaintances ... might see it differently. I personally don't in that context. As I gather you don't.

Such as it should be in my opinion.

Part of my working life was in the northern isle ... working with an ex resident of the big city ... and he was constantly referred to ... and known as ... Jaffa.

although the motorway is running as it should-I experienced not problems
tge traffic has moved to the supermarkets, mostly packed car parks and long queues, so far I have only had to wait for 2 seconds to get in......

please send as many those chocolate Jaffas as you can spare, want to roll them down the cinema a less.


SB - a lot of people using that word up here in Akl, talking to people who they either think are beneath them or one of there minions. Quite popular ‘gangsta’ culture. Sometimes it’s used as a term for relatives, mainly younger 30s age group. Not used in original context.
if you think that’s bad, you should listen to some of the music they listen too.

just a fabulous fantastic aucklander -what’s wrong with that?

taking insult from a sweet on a coffee cup saucer, can’t be a south aucklander. We would ask why there was only 1 and if 2 marshmallows were forthcoming, do we get a free cup with every 5 cups can you stamp my loyalty card please.

I could be wrong but prior to this movie i never herd the term Jaffa being used i believe this is where te term first came from its just a simple recoining of this phrase.

By way of comparison ... it is a long held belief by many outside the Auckland boundaries ... that the building of the Sky tower was built for one reason only.


Ana that it was to prove ... to ALL in the city ... that civilization DID exist on the other side of the Bombay hills ....
