I couldn't get past the racist phrase in the 2nd paragraph. Can you spot it? pnwmom May 2017 #11

??? babylonsister May 2017 #16

Yes. Head full of wool between the ears. n/t Beartracks May 2017 #25

His mother was Scots. Over there, wooly-headed means having wool for brains. Bernardo de La Paz May 2017 #28

Racism has existed over there as long as it has over here. That term pnwmom May 2017 #30

There have for centuries been a lot more sheep in the British Isles than Africans. Expressions come Bernardo de La Paz May 2017 #31

Would you deliberately use a phrase that has been connected to racist slurs? pnwmom May 2017 #34

No. Now that I'm sensitized to the issue, I'm less likely to use the phrase. But it was not Bernardo de La Paz May 2017 #35

Right. That n word sounds too much like the other one, even though the derivations are different. pnwmom May 2017 #38

Julian Bond, you know who he is Bernardo de La Paz May 2017 #40

I'm sorry to have to disagree with you, pnwmom, but it's a very agricultural term... Hekate May 2017 #47

Good grief. Read your own definitions. BOTH of them. pnwmom May 2017 #29

I did, and I chose the one that applied. babylonsister May 2017 #45

They both apply. The slur arose from linking "wooly heads" or "wooly hair" with "stupidity." pnwmom May 2017 #57

Oh please. Words have definitions for babylonsister May 2017 #59

You are being quite selective in your outrage. Vinnie From Indy May 2017 #56
