I Just Coined a Term for the * Crime Family - Waspia

[Sporadicus]

I did a Google search, and it doesn't appear to have been used anywhere before (except as a Finnish word meaning who-knows-what). Waspia seems appropriate...WASP/Mafia. It's time to stop mincing words concerning this crime family, which is just as brutal as any other ethnic crime organization. Even in those other crime groups, the 'godfathers' don't soil their hands.

Going back to grandpa Prescott, who helped finance Hitler's arms buildup prior to - and even during - WW II, the Waspia syndicate has amassed fortunes built upon the death and misery of innocents. The only difference between the Waspia and other ethnic crime organizations is that their capos have gained 'respectability,' even rising to the highest elected office in the land. Let's do everything in our power to strip away this veneer of respectability and show them up for the criminals they truly are.

1. Mike Malloy used that phrase A LOT...

He always referred to the Bush Family as the Bush Crime Family...

3. I'm Referring to the Term 'Waspia'

I've never heard it before, and Google doesn't show any reference to it - except as a Finnish word.

2. The term WASP isn't very flattering

especially to those of us who fit that category.

4. Sorry to Offend You

I suppose 'hillbilly' is the only appellation that's still acceptable to use for anyone of European descent.

5. Well, I'm not sure of that.

People tend to associate hillbilly with certain groups of Southerners. In fact, growing up in the Northeast and living in the South now, that people are the same in both places - the accents are just different.

I understand what you were trying to say, but I grew up with a lot of ethic prejudice in the Northeast. WASP wasn't a nice term.

7. But BushCo. are not nice people....

thus the suitability of the term,perhaps??? :shrug:

9. Persons of Italian Ancestry Don't Appreciate the Term 'Mafia'

used as a generic term for a crime syndicate, either.

12. Ah yes, of course....

Ethnic prejudice against WASPs is rampant in the Northeast US, right?

8. You fit in that category, yet it isn't flattering? Why?

:shrug: Help me out here. It's like someone calling me an African American because I am, but I get insulted by it. Makes me appear to be flaky. What's your reason?

[genxpundit]

11. It's was in the way it was used.

In the same way the word Jew can be used in different ways.

6. I like it!

10. Why not just call them criminal felons, then you won't insult

anyone except other criminal felons.
