Once again an example where two completely seemingly innocuous words, when put together to mean something straightforward gets misinterpreted in a completely over-the-top fashion, and, when a member of a certain demographic complains, the company in question (in this case Sainsbury’s) back down immediately no questions asked with their heads down low (and their knees to the floor?). The offending product is “Grey Reinforced Knee Grow Hem Woven Trousers, 2 pack for children of 7 years of age”. That is Knee as in a person’s knee, and grow as in the trousers will presumably grow/stretch with the child wearer. Neither a 7 year old kid or the average parent would see any specific double meaning in the title of that product. Unless your a cunt who actively looks for this shit just to complain about it of course.
Nominated by : Sir Motley Quim, OBE, CofE, MOD, VD.
You can bet it wasn’t a Robertson’s that complained.
Probably some socialist workers party loser bored during their day off from attending every protest going.
22
Not too sure about that Odin.
The name of the complainant is Esheru Kwaku and having looked him up on Google he is a four eyed níg nóg.
15
Well, that’ll teach me to read the nom title in full.
7
In my younger days I had an Uncle Tom. I’m done for if Starburst finds out.
4
Esheru Kwaku?? First laugh of the day, yes I am an ignorant cunt, I don’t give a fuck.
5
So this was a complaint from just one individual?
Since when has “knee grow” (or negro, as he has inferred) been an unacceptable word ?
What a weird fucker? WTF would he prefer?
How about nig – bow then?
3
Ho ho, “Robertson’s”!
Nice one, Odin…I’m nicking that for use in everyday conversation as no-one under the age of 45 would know what it means!
14
It’s a wonder that Maine Còòn cats haven’t been renamed yet. Dare say it’ll happen eventually though☹️

Cøøn hound’s days are probably numbered too.

They should have told the mad cunt to fuck off.
Good morning.
18
PS the Dark Key can find offence in an empty room.
They simply aren’t wired up right.
22
Their hair is.
5
They have now managed to find racism in milk, so why not.
3
Some people, my Mrs. for instance last week, are looking to be offended, and can find offence in anything. The real problem, I would suggest, is that there should be a comma between knee and grow but that’s modern education for you.
2
Negro – just testing to see if ISAC is up to speed.
11
Splendid – just as ignorant of what’s allowable and what’s not as me.
Better crawl back under my rock.
I wonder if Sam Beau would like to comment on this.
8
I wear racist trousers too.
But I don’t like them,
And sent them back where they came from.
22
It`s all about subtlety and steganography, Mr Twatt.
Look …
★ \(‾▿‾\) ᑎIGGᕮᖇ (/‾▿‾)/ ★
Although Odin`s usage of Robertson`s [above] is quite wonderful.
7
Steganography. A new word to me. Thanks Sam.
3
Or in this instance: steganignography.

Just been reading an article of this very subject. “The Mandela Effect”. At school ( in the 50/60s ) Pakiderm was spelled as posted. Nowadays it is Pachyderm and that it has always been so. The article is about the moves made in society of persons/people who feel so aggrieved and angered that they kick back.
I must write to Roald Dhals publishers.
9
It’s not just the name though, is it.
It turns out that all the kids who wore them started coming to school with knives or ended up laying around the playgrounds doing fuck all.
17
That was a belter Mis, or did you use braces instead.

2 South American footballers were separately fined over £100.000 and had match bans for using the word ‘negrito’ in congratulation online posts to colleagues.
One of the meanings of this word is ‘mate’ and that was the intended use.
But the FA in its ignorance decided that this commonly used Spanish word was a little bit too much like nígg3r.
Fuck knows what any of these FA cunts would do if they had to order or buy anything black in a Spanish speaking country.
15
I recall those footballers getting fined and thinking that it was ironic that an organisation which encourages diversity failed to realise that other cultures/languages have their own idioms.
16
Artful, quite right. I’m surprised that the FA haven’t demanded from the
The Royal Spanish Academy (Which regulates the Spanish language) that they change the word for black.
12
Cheating Man United cunt Evra had Suarez banned for eight games as he claimed he’d been called it, even though Suarez’s grandfather was black and despite nobody else hearing it, not even his team mates.
11
When teams play each other, their name is abbrrviated, i.e. France vs. England is FRA ENG at the top of your screens.
This trousers knee grow would lose his shit at Nigeria vs. Germany.
23
Sainsbury’s are incredibly woke.
The name kwaku is Ghanaian.
I know this because I used to know a kwaku.
He told me as a kid he stole a piece of fruit off a market stall.
Someone shouted “Thief!!”
He ran and other shoppers tried to grab and punch him.
He had to run to the only safe place…
Police office.
A crowd gathered outside baying for him to be handed over.
They take fruit theft seriously in Ghana.
They also have great funerals!
With coffins that resemble anything you want.

I see the appeal of my corpse sat upright in a spinning taxi.
Not sure why his missus Mama two shoes is dancing and swinging her handbag around?
But different strokes for different folks

I completely understand poor Esheru Kwaku’s feelings of racist victimisation and urge him to make a donation to the National Institute of Grievance Grabbing Everywhere Regardless of Seriousness.
Yes it is a bit of a mouthful isn’t it Esheru – tell you what, just put the initials on the cheque, that’ll do nicely sir.

I bought a lovely pair of tall leather boots, very comfortable and warm.
Unbeknown to me, they were racist ⚡⚡
Every time I wore them I couldn’t stop goose-stepping, the affliction spread to my right arm, which kept extending in an angled salute.
They would only go in an easterly direction.
I’ve put them in the back of the wardrobe, where I suspect they’re planning a Wetherspoons putsch.
I think I’ll buy some brogues.
Good morning 🌄 👍
14
Irish bogues, Jack?
Black or tan?
👠

Apologies, brogue.
Although I`ve just learnt a new word.
I may have a relative called Sam Bogue.

One of each 😁

Seeing the name on the nom, I was concerned for a moment that it was Esther Krakue, the only fit right-leaning black woman.
But, phew, it’s okay…just some random samɓo.
Here’s a pic of Esther looking damned hot:

Safe for all.

Tasty.

Top nom!
Instead of being raycist, they could have named the kids’ trousers ‘ Sunak’s Slacks’. A pair of filthy, piss stained jeans are known as ‘Grandpa Corbins’, after the well known Jew baiter.
Good morning, everyone.

Cor blimey!

Good one Sam! Subtle. Took me a moment to catch on.

What sort of cunt buys trousers at fuckin Sainsbury’s anyway?
The clothes they stock have two looks , window licker and Jehovah’s witness on dress down Friday.
I wouldn’t be seen dead wearing children’s knee grow pants.
7
I’ve been using NIQQER BROWN BOOT POLISH since being knee high to grasshopper and never had any complaints.

It`s the “Nugget” brand for me every time, Sammy …

Besides, they can’t touch you for that either, Sam.

It must be awful being black/Asian/ or some other ” put upon” minority.
Every waking hour feeling insulted / upset about your accident of birth….!
Dear dear…..😂
15
Exactly Arch. Other races complaining at the slightest thing, are only admitting they’re second class citizens, similar to blm too.

Morning, MNC! You are quite right. A gentleman acquires his trousers from a men’s outfitters. John Collier, Austin Reed, Gieves and Hawkes, all very respectable. For shoes, stick to Freeman Hardy and Willis.
5
Unattended washing lines for me.
Morning 20👍
7
I’m a knicker nicker, preferably before they get washed, which make the dick hard and cure the nasal passages also.

That pavement ape kept popping up on my X time-line, and yes he was a grievance monkey.
Fuck sainsbury’s and there black safe spaces, and that fucking toploader song..

Testing, testing..
Niggardly

Yeah!

On first glance at the headline, Sainsbury’s and this word “Esheru” which I’ve never heard before, I assumed Esheru was a contraction of the word Escherichia. I thought therefore that Sainsbury’s had an E. coli problem with their food. I now realise that although the subject of the nom may be highly toxic Sainsbury’s carry no responsibility whatsoever and I tender my full and unqualified apology to Sainsbury’s.
4
He’s gone bananas.
Morning all.
11
If you went with a line like that in school these days, you might expect to hear …
‘Ron Knee grow up’.
😋
2
Sainsbury’s were only trying to help, due to the black cunts always thieving their food, thought they could nick a pair of strides in the process. Nobody realises yet, that a tracker is sewn into the crutch area.
6
Stick that into your blowpipe Ester Kwakers.

Just a cotton picking minute boy, I say….
8
You never hear the chinky ” community” pissing or moaning / getting upset about anything, they just quietly settle in and get up to whatever they get up to…!
9
There’s always chinks in curtains down every street one walks down too, Arch.

This is what they are getting up to, Arch:

I’m genuinely perplexed. Who decides which words are offensive?
Do we have an Offensiveness Tsar? Or a Police,Crime and Offensive Words Commissioner?
Is there an Anti-Offensive Speech Directive of professional race grifters like David ‘Henry VII’ Lammy and this Escherichia Coli ‘political commentator’?
Or does the Guardian editorial committee decide and publish a monthly supplement listing all newly-imagined trigger words? Essential reading for the bien pensant bourgeoisie to avoid a faux pas (note all the French there folks!) and face social exclusion from the Islington dinner party set?
Negro.

The Guardian are famous themselves for printing spelling mistakes and probably dropped the odd bollock now and again, such as in their sports section when describing a goal scored by Karl-Heinz Rummenigger.

I hope they paid reparations for that.

Think it was this kwakers granddad who did for wollygog on the jamjar.

Sainsbury’s sell white-t shirts don’t they …..raciiiiiissssssssttttt 👍

They’re definitely racist, I’ve heard you can buy packs of White Tees there too.

Dammit, beaten to the punch!

I was given the job of squeezing out blackheads on my sisters back, with a hair clip. Got well paid for it too.

Next time I’m at the chess club, woe betide if I see black move first.

George Floyd tribute trousers.
Guaranteed to last for almost 9 minutes.
