Your Alzheimer's is acting up again. Nobody called anyone a "Homo
Sapiens", least of all *you*.

Just as the use of "Homo" as an insult now IDs you as a homophobe.
Ha ha.
I am not a phobe! I still use the words "Negro" and "Mexican" as well.
If I meant to be insulting there would be no doubt about it.

I have about 15 souvenir T-shirts with Canadian logos. When I wore
them around Hollyweird, only Canadian tourists were dumb enough to ask
what part of Canada I was from...

You have it wrong. Only the Canadians were smart enough to be able to
read and UNDERSTAND what it said on the T-Shirt

Oh good; a lecture on lexicography from a clown who grew up half a
world away from the US, knows no more about US slang and it's meanings
than we know about New Zealand slang, and is an admitted anti-semite
in the bargain.
I don't know about *you*, but that's the sort of person I *always*
look for when I want to find out what my next-door neighbor really
meant.
