Off topic, but some might find the expression "Chinese Whispers" offensive. Personally, I'm not bothered by antiquated foreign stereotyping expressions (another would be "Indian Giver"), but some people may take issue. Just a 'head's up'.





Maybe change it to "Broken Telephone," which in North America means the same thing. The only people who may get offended with that are telephone companies, but we pay them way too much as it is, so screw'em!

explain

It's a very funny scene where a Randall is surprised to discover that the affectionate term his Grandmother used for him when he was little ("Porch Monkey") is actually very racist, derogatory term for African-Americans (Randall is caucasian, so was his grandmother). What follows is a hilarious subplot where Randall decides to "take it back," liberating the term from its racist origins. What follows is comedy gold!

Watch Clerks II and see.

Rhyeking has a point..

Me, being dutch, feels always very offended by the english language!!

Now back ontopic!!

Rhyeking,

Please, go and be politically correct elsewhere.  There is NOTHING even remotely offensive in the phrase "Chinese Whispers" - it's a commonly used phrase in many countries that speak English around the world and has absolutely NO negative connotations whatsoever.

Where on EARTH do you people come from?

He has a point, though. Here in Mexico we have expressions which are racist taken out of context, such as someone saying that they "work like a black man" or making work that "not even a black man would do", or using the word "indian" (indio) in a derogatory way to refer to someone with native mexican roots, or even saying that "we were deceived or tricked like if we were vile chinese people".

These are literal translations of very common expressions in the Spanish language here in Mexico.

American Reverend Jessie Jackson made a big deal out of a postal stamp inspired by an old comic book character called "Memín Pingüín", who was a stereotypical black kid with brown skin and huge mouth. The character existed for about 40 years before that but some people tend to blow these things out of proportion.

I don't have a problem with the expression "Chinese Whispers" at all and comparing it with the kind of expressions we have here, I don't see the problem.

Still, I understand someone COULD POSSIBLY feel offended.

* Fred did the vocals on one take, after drinking some vodka.

That was about some part of song, "I'm never giving in..." or the final "Show" cry, don't remember. Not the whole song.

WTF?

The demo we heard September 2017 at the Metropolis Studios "Innuendo - Back to Tapes" happening had Brian May playing the chord sequence with the guitar on top of the drum machine and singing the guide vocal.

The drums were definitely recordid at Metropolis Studios Drum "room" which is tiled small room that has a height of 10 meters or something.

I believe the synthesizer was a KORG M1.

I know! I'm just as indignant as you are at snowflakes spreading false stories about Freddie recording vocals in one take...[/QUOTE]

Meanwhile, the rest of us are laughing our asses off over the fact that you, the resident alt right retard, are repeating something that's already been stated *in this very topic*, TEN YEARS AGO, simply adding a few anachronisms that make it obvious that you are incapable of understanding a little thing called "the passage of time", yet you *still* think you said something meaningful and are under the impression that you are *not* a complete laughing stock.

I'd feel sorry for you, but you are such a disgusting failure at being human that even when you make such an enormous fool of yourself I don't.
