As you are not generally known for getting your facts right, here is what
happened to the word "macacas." Somebody used the term on Goanet and I merely
asked what it meant as I was unfamiliar with it. When I was informed that one
explanation was that it was a derogatory word by whites for (East) Indians in
the USA, I wondered aloud why the word had not crossed the pond to the UK. I
am sorry you got tickled pink over this simple query with specific reference to
my minimal engagement with the term and then seemingly generated a story around
it. Perhaps checking facts in the archives by you would save wasting our time.
In case you reply to this post, please note that, I have no intention of
responding to you as I have better things to do.

The record shows that it was YOU and Cornel who used
the word Macacas ! way before me, in posts where you
were full of praise for the health care system in the
communist haven of Cuba. Subsequently, Francis
Rodrigues, aka Aunty Ponty, has angrily claimed to
have been the one to have coined the word Macacas ! on
Goanet, and even used a lame excuse for the space
between the s and the exclamation mark. You obviously
did not know that you and Cornel had used the word
Macacas ! in your posts or that Francis had used it
before you, because you questioned ME about why I had
used the word. I, who had used it after Francis,
Cornel and you. Talk about strange!
