I think Mexicans have a thicker skin than you seem to imagine. It does make me feel good though that Vinny Barbarino is now completely bald, and Gabe Kaplan is a professional gambler. The Sweathogs were good people, that was the whole point of the show. It is you who is insulting, that I was implying they were not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You trying to backtrack as if you made a compliment is just one big hoot-SNORK! They were called sweathogs in that show because the suggestion was that they were misfits so yes your missive would be construed as insulting by most people that are familiar with your online persona and that show,Gary Waller aka chillin.

CHILLIN Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 Wow - that is the biggest chunk of verbal garbage to come out of your mouth for some time Col. Kurtz. If you, and a bunch of fellow enthusiasts, want to take their lawnmower engines or chainsaws, take all the mufflers off, then strap them to your bicycles - go ahead. But know the neighborhood dogs, people with car alarms, and Mom's with small kids, are not impressed at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The name had long been used in the school by teachers and staff for the juvenile delinquents who were enrolled in remedial classes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife the retired school teacher was given the worst grade 6 class in her school one year. everyone called them the sweathogs and she came home more than once in tears. It's far from being a term of endearment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dostortas Posted December 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 My intention with this post was to share some lighthearted things we’ve delighted in while living here and to hear some of the like from others. Nothing more. Still to this day, ANY foreign object on the floor looks like a scorpion even after said object has been identified 😎 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
