I'd never heard of that word before.  Now added to my dictionary of words to slip into conversations...

I was once accused of using an offensive word (jigaboo)had the idiot who reported me listened to the full conversation, it was about a band/music, he gave  me a very wide berth after the rest of the time we were on shift together , after it was alleged I'd said I'd rip his head off & shit down his neck.😂

Part of the job is building rapport with the passengers and also seeing that sprogs are suitably strapped in... It's easy enough to call the kids cheeky little monkeys without giving colour a second thought :-[ and whilst our announcements might now be Everyone/Everybody most of us call people Sir/Madam and the crew darling...

Absolutely every person I encounter gets treated the same unless the rapport suggests otherwise be that positive or negative... The really nice person will get treated much better than the hoighty toity arsehole regardless of how much money they spend.

I believe the 'chimney sweep episode' has also been called racist due to blackface.

Yeah, but if I was on one of you flights, I'd be nicer to the trolley dollies that I would to you ;D.

S'pose that makes me sexist.

People often say us Yorkshire folk[yes I know I live in Lincolnshire at present but I was born in the West Riding of Yorkshire]are tight. I'd say we're not tight at all just careful wi us brass ::)
