I have been a member of this forum for some times,personaly i like to read & learn more rather than post.
I have read your posts in the past & i would say you have a habit of insulting people with your comments,however this last one should get you banned in my opinion.
Canada is a multicultural country,with many languages,yes many of our citizens might not be perfect in english however that does not make them any less of a canadian than you sir.
HOWEVER ,THE FACT THAT YOU ALLOW YOURSELF TO USE THE WORD GOOK IN A PUBLIC CANADIAN FORUM,IS VERY MUCH UNCANADIAN.
I am not asian,but as a canadian i feel that you have insulted me & every one else here with your language & i do not think you should have the previlige of using this great forum.
Moderators & people on this site work too hard to offer us a great community,which should not be tainted by your racial comments.

"HOWEVER ,THE FACT THAT YOU ALLOW YOURSELF TO USE THE WORD GOOK IN A PUBLIC "

I dont think he used the word in the sense you thought,"gobbly-gook",just a slang or phrase to mean mixed up.

I'm know that you are correct. Many people use "gobbly gook" as a slang term for mixed up. (I only pointed it out in my first post as not being propper English. Nothing more!)

Bob would not mean anything other than that.
Of this I am 100% positive!

I'm not sure, but judging by some of Bob's previous posts, he has baited the hook and gotten quite a few bites.

"gook" "kike" "spik" etc are just symbols...don't let them bother you
black people did the right thing by reappropriating the "N" word, it made it quite powerless. It may just be me, but I find it quite funny when one has that much power of someone with one word. This is not to offend anyone so please READ before you yell at me, use your mind and take in what I said...don't just "go off"

Step back from people and define things for yourselves...it is quite empowering

I personally do not think it was intended as some people think. Here is the webster definition I found. I'm not tring to take sides but there is more than one meaning.

2 entries found for gook.
To select an entry, click on it

Pronunciation: 'guk, 'gük
variant of GUCK

My 2 cents.
Try it out on webster.com
