All in all this has been a pretty shitty year for me. Lost the house I grew up in. 33 and still living with my family (whom I can't stand). No BF still. Don't really feel like celebrating christmas this year.

Spending time with my family has really sucked lately but at least the presents are ok sort of

I'm writing an overture that's probably going to be my magnum opus considering I probably won't accomplish much else. Yay Christmas!

I got spending money, a travel guide to Japan and other random assorted goodies. 
Other than that I've been hiding from my family for a good five hours because all they're doing is drinking and bringing up nostalgic memories.

6 months now, long distance between Toronto and Chicago. Met when I was there for an internship and spent the summer together. Visited again briefly in December. Planning to reunite once school is over in the spring, and again later for summer 2014. It's been amazing and I love him.

We sure as hell do. We always open our presents at midnight. Christmas Eve is basically our Christmas and has been forever. That's when we make the food, etc. Christmas day is just another day.
I lol'd for like an entire minute.
Merry Christmas, LGBT GAF!
I was until now just a lurker in this thread but I thought I snow in to wish you something good!
Welcome
. . .
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!

Glad you agree.
Just had a heated debate about 'political correctness' because my uncle thinks that people don't complain if you call them
*.
And then he called me a
*, just to show me that it doesn't matter what you call people.

Alcohol brings out the worst in the people. :/
It was a great Christmas overall though since I had the chance to talk with my parents and brother.

'Neger' or 'Spaghetti Eater'
And then he called me a
'faggot'

My family isn't Mexican, but that's what we do too. (well, not the midnight part - we just open them some time in the evening)
Spaghetti Eater? That's a slur?
It's probably an archaic one.
Love you back 😘 and those were some good gifts, especially the airfare!
So far I dunno what I got yet. :c

Hey, this is from a few pages back, but does anyone know if this hairstyle has a name?
Kinda the same in here; not pissed though and I do get along with my dad and brother.
31, no car, sucky job, my mother passed away 3 months ago. No gifts, no nothing..hehehe.
Tried making new friends through the year, but like every time they have other/better friends and things to do. And the older friends (3) have their girlfriends, wife, kid, family, etc. and other friends.
No relationship of any kind...ever (last guy I talked to was on October and live the other guys I've met online first disappeared after we met/talked in person for the first time.
Gifts, is no biggie. None this year (which is normal actually, usually my mom was the one that gave me some money and some figurines/toys for display)...though I'm not a fan of receiving gifts, I do appreciate the gesture (which actually means more than any gift). I don't mind giving them and not receiving any in returns. I got my father, brother and 3 friends some gifts. Some for now, other for 2 weeks for "three kings day".
Was kinda expecting even a few "merry christmas" from close friends and my mom's side of the family just because of my mom passing away, but not even that.
Oh well. Hoping for a better:
2014!!!! YES!!!!
I rofled.

I haven't got any pressies yet
Apparently it translates to
'wops'
'Spaghetti Eater' was a word made up by me in an attempt to translate the german word
Spaghettifresser
I'm glad that I don't see that uncle more than two times a year.

I think it's a Christmas miracle. I think I'm going to have my first "open" experience tomorrow - It's fucking scary but so damn exhilarating.
Neither of us are outed but we have had some really intense flirting going on lately, like too much for him to just be "friendly", I think. Pretty sure he knows that I'm Bi though.
Anyway, wish me luck.

Ah, gotcha. Foreign slurs are always interesting to learn about.

My favorite's "puta," personally.
I don't see how calling someone spaghetti eater can be offensive in any way.
That's right bitch I eat spaghetti, what you gonna do about it?
Offense is in the eye of the beholder. Old-school slurs generally lack subtlety and go for an obvious trait, aka every potato-based offensive term for the Irish. Context and intent play into it as well. Whatever slur gains popularity to describe the threat du jour to America's purity, then that basically becomes short hand for prejudice. "Hebrew" isn't an offensive term, but if I hear someone refer to a person as a "Hebe" then that one syllable quite succinctly sums up how they view that person. That having been said, as an Italian American there aren't really any hot-button slurs. I think the worst you could call me is a
stupid wop dago
I tried Googling it, but I'm still not sure what that is??
As for me, no presents cuz we don't celebrate Christmas. Instead, I got a project due right now + presentation. yay!

Generalized hispanic slurs aside, I don't know that my Puerto Rican heritage has any major slurs or even stereotypes, really. Being a commonwealth we're basically just tan-americans.
I'm also german, which is... kinda stereotyped as being racist or drunkards in the first place.
Some decades ago, "spics" was insulting to some Puerto Ricans that moved to the US, because it was a derogatory term used to refer to them. "The spics", usually because a common phrase from them was "I don't *speak* english", but it was also used to refer to them as lesser people, or illegal immigrants that moved to the US to steal, do poor people's job, etc.
PR are also seen as lazy, loud and partying types, so there's that stereotype too. XD
Then again, in PR..cabron, puta, mama bicho, etc..which are technically insults; are used on a daily basis as actual praise.

And I just said puta was one of my favorite foreign slurs! Granted, I was talking about its roots in Portuguese, but it still totally counts. Besides, we do that in English, too. "That's motherfuckin' bitchin'," etc.
The only thing that comes to mind when I think of spic is spiccato. I hope "spic" gets retooled into a positive description sometime in the future so that it describes someone as bouncy or bubbly. Weirder slurs have turned into general descriptors in the past.

Fuck this. I need to find someone who is not going to play head games with me. I still want to fuck him, but this just isn't worth it. I just blew $150 at a casino and $50 in gas, and I didn't get any head or ass or even a sign of intimacy - and people think women are complicated - Pish-Posh.
