Murph,
I must agree. I often hear things hear during the day that I am amazed at. I know those who said it intended no harm but in certain circles it is bad.

Vince's point is important too. Whether a short form or typed out most often the intent of mentioning that name IS to point out poor quality which would be racist. To be more correct and fitting for both sides of the pond, maybe we should simply mention that for $30 (for a set) or $6 (for a razor) you get EXACTLY what you paid for...............of course that would be unfair to the truly great bargains on the Polish made razors posted about here. Those I am meaning to try !
