Is the word " SPADE " offencive?
Answer:
No - as it stands naked ! Wa WA WA
I've heard "spades" being used as the opposite of "whites", but I have absolutely no idea what it means...
if it's a spade it's a spade
.
depends what context you are putting it in doesn't it
when playing cards no...when describing people...yes
Not to shovels its not - however if you are using it to describe a person then yes. Very.
In what context? If your calling a person a spade then yes it would be offensive, but not if your talking about a digging tool or cards!!
Not in the gardening sense no but I think it can be offencive to call someone one!
Only if used in bigotry.
Not that I no of. Look it up in the dictionary.
No , it is a proper word. It is only offensive when it is purposely used in an offensive way. i.e. to insult a person whose skin colour is not white.
Where i come from we call spades shovels,
but as for calling people of another race a "spade",
yes it is very offencive a racist.
Depends on the way you use it
No
Yes, it was a slur used against African Americans.
It came from the idea of someone being black as the "ace of spades."
It isn't used much anymore.
