Local English Media Roundup
I would not be surprised if the typo was PebhPal's, not Peter's. He makes a lot of them. The guy behind PenhPal is not a trained journalist. He does sometimes post some good information, but does not go to the lengths to verify it that a proper journalist would.
I'm totally lost. Saudis are ragheads, not shitheels. Everyone knows that.LTO wrote:Still lost.
Is 'shitheel' racist in some version of English? I don't know the meaning of this word (beyond the obvious not nice sound to it), and Google is unenlightening.

Your tubby mate who's relocated to the desert was described as a shitheel. Ozir got the wrong end of the shit stick and things are turning silly.

Nothing to do with racism - simply citing a dig at a former poster who is American. Really not worth expending time and energy on.LTO wrote:So can somebody translate the OP for me? Does it have anything to do with racism?

Hmm. Ok, I saw the original comment when it was made on twitter and I understood the reference at the time, but the Op is still lost on me. Thought the might have been some sort of British English thing going on here. Anyways...No worries, not worth the effort I guess.andyinasia wrote:Nothing to do with racism - simply citing a dig at a former poster who is American.

This got out of hand rather hastily.
The typo was in based in .
My fault was that I called him Paul, even though his name is Peter. I was daydreaming about Crocodile Dundee.
The point was that paragraph stated the owner is an expat in Cambodia, and not a fat something shitheel in Dubai. Like citizens from Dubai are lazy and stuff.
I'm lost.

People sometimes relocate, and Dubai is a city in the UAE, not Saudi Arabia. Citizens of Dubai are not exactly renowned for working too hard either, they have foreigners to do all that stuff for them.0zirC wrote: The point was that paragraph stated the owner is an expat in Cambodia, and not a fat something shitheel in Dubai.

Confusion clouds my brain around this thread.
