  • It wouldn't bother me. I didn't even know what it meant until I looked it up. Although some people are saying that it wasn't said at the time and has been invented afterwards, which seems a bit odd. Also, some people really will be offended because it's a military reference to a conflict in which people died.

    In the same way the English and Irish could cause offence by using the term "black and tans".
