I believe you mean the end is "nigh", as in near. Neighing (sounds like nay) is what horses do.
So Miley claimed to be embarrassed over the Vanity Fair photo and implied she was tricked into it. Lets put Annie Leibovitz photo next to the one she had someone take of her naked in a wet tee shirt and compare. Looks like someone will be heading back to the Disney parks for their version of rehab again.
If this girl isn't completely destroyed my the time she is 18 it will be a miracle.
I know this is really stupid to ask…is "coloured girl" a racial slur? Is "black girl" more appropriate? I really have no idea. I know…I'm a bit slow, but I didn't think it was that bad, but correct me if I'm wrong.
as a new blackberry convert, i must say: i find my blackberry more interesting than most people.
dolt - it's a slur. perhaps you are confusing the phrase with "person of color"?
Bah .. coloured girl, person of colour … all silly. I'm caucasian, not transparent. I'm a person of colour too .. by colour just happens to be pale, pinky beige.
Dolt, I thought the same thing. An outdated term? Yes. A slur? That's stretching it.
Funny, I thought this was going to come out of the mouth of the 75 year old guy.
Or, maybe, now here is just my thought:
Since 'That Colored Girl" is in quote marks, could it possibly be some irony? Or satire?
Maybe we can pretend to be archeologists, and sift through the Lowest Common Denominators
and see if we can figure out what could be ironic or satirical here?
This is your homework, if you choose to accept it.
I blame this current lack of humor on the New Yorker.
That damn cover seems to have drained us all.
My niece who is 14 and her friends take all kinds of pictures like this with their phones. Sorry to say this is what the young'ins do nowadays. Thats what the parents get for giving their own phones to "keep track of them".
