Chink: Dictionary Definition suggests it IS offens

[Sam Slater]

Referring to the Oxford English Dictionary, calling a Chinese person a 'Chink' is offensive slang.

Calling a Chinese person a 'Chinky' is also offensive slang.

However, calling a Chinese take-away or meal a 'Chinky' isn't noted as offensive slang..........just slang.

This is probably because you're calling the restaurant or meal 'Chinky', and thus, these objects cannot get offended!

So common sense tells you that the following statement: "I was chatting to that Chinky guy on the tube today dear." would be offensive (if the guy you're talking about, or someone who didn't approve, was around to hear it).

The question: "Do you think we should order a Chinky tonight dear?" shouldn't be taken to offend.

Seems sensible to me.

Chinky was the word I used, being a teacher & all I thought you would have noticed that, I never ONCE used the word "Chink" just "Chinky" so stick that in your hand carved by Billy Bragg pipe and smoke it. Going down the Chink? sounds like a term used for the poor bastards who must suffer your teaching
