I've been using the expression most of my life, but never with any derogatory intent nor implication, but as a generic reference.  Has to be said that you're the first person who I've met who has attached an undertone to it.  Not saying you're wrong, but am unsure🤷🏻�♂️

It's a sneering/ sarcastic  word .
Used to make fun of people who are supposedly xenophobic .

Sorry, but why is it derogatory?

Totally agree Muddy, hopefully the Government will toughen the rules.

Believe me at close range it would be a lot less terrible than a shotgun.

You haven't lived! 😉

And still you haven't although by highlighting the words I can get my tablet to read them to me. Something I shall do before I complete this comment.

Sadly it was done in a whiney female American voice. Something to play with on another occasion to see if it can't do better.

Well since we in the UK can't have a hand gun & a legal rifle or shotgun has to be locked in cabinet it only leaves a crossbow as a viable safe distance weapon.

I wouldn't dream of using such a weapon on any animal but I'd have no problem whatsoever with using it on a human intruder.

In the USA & the majority of other countries, including some EU countries, being prepared for home defence is discussed openly as something that needs to be done.

It's only in the UK where it seems to be a taboo subject that attracts criticism & where society seems to prefer the householder to be killed rather than the intruder.
