[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1218480, member: 14668"] "Squaw" was, during the frontier days, not only an extremely derisive term for a Native American woman but also a vulgar slang term for the female vagina. Its modern-day equivalent rhymes with the word "runt". I am not one who tends to be a proponent of all the politically correct feel good crap, but "squaw" is a truly obnoxious and offensive word that needs to be dropped out of circulation like a bad habit. To refer to a native woman as a "squaw" would be like calling gay people "fags" or black people "[IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG]s". It is a totally inappropriate word to use as part of ones normal vernacular. [/QUOTE]
