Just four people.

Not five, not six.

Googling 'Hooped earrings, History' comes up with this
>>Hoop earrings have a very long history dating all the way back to the ancient Sumerians from modern-day Iraq in 2600 B.C. Different variations of the hoop have been adopted by a range of cultures around the world, from the Hmong women of Vietnam to the Gadaba tribe of India, as Vogue points out. But, in America, the style has often been adopted by women of color in an effort to reclaim their culture and celebrate their history.

//I suspect the people who conjure this sort of complaint up live in a permanent state of misery.//
I suspect you are indeed correct there Naomi. A little while back on a thread regarding gender classification I suggested the choices should be Animal, Vegetable or Miserable. Funny thing is the "people" who raise these spurious objections seem to have no issue with blokes dressing up as wimmin,( unless it's a bit of fun) or vice versa. In fact they positively encourage it..........what about gender appropriation then? Oohh you are awful.

From now on you can only wear hooped earrings if you have a plate in your bottom lip.

Ooops sorry I forgot I've been given my marching orders on this thread.

Is wearing Gold /Silver chains as jewelry acceptable or does it suggest slavery?

I was wondering why you would be reading what sounds like a European Union newspaper.

Then I did some digging around and found some blogs about the site.

I now understand completely.

She lives in Australia and can't speak much Spanish.

And has never heard of doing a bit of research before she lets her typing fingers loose on the internet.

I'm not sure that the EU Times is an acceptable place to source stories for rational discussion. Fake news. Sad.

I think linking to it does this site and its members no favours - it does, however, fill the coffers of these neo-Nazis.

yeah did you read the bit about hooped earrings and the wherethefrackarewe tribe - the tribe that lives in very long grass but are very small. They shout a lot " where the frack are we?" as they make their way around the long grassed savannah hunting giraffe and rhiboceros. A bit like the ooma-goolie tribe.
The girls' developed a fashion for long hooped earrings and THEY could be audio-located by the shouts of 'oo me hooba-loobaz!" Talk about plates in mouths - their ears were an awful mess

AOH described a few amongst the flying beasts when he chanced it and went down to Notting Hill

Who the fugawi are we Talbot? (^_*)

[Peter Pedant]

thank you - fugawi tribe

I wonder that AOG does not tell me to gather up my soft toys and ( flying beasts and so on) and tell me to go and play elsewhere

[Togo]

Have you taken the plates out pp or put something a little less obvious in?

[Mamyalynne]

Because he likes banishing me, it makes him feel powerful.


Sulking now.

Ha...you spotted it as well Ellipsis.

Here, type the word 'Jew' into the search field on the site, but before you do, I advise you to hold on to your chin to stop it bouncing off the floor.

I'm not going to check all 76 replies so if someone else has already lamented the potential demise of the old expression 'cock-a-hoop' on sooooo many grounds I apologise.
