dexters chinese whispers

[lippyzippy]

the old game of Chinese whispers is a great one....tell a story to a group of people.....then invite a stranger in and ask one of the listeners to relay the story to the new arrival....then ask another person in and so it goes on....

by the time the story is done the story about William tell ends up being about a Isaac newton.....the misrepresentation and embellishment is incredible

one poster says 3 pages about dexters misrepresentation is sad....when sam said "don't feel you have to talk to me just because callums just left to dexters version ....."sam said go away"

so if I relay these words the way dexter does (lets call it dexterified for short)



is this poster basically calling me and all other people who back sam in this argument as sad barstewards.....

im going to now say I think dexter was a little foxy, cocky and sloppy here....if you want to dexterify that statement....maybe this can be relayed to all other male posters, that I called them cock floppy.....it means much the same thing doesn't it?

Is this not considered a racist expression in the UK? It is racist.

Not sure, but i don't like it anyway.

Is it heck racist... honestly. Silly but not racist at all.

I get fed up with this being bandied around.

[Spoon]

The idea being that Chinese = sneaky? It's horrible.

[Tozzie]

sometimes it is referred to as 'the telephone game' I think that would be more acceptable. In this day and age words that mention a particular race in a negative way such as 'chinese whispers' is deemed as racist and offensive so isn't tolerated. We have to be careful in our choice of words.

sorry it was too complex for you ......if you like simple vote the simpleton sophie

[smeagol]

Chinese whispers is just a saying . though i'm sure a lot of the hate out there has some racist motives to it.
Chinese people are lovely i hate the sneaky tag people try to put on them .
most are really nice people who put us to shame.

are you actually biting at the one person who defended you against racist accusations in here? :hugesmile: right ok then......

it was a jokey gif, calm down. The last little paragraph of your opening post is random and garbled, nothing to do with it being too complex, I understand complex fine thank you.

[smudgie]

Nothing to do with being sneaky.

Was called Russin scandal before that.

More to do with people not understanding what is whispered to them.


As in a foreign language.:spin:

Chinese whispers is an age old game for crying out loud

[muchadoaboutnothing]

Anything said about another country or it's people or even refering to the country in a way like Chinese Whispers etc seems to be considered racist which I think is a shame. We have to walk round on egg shells in case we offend someone. Jemima was called to the DR and given a warning for saying that black guys or chinese guys were not her type when it comes to fancying men but it was made into a racist issue - so wrong.

yep, but these days political correctness exists and the game uses a race in a negative way, I feel your pain though, I feel it sometimes is taken way too far.

[Kazanne]

LOL,there's nothing wrong with saying Chinese whispers,wtf,LOL,LOL ,I might go and have an Indian tonight,Chinese,Thai,oh **** it I better have fish and chips

[Blue Cadillac]

Am I missing something here? Are we saying that the old game 'Chinese whispers' is not politically correct anymore, and that we should refer to it as 'the telephone game' (since when did it involve a telephone?!!). I despair with society, really I do. I suppose German bulldog, kiss chase and marbles (I think I've lost mine) aren't pc either? No wonder kids don't know how to play outside and use their imagination anymore - they're thwarted by the pc brigade.

Sorry, went off topic a bit there.....

Its ridiculous. People try to find offense in absolutely everything. I thought it was only mad old biddies that did it, until I came on here.

[Northern Monkey]

I can't believe that anyone would call THE GAME of Chinese whispers racist.WTF?

[Issac]

...when sam said "don't feel you have to talk to me just because callums just left to dexters version ....."sam said go away"


You can't expect people to paraphrase what you said days ago. Why did Sam say that to only Dexter when the whole house ignores the bore? Sam had it for "the A$$hole!" now was the time for redemption.

Talking about Chinese whispers yourself, spinning what Dex said;

Dex; 'Don't talk to me now Callum has gone'

Sam; 'Don't feel the need to talk to me now Callum has gone'

Same bloody meaning!

Sam Callum & their fans construe what was said as an attack because Dexter spoke the truth and made Sam look like a plonker.

I once said on a forum about how hilarious I found a particular Irish joke and I got a real battering for it, some got really aggressive with me. I agree about the eggshells and we certainly have to put our brain into gear before we engage our mouths

lmao I'm not saying you have to call it the telephone game, I googled the term chinese whispers and it came up with that. Did you really think I was saying you have to call it that? hahahahaha well funny

No, but you think it would be more acceptable!

[Im_Juz_ChiLLin]

Today, the name "Chinese whispers" is said by some to be considered offensive. Historians trace Westerners' use of the word Chinese to denote "confusion" and "incomprehensibility" to the earliest contacts between Europeans and Chinese people in the 1600s, and attribute it to Europeans' inability to understand and appreciate China's radically different culture and worldview. Using the phrase "Chinese whispers" suggested a belief that the Chinese language itself is not understandable.

[Blue Cadillac]

I bet Chinese people aren't in the slightest bothered about it. I'm sure they have more pressing things to worry about!

[Sandz38]

Then it's about time that peeps stopped crying over SAMs deafness ;)

[Tozzie]

No, but you think it would be more acceptable!

I guess I worded it wrong, I should have said 'perhaps it would be more acceptable' All I meant was that in this day and age we have to be careful in what we say because we get into trouble for anything that is deemed as racist. We live in a world of political correctness that I believe is taken way too far but there are always going to be people who get offended at particular terms. If someone called me a white so and so it wouldn't bother me in the slightest but for some it would be seen as being racist. Oh dear, I think I'm flogging a dead horse here, oh well, I know what I mean LOL. I'm sorry for laughing at what you thought, it did just make me chuckle, I'd never call it The Telephone Game.

^^^THIS, its probably all the people who are responsible for political correctness who make a deal out of it.

whoever tried to imply Chinese whispers is racist is an idiot and should be banned from this site imo

Yes, because that's the same, isn't it?

Dear God.

[Jemal]

So basically what people are saying is that I was a racist as a kid? When i was playing Chinese whispers.

"I heard a rumour that Cadbury is bringing out an oriental chocolate bar.

Could be a Chinese Wispa."



Comedian Rob Auton has won an award for the funniest joke of the Edinburgh Fringe.

The 30-year-old, from York, was given the prize by digital TV channel Dave, whose panel put a selection of their favourites to a public vote.

He won for the joke: "I heard a rumour that Cadbury is bringing out an oriental chocolate bar. Could be a Chinese Wispa."

The top 10 funniest included jokes by Tim Vine and Marcus Brigstocke.

The judges sat through hours of material before nominating their favourite three gags for the shortlist.
