Any idea for a secret Santa surprise?

Isn’t Polak racist? Aren’t you a Pole?

Send her a bible, seems like a great introduction to who you are.

Polak is when someone of English speaking nations tries to lower someone of Polish origin yea, but we polaks when we call ourselves amongst ourselves like that it’s straight :)

Sounds like another ethnic slur I’ve heard rationalized before.

So anyways, any ideas of what I can to to get this girl for a present?

I think that goes for all ethnicity you’re right.

You can’t go wrong with flowers.

This would be perfect!!!!!

You can put it right in a box. She’ll know you mean bidness….

Make her some perogi. Those little things just drip love, warmth and happiness.

One of those candy bouquets or fruit bouquets would be cool. Maybe a charm bracelet or a cute necklace?

I don’t see where ethnicity has anything to do with the question, but I think any girl would like any of those gifts.

Make her something homemade. Yes I got that answer from the question I asked a few days ago. this one

Holy little smokies, Judi! That was awesome. I love the “abuse not” flower.

whoa hold on a second, since when was polack a racist term? I seriously thought it was what they were called. Pole just sounds like something I put a flag on or pay people to dance around.

@lkid: Read

My Great Grandparents were Polaks. They used that term for everything. They even called each other Polaks.

@judo: Considering your great grandparents probably grew up when it was still acceptable, makes sense.

ha yeah I read the wiki page, I am just stunned. I grew up in Toledo and there’s a lot of polish people there and I just heard it all the time and never thought anything of it, nor did anyone make a big deal of it.
