B/c this white bitch is familiar with the term's use in black American English, and it's not especially a term of disparagement towards Wiccans or anyone else. It just kinda means "wild."<BR/><BR/>Now, having said that, obviously the linkage of "heathen" and "wild" is historically suspect. But that's a separate issue, no?bitchphdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15118578280520171800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-1141948811898679582006-03-09T18:00:00.000-06:002006-03-09T18:00:00.000-06:00It also means "uncivilized".

I have to take back my emotional snit about your usage of the word heathen. I should have known you were not using it in the religiously perjorative sense.

It's also fairly antiquated. Therefore I always assumed your use of it was meant to be ironic. I mean, since it's pretty obvious you're not a Calvinist minister from the 1600's.<BR/><BR/>Sounds like the commentor is exercising the right of the member of a group to object to the use of pejoratives to that group by non-members? But it's not like you're calling those annoying teenagers Wiccans or Polytheists or something. I suppose if you wanted to make it totally clear that you're kidding, you could go all Shakespearean on their ass with <A HREF="http://www.pangloss.com/seidel/shake_rule.html" REL="nofollow"> this </A> handy little list ("Bootless gudgeons!")<BR/><BR/>Of course, where I come from, "badass" is usually a compliment, so what do I know?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
