@KSofen As always, acceptability of word depends on context, but Black used it in a dismissive way. -

@HeerJeet Must be nice to be Conrad Black, "big name" so can get any piece of garbage published with little scrutiny/oversight...Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@zrahul2020@KSofen As I said, context matters. Newfoundlanders object when term used dismissively, as it was by Black.

@HeerJeet It never has been acceptable usage. It's a slur that has some in-group acceptance but shouldn't be used by non-group-members. -
@erlking Right -- as so often, I think term is acceptable in-group but not in way Black used it (both out-group and dismissively).
