Question for tFlagship posters

Is the term "Arky" offensive to you? I'd always just used it as an abbreviation for Arkansas, but one of your swine brethren told me it's a derogatory like calling some an Okie. What's the deal here?

They prefer "backwoods Ozark pig forkers" FYI.
Cork soakers works too.

Doesn't bother me. Some are way too sensitive about the image. To me, its just a shortcut that's easy to type.

While we are on the topic, where does the Flagship come from???

No, I actually use it myself but I've seen some get offended. Who cares?

Yes it is.
It's like someone whose name is Robert being called Robbie even though he doesn't go by the name.
Its a little condescending

I thought it was Ark-Kansas.

Depends on the context. If used on purpose to be an a-hole I have a problem. But normal conversations is fine with me.

Because Arkansas is now The Flagship of tSEC.

That's what I've always used it for. Apparently some of Hogs feel more passionately about this than the great stadium debate. Who would have guessed?

doesn't bother me at all. there are some extremely butthurt Arkie fans who take themselves way to serious. it's just a shortened version of the word.

I haven't ever been offended by "Arky".
Posted on 3/9/11 at 10:56 am to Quigley
I don't find it offensive at all. It's just an abbreviation in most cases.

One of our clients pronounces it R-Kansas. He's a silly old coot, but I can't keep a straight face when he says that

Doesn't bother me at all, the GSD on the other hand just wears me out.

I have replaced Arky with just Flag

There's a MSU poster on here that constantly refers to us as PigU. THAT I can't stand.
or maybe it's just him
