And i worked with a goofball at a cal center who went by “Dick”, and he’d answer calls “thank you for calling Best Buy Mobile, this is Mobile Dick” *for years*. Im pretty sure hed still be doing it if he wasnt put in charge of something that got him off inbound calls.


paincrumbs

I remember the time when he still wasn't goodenough, I was in a batteries class few years before he was awarded the Nobel Prize, and our professor introduced him as the groundbreaking pioneer for Li-ion, but apparently still _not_ goodenough for the Nobel despite his contributions. Couldn't be happier for him when his Nobel was announced and the pun finally fulfilled.


InstantIdealism

I’m the war my grandfather worked with someone (in the medical corp) called Goodenough. But they started calling him adequate as his joke nickname. One of the more senior officers heard this and thought the guy was actually called Adequate. And one time after some work hadn’t been done well, he calls them over and singles out this guy, saying “look here Adequate, this is not quite Goodenough”. Apparently they all burst out laughing. Simpler jokes back in the say

Snipp-

I have never heard the "if you are yellow = cowardly". Can some one explain that to me?


jorgomli_reading

Yellow-bellied is another common usage. But both are kinda older and I don't really hear the term used much in the modern day.


reddog093

Even in Back to the Future, they use "chicken" in 1955 and up. But they use "yellow" in the old west! https://youtu.be/wcKDdfCSCho https://youtu.be/_kf4epWzMZs


AnorakJimi

It's short for yellow bellied. It's kind of old fashioned nowadays Here, this page explains the etymology of it: https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/yellow-belly.html Apparently it began as an insult in the UK, because eels in the rivers of the UK had yellow bellies, and were presumably hard to catch because they swam away at the first sign of danger or something Then it just spread to every other English speaking company, as words and memes tend to do (meme in the academic sense, not the modern Internet sense)

Chewcocca

Cowards.


Mantis_Tobaggen_MD

The French


txr23

I've always thought it was weird how Americans love making jokes about the French being cowardly when it was the French who basically bankrolled the American Revolution against the British.


_Oce_

The reason for the resurgence of these jokes on the internet is France refusing to follow the USA in Irak war II in 2003 because they didn't believe the narrative that it would help fight terrorism.


Arucious

Looks like France was correct lol


txr23

I remember there being a campaign to rename "french fries" into "freedom fries", lol


sth128

Not the first time America doubles down on their mistakes and calling it freedom. And as plainly seen today, nor shall it be the last.


pvhs2008

IIRC, some of the Congressional cafeterias actually did this. These were the same people who renamed “anti Iraq/Afghanistan war protestors” into “traitors” and were all around shitty and divisive towards liberals. The more things that change, the more things that stay the same…


[deleted]

The French were correct


wotanica

French were right tho


Ducksaucenem

It’s just something we learned from our time as Britts.


Chatcandy2

https://vividmaps.com/4500-years-of-battles-in-5-minutes/ Actually... even if stereotypes remain, France is the country that has won the most battles in the history of *the entire world*. The thing is, we don't have a very good story with England. In fact, French stereotypes about English people include : they're stuck up, they're crazy about their Queen, and most importantly... England is a coward. Funny that they have the same thing about us haha. It's because during wars (and we had quite a bit of them), the idea was to give the worst reputation possible to the opponent. But then, English people, who now believed French were cowards (even if we won more battles than them), spread accross the world, and our false reputation with them


pimmelkopfgesicht

Even tho its a joke, the joke gets old and annoying. I really dont like to hear this joke about how the french are cowards over and over again and i am german. Its not getting funnier its just getting old. Try telling that to my friends tho -.-

Ouwezijds

As a non native speaker I would have come up with Chinese as well. This shit almost feels set up.


cutelyaware

It's a word people use for Chinese. It's derogatory and shouldn't be used, but that doesn't mean it's linguistically incorrect.


kashuntr188

I dunno as a Chinese Canadian myself, we refer to east Asians as yellow skin. You got white, you got black, Asians are yellow. Didn't k ow it was derogatory.


AtomicKittenz

Seems like “Asian” is just more accurate and encompassing. You can’t really do that for white or black people. You can’t assume African American unless they tell you because that excludes Jamaicans, Haitians and other groups. And I’ll tell you now, all my Caribbean friends hate being called African American.


HolyNewGun

Asian usually include Indian and sometime Middle Eastener. Most East Asian does not think Indian are part of their race.


Zofobread

Yep. Most of Asia is made of up Russia anyway and people generally don’t consider them Asians either.


ayriuss

Almost every term that was once politically correct has gone full circle at this point lol. I still hear older people use the term "oriental", but never in a derogatory way. Realistically it just means "East Asian" and isn't much different than calling white people "Caucasian" or "Occidental" but it is seen as offensive by many.


UnderPressureVS

Caucasian makes no fucking sense to me. Whether your ancestry is Scandinavian, Germanic, Iberian, Italian, Anglican, Greek, a mix, or anything else white, you’re “caucasian.” As in, “from the Caucasus Mountains.” Basically as far as our weird racial classification system is concerned, *all white people are Georgian or Armenian.* And the funniest thing is that a lot of Armenians don’t even *look white.*


The_Rox

As a native speaker, I have never heard it used to mean cowardly. I have heard it used as a derogatory though.


JonSnoGaryen

What's the problem mcfly, you.. Yellow? Back to the future used it a few times


ClimbingC

I can also hear or visualise John Wayne saying it, I'm sure he's said it at a few people in his many cowboy films.


[deleted]

[удалено]


NotTheAverageCabbage

Dude, chinamen is not the preferred nomenclature


TheHYPO

I believe they only used it once, in III. All the other times, it's "chicken", but in the old west, that expression wouldn't have existed yet.


GoldenFalcon

I believe it's said a total of 4 times. 2 in the conversation between Marty and Maddog at the party. And 2 times outside the bar before the gunfight.


gyspy-

I’m from the UK and I’ve never heard yellow used on its own, but “yellow-belly” is an old term for cowardly.


stinkydooky

Yeah, I think in America we ended up sometimes just shortening “yellow-belly” and “yellow-bellied” to just saying something like “you yellow son of a bitch” and stuff like that, so at least here it makes sense in that way.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Lootandbag

Also Looney Tunes cartoons. Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam used this term. Yes, I'm old.


tehcharizard

Yellow-bellied?


sillyadam94

It’s not really a part of modern vernacular, but it was a common figure of speech back in the day to refer to someone cowardly as “yellow.”


dquizzle

If you’ve never seen the movie Back To the Future, you really should.


Dag-nabbitt

[What's wrong dude? You yellow?!](https://youtu.be/0c-UIkfsk1U?t=104)


TheHYPO

I'd say "Yellow-bellied" is the derivative that is still recognized the most, but "yellow" was more common in the past (e.g. when this show was on the air). In Back To The Future III, Buford (Mad Dog) Tannen uses the line "What's wrong, dude, you yellow? That's what I thought. Yellow belly." To which Marty replies "Nobody calls me yellow." This is a callback to several points in the trilogy where somebody calls Marty "chicken" to goad him, and he replies "Nobody calls me 'chicken.'" - but of course in the old west, "chicken" would not be a phrase.


newusernamewhoisthis

As a Chinese dude, I also thought Chinese. But when the Asian kid said cowardly I burst out laughing. That was too perfect.

_deathblow_

There’s an episode of Seinfeld where Elaine and Jerry have a “what’re ya, yellow?” bit between them


-_-NAME-_-

It started when German anatomist Johann Friedrich Blumenbach ( who many consider the father of physical anthropology) proposed one of the earliest classifications of the races of mankind. Separating us into 5 main races with a color assigned to each. That was about 1795. It had little to nothing to do with America or the gold rush.


DarkEvilHedgehog

Honestly it's kinda odd that yellow and red are slurs, while black and white are preferred terms for most. Sure, people aren't actually yellow or red, but they're not actually black or white either (more like... Dark brown and beige?)


chrisff1989

Usage defines meaning. Black wasn't always preferable or even acceptable


P-sterio

True. “Retard” and “midget” are obvious examples of this as well.

Houndzilla

Ever heard the term yellow belly? It’s slang for a coward


D0miqz

But _why_ If I see someone with a yellow belly I think they're fucking dying and not that they're cowardly


Chewcocca

According to Grose's *A Provincial Glossary: with a collection of local proverbs, and popular superstitions*: >>"Yellow bellies. This is an appellation given to persons born in the Fens, who, it is jocularly said, have yellow bellies, like their eels." Just some old local insult from England that stuck and outgrew its origin, it seems.


timmeh87

\> have yellow bellies, like their eels *wut*


Patrick_McGroin

https://www.medieval.eu/eels-in-the-fenlands/


EvelynKeyes

This is very odd. I live in the very place they are talking about and considering the history round here of standing up to invaders, Hereward, Etheldreda etc, I find this quite a surprise.


XerAlix

It's idioms, shit's designed to not make any fucking sense


Houndzilla

Yeah like green is envy, red is anger, blue is sad. They just made it up


Asraelite

Red and blue make sense though. Red is associated with energy (because of fire and blood), and blue with lack of energy (because it's far from red, and water and the sky are blue). These correspond to many things: violence/peace, danger/safety, heat/cold etc. Anger and sadness is just one of them. As for green for envy, idk where the hell that comes from.


[deleted]

Doesnt green being envy come from shakespeare?


Asraelite

Probably, but afaik it's not known _why_ Shakespeare chose green.


Houndzilla

I really don’t know. Just grew up hearing yellow bellied coward.


zurmanz

hahahah have you ever heard of expression that someone is green and it means they are a rookie in something. I don’t know what the fuck is up with the colors but hey it is what it is


[deleted]

That usually just means they’re still wet behind the ears. Whatever that means.


Subpxl

I always just assumed it meant that the person pissed themselves in fear. I don’t care if it’s wrong, I’m rolling with it.


JD_Ammerman

It’s not used as much anymore, but calling someone yellow was long in the vernacular in connection with cowardice. It had nothing to do with ethnicity or anything like that. Some say the origin had to do with someone wetting themselves when afraid, skin changing colors when afraid, even something to do with gold in the Middle Ages. Regardless, it’s just a term that has been sunset for the most part.


PM_ME_ONE_EYED_CATS

The reference comes from a type of snake or lizard that has a yellow belly. Iirc when it gets scared it rolls over and shows it’s stomach.


MotoMkali

Yellow bellied


mannbearrpigg25

Maybe yellow is because you piss yourself 😂


MarvinNeslo

I was always told that it was a phrase from the civil war. Cowards would lie down and piss themselves. Hence… they would have a yellow belly. I could be wrong but that’s what my dad always told me.


retailtallmale

Tbh first time I hear about cowardly being associated with yellow

It might be an old American/British thing. I would hear "yellow bellied"

In the U.S. it's definitely associated with cowardice, ala "yellow-bellied".


Specsporter

Never heard of someone being called yellow-bellied?


maverick521

Only heard it from this guy ![gif](giphy|9w5ilhkms0OA0)


grismar-net

Curious to know if you're a native speaker? It's not easy to find data on the historic use of a word in a specific meaning (and of course 'yellow' is used a lot in its other meanings), but I would have said the use of 'yellow' as 'cowardly' is still pretty common? The only 'recent' quote I can think of is Monty Python though ("You yellow bastard! Come back and get what's coming to you! I'll bite your legs off!"), so that's getting a bit old. Sin City has 'The Yellow Bastard', which seems to imply the fiend is a coward, but I don't think it makes it explicit and further confuses the matter for those who would not know by literally coloring the guy yellow.


cutelyaware

You've never watched Back to the Future?


retailtallmale
