Any immigrants at all who are part of any kunta's elected official in the docks? I think not...

Well Helsinki for sure has Zahra Abdulla on the Green docket. To (in)balance Tony Halme
And she got in when I was living there and thats a long time ago.

Out here in the Hundred county, a chap I know served his time as a local councillor, he does hold a Finnish passport, obtained IIRC in pre-EU days in order to buy a house.

Anyway the idea of somebody moving to "the bundocks" is automatically a "boondocker" is flawed, I moved to the arse end of nowhere (pop. 76,000) due to my job, I seem to have little in common with the parochial locals and need to escape at least 3 times per year to preserve sanity. I think the reverse is also true... you could transplant raamv into a metropolis like London, NY or Helsinki (stifled laugh) ... and he'd still come across like a sheep-shagger.

Posted from the Boondocks :-

To recap, my grumble was that many (not all) of the HKI immigrant set, a. don't even think that people live outside the wolf fence, and, b. seem to sometimes be looking down their nose at anyone who does:

Take raamv for example, he sells himself on here as a bright lad, always handing out advice. Which makes me think he's also bright enough to know the true meaning behind the word "boondocks", which he insists on using to describe us lot outside the wire:

It derives from the Tagalog word "bundok", meaning "mountain". It also carries the implication that it is "backward" or "unsophisticated"; hence taga-bundok "people who live in the hinterland": i.e., people who are backward or unsophisticated.

And that, my friends, just about sums up the impression I sometimes get, and what probably sparked my initial remark to Pen's original post.

To me boondocks meant living in the country side and was not a derogatory or insulting term, so checked with another Brit then went to the Wiki and the next line in the link which was not included in the post reads :-

Boondocks or diminutively "the boonies" has since evolved into a more general American slang term for "the country" or any rural/wilderness location in general, regardless of topography or vegetation that is isolated and away from "the action" or the comforts and variety of urban life.

You could at least use a proper source.

the boondocks
plural noun US DISAPPROVING
any area in the country that is quiet, has few people living in it, and is a long way away from a town or city

Not nearly as -negative for the teuchters...

There is more to a word than a dictionary definition. The way, manner or context in which it may have been used can say much more about its intended meaning. After all, why would anyone, anywhere, bother to get offended by a word if they hadn't experienced a negative feeling from it. Just for fun?
