Vaping Banned in Another 5 Countries

[smokinGAVIN]

You have to wonder if he'd ban vehicles if a relative lost his life in a car accident. It's got to be related to cigarette tax losses and lost kickbacks from somewhere. It's about the money ... it's almost always about the money.

It probably is about the money, then again, the president, and his actions don't really make sense to me.
He put his no smoking policy in place in his city when he was still a mayor. It was one of his campaign promises when he was running for president and enacted an executive order to make his smoking ban nationwide when he won.

I'm not quite sure I know what you're asking me. Sorry.

It seems it was an incredibly clumsy and ethnically slurring way to ask you if you were from the Philippines or an American.

How do you feel about being called a flip? How do other Filipino's like being called flips?
Im genuinely curious and mean no slight, denali_1 seems to think there is no problem with it.

I am dealing with a moment of truth here.

I am heading to Thailand for 2 weeks in about a month. I have no plans in trying to be lucky like I did going to Mexico City a few months ago.

Will it be gum, lozenges, or snus?

Im a flip.. and when people ask me where I'm originally from .. i say flip.. it's just short for Filipino.

It's an old military slangs... You know.. like G.I. Joe's. [emoji16]

It don't really think anything of it. I have never heard the word flip used in that context nor have I been ever called one. I also thought joe meant soldier. Short for G.I. Joe. I'm not sure how other Filipinos feel about it.

Not common in the PI unless you are near a heavy tourist area... mostly used here in the states..

Flip could also mean flipping from Filipino to American citizenship (me)

What does flip mean? flip Definition. Meaning of flip. OnlineSlangDictionary.com

WWII GI used the word (were most think it's originated).

Meaning has changed.. only the easily offended feels it's deragatory word.

Or a nicotine patch..

I am an American, but when I lived in the Philippines, I used to be called Cano-Cano sometimes (usually by my Filipina girlfriend) ... Or maybe it would be spelled Kano Kano.

Anyway, it didn't bother me at all .... I am thinking the "cano" had to do with "Americano"
