No, I'm not familiar with the phrase, my nose is reddish pink.
I looked it up on google but I don't understand what you're trying to say in this context.

I'm pretty sure you didn't look it up on Google either... The first 3 results explain it quite nicely.

TIL Cape Town is a province. Maybe even a province of the country of Africa.

Yah I know, Cape Town is a simple reference made by people outside of the Western Cape. For example, people visit Cape Town only to stay a day or two in Knysna, or they visit the mountain (Table Mountain) by going no further than Strand/Somerset West, even our tourism board has integrated Cape Town with near everything Western Cape.

I dont think you get lesbian transgendered Muslims, they would be killed. Unless they're living in your neighborhood.
Maybe you should apply at one of those restaurants, im there again in April. ;)

Why don't you just explain what you're trying to say here. Fulcrum29 asked Brown-nose? in response to me stating I am white and have not experienced racism in CT. Are you saying white people are brown noses? Or what? Or I am one because I don't experience racism towards me while all other white people apparently do? Or because I am against racism towards non-whites that means I'm sucking up to them? Seriously, I really don't know what you are trying to get at here other than just a basic ad-hominum attack.

Maybe you should Google the term again, dear. Brown-nosing can be applied to any race.

And please remove that massive chip on your shoulder - if someone has a racial problem with you, it's them with the problem. Inferiority complexes belong with the ANC, not you.

Allow me to repeat your own post:

I don't find CT intolerable, I'm white, so not subject to racism here, everything just works for me...

First Known Use: circa 1939

You are brownnosing on MyBroadband, seeking a bigger audience and their support in your topics. The name change may also indicate a prospected clean sheet to promote your motive. Tell me, you are white, no experience in Cape Town racism, so what is this everything that works in your perspective?

I'm certain that the larger MyB population is against racism, no need to seek the crown.

OK, thanks for the explanation.
I was just pointing out to Nerfherder though that life as a white person in cape town is not intolerable because he suggested I leave.
That's all.

I'm not brownnosing on MyBroadband, seeking a bigger audience, I'm actually just responding to a post.

Talk about spouting BS, seems you're the one brown-nosing by insulting me so you can get gold stars from the others in this thread.
Anyway since it's just ad-hominum insults you offer, I accept it's the last refuge of those who have nothing else to say.
