This has just reminded when of when Wayne Hennessey did a Hitler salute at a German team mate and got away with it cos he claimed he didn't know what a Nazi was

Oh fuck off
So what if he called it a holocaust. It's a word. It can be used to describe many things. A holocaust is obvs v different to the holocaust.

People exaggerate all the time - big deal.
Is exaggeration now antisemitic too?
People need to be careful with their words, where did I suggest Shay Given is antisemitic?

Seriously - why do you think he needed to be careful there?

I don't think any of those meanings is 'When your first week at work doesn't go very well', and claiming you didn't know what the word means at almost 50 years old is embarrassingly pathetic.

The word holocaust isn't reserved for the Shoah. It wasn't specifically coined to describe it. It was in use beforehand & will be for years & we all exaggerate or is that not allowed now either?

I didn't say it was reserved for the Shoah. I said it's not generally used to describe having a crap week at work.
Why are you so Hell bent on defending a 49-year-old man claiming he didn't know what the word meant? It's very tedious.

First came suppression of the slogan from the river to the sea, then came suppression of I support palestine action & now you are castigated & forced to issue a public apology for using the word holocaust. Insidious & intentional.
