Driver, passenger, you know...
 
 
Not sure if most know that the term "paki" has a very negative connotation we should avoid using it in the future.

Pronunciation
IPA: /ˈpæki/
Rhymes: -æki
Noun
Paki (plural Pakis)
(UK, Canada, Australia, offensive, ethnic slur) A Pakistani
(UK, Canada, Australia, offensive, ethnic slur) Anyone whose origins are perceived to be from South Asia/the Indian subcontinent.
Usage notes
Paki acquired offensive connotations in the 1960s when used by British tabloids to refer to subjects of former colony states in a derogatory and racist manner. In modern British usage "Paki" is typically a derogatory label used for all South Asians, including Indians, Afghans and Bangladeshis. To a lesser extent, it has also been applied to Arabs and others perceived to resemble South Asians. During the 60's many emigrants were also dubbed as "black" to further segregate them from the white community. Some would say such a division still exists in parts of England.
In recent times there has been a trend by second and third-generation British Pakistanis to reclaim the word, so that it can be used between young British Pakistanis, but not by outsiders, even Indians and Bangladeshis.

I had no idea, agree that we need to be sensitive to derogatory terms. But, in this case, it is the "brand" name chosen by the maker of the parts, ehsankiani, who lives in Islamabad Pakistan. Has been the common term/name for those parts for at least 10yrs.

I had no idea and was simply using the referenced name for the doors/top as I was told. No offense intended.
 
WTF? Geez, some people.
 
Hadn't seen that crack video, been trying for the no wheel lift line, success! :cool: Could have gone in even a bit straighter, maybe?

Daisey looked nervous! :lol:
