So who is one lone dissenting vote?...lol.
The use of "Canuck" is similar to the use of some other potentially offensive nicknames. When it is used by the people it names — Canadians in this case — it is usually acceptable. But when it is used by an outsider — in this case particularly Americans — it can be thought of as insulting one's heritage. Although it is not as severe as most ethnic slurs, some consider it one - just as Yankee can be
Well then, **** the Canooks!.
I don't think anyone here is trying to insult the team by calling them a Canuck. That's just their team name. I don't really see what you're getting at.
