No. You go visit the war memorial at Dachau, then tell me it has no link. Age has nothing to do with it. Show some respect.
seriously mate its a totally different reference and your making drama where there isn't any.

Are all Americans (and Aussies, South Africans basically all English speakers other than us) Evil for calling petrol Gas.

It's nothing about concentration camps, it about running out of fuel.
Are we looking to ban the word "gas" now, in case someone somehow links it to atrocities from 80 years ago?
What are many countries going to call petrol? Plus there will be a lot of confused scientists and teachers.

Sorry buddy you have got this one completely wrong. It’s an American-ism referring to petrol (they call it gas).

Means the same as when someone says they have run out of steam.

Outraged for the sake of being outraged. Others have said what "gassed' means. Lots of things have different meaning dependant on context, stop being cantankerous and obtuse.

youve got this one wrong

Listen to what everyone else is saying.

No one - literally no one in this discussion is looking to disrespect those who died in the holocaust.

You’re the only one trying to make the link between the two.

Take it easy

That’s not what it means.
It means being hyped or over inflated about something.
It’s got absolutely no link to concentration camps or anything related.
So don’t worry- fortunately the youth of today have moved on. If you were down with the kids you’d know this, but I guess your username checks out

Go and listen to dizzee rascal ‘don’t gas me’ for better context

Is there some alternative to listening to Dizzee Rascal? I'd rather do time in Broadmoor than listen to that shit.

Hey, my kids love 'Bonkers'!
To be fair, although I'm much more of a 90's hip-hop fan, that is quite a good tune.

Anyhoo, I thought it was the younger generations that got offended by anything and everything? Seems like the old gimmers are just as bad. ??

I only get offended by stuff that is genuinely offensive, or, in Dizzee Rascal's case, shit.

Just so you know, Aussies call petrol 'petrol'.
And I too am old but understood what was meant and it was totally inoffensive.

Does anyone have that clip of Agbonlahor recently on talksport saying that Arsenal would have top 4 wrapped up and Spurs would be scrapping for 8? There's a lot of competition but he's surely the biggest clown on that channel

My wife met him and thinks he’s one of the dumbest people she’s ever met. And she’s a Villa fan.

I don't think the Brummie accent or the underbite do him any favours, but aside from that, he is dumb as a bag of spanners.
