It's not something I use on P.ie, I think it's very strong and refers to a period in history best to be forgotten. Obviously, it is still used widely by the public to label Fine Gael supporters. However, is it time it was outlawed or is it simply 'a term of endearment'?
Fine Gael's new party slogan :Er, what year was that? Circumstances have, you know, changed a bit.
You know you are winning the argument when the blue short name gets mentioned
Its a badge of honour.

The ACA or what they became were one of the groups that became FG so as long as its not being used as a direct nazi type slur i am ok with it.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. Sir Winston Churchill
What's the history behind it...? (for the benefit of the thread anyway!)
I don't see it as derogatory - it's in the same class as FFer, Shinnerbot, ABFF and so on as far as I'm concerned.

As a term of contempt for ex-Shinners with a xenophobic party name it's a superb label. That said I'd like to see them try and outlaw it just for the hilarity that would ensue.
