"Jappies" is a deliberate corruption of the term "jaapies" which dutch South Africans call themselves much like NZers call themselves "kiwis". This is a dig at my South African friends for beating us in the rugby world cup final of 1995. I did check and it is not offensive to them. For the record, I do not harbour hatred for any people in the world. It is wearing a bit thin though (six years is a long time for bitter memories of a sporting event) so I will change my sig file. enjoy it here for the last time! -- Die Jappies Die!
