Blink Blink? Squaw wasn't actually french language when last I heard it's origin.... more that it was a translation error of a local tribe when white man came to trade. In the corse of trying to learn the other's language, they were trying to find the native word for woman/wife. There were several failed attempts at communicating what they were trying to say and the one that finally stuck was something of a vulgar gesturing regarding sex and if I'm not loosing my mind, it was actually for the part of the male anatomy that was involved.... but the white man never seemed to figure it out. Though this could be a wives tale told to us by our instructor.... my east coast indian history is off a bit.... grew up on cherokee land, so we didn't cover much of the north east North Americas. Either way, generally a good idea not to use the word Squaw around someone who would take offense at being called a 'dyke' or a 'b*tch' or a 'ho''.... saves further upset from the PC and those who might actually be able to translate it ;) Lil'fox
