    As far as insults go, it's a bit **** to be honest and the only time I've heard it is from the sort of annoying runt that thinks he's really "big" dishing out insults whilst hiding behind his big mate.

    I assumed from the thread title that this was about a new campaign to label tanning "racial appropriation" or something like that :pac:

    Was it a generational thing? I've never called someone a tan, or heard of anyone being called a tan.

    I believe so yeah.

    I'm 31. Anyone who has used that phrase has been around my age now that I think about it.

    Never heard it from someone older or younger by +- 5 years.

    I can't get my head around people that get offended by words

    I don't really think anyone would be that offended since it's such a stupid thing to say. If I heard it, I'd just think the person who said it was a complete arsebandit.

    You would have been a few years behind me in school. Strange that I never heard it.
