some news article about Sotomayer or such...you're just a trigger,
m'boy. ^_^;

Then it is OK, I might have read it as if I was a racist. Good to know
that I should not read it that way.

Interesting phrase. Normally only used if the one who says it is either
much older (and you clearly aren't) or if there is another big status
difference like between slave and slaveholder. So I'll file this as a
humorous instance of the latter.

See also: "Dang whippersnappers!" and "Kids these days. Why, when *I*
was your age, *mumble mumble* through six feet of snow! Uphill! Both
ways!"
...so more of a humourous, plainly wildly innacurate instance of the
former, poking fun at the curmudgeonly attitude of a stereotypical old
person.

Ok that leaves the quite inaccurate age problem. If I was a woman I
might be honoured.

Somewhat related to some discussions here (I am too lazy to find the
right spot). In
http://www.ted.com/talks/nina_jablonski_breaks_the_illusion_of_skin_color.html
Nina Jablonski refers to Obama as the: 'first moderately pigmented
President of the USA' (at 12:15).
