This business has a ton of signs that are sexually suggestive. But it's just hot dogs.

My favorite place to get pancakes when I was a kid was Sambo’s. They had a big tiger mascot. It grew into a medium sized chain (1100 locations) and then was shut down due to the racist perceptions.

Turns out that the name was a combination of the two founders’ names Sam B and Newell Bohnett. They adopted the Sambo story from an Indian fable.

My very first “real” job was as a dishwasher at Sambo’s.  :-)

Both of my kids were home for the holidays.  We ordered pizza from the newer pizza place close to us.     It's name is Guido's.  Both of my kids who are in their 30s were horrified and said that was a racist name for a pizza place.  I had never given it a thought.   I had to google it:

Guido /ˈɡwiːdoʊ/ is a North American slang term, often derogatory, for a working-class urban Italian American. The guido stereotype is multi-faceted. Originally, it was used as a demeaning term for Italian Americans in general.

 

 

Obviously they have never heard of Father Guido Sarduuci........😀

that's like the story of Bigby Coffee, it started out as Beaner's Coffee. They changed the company name when the founders were informed that beaner is an ethnic slur towards Mexicans.

It comes from this. 

 

It is still used in a derogatory way often.

      My Swing (Gestate0560)

      By iacas · Posted

      Yes, because you have lifted to like 120° without bending the left elbow. So when you turn and the left elbow bends… it bends in such a way that you then lower your left humerus and pull the club around you.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 3 (23 Jun 26) - Grandson put in to play this morning when he arrived at the house.  He wanted to play a full 18 from the "purple" tees (these are custom tees that play shorter than our gold but longer than the red) in a best (super) ball duet.  Was a great day working on course management - seeing him play well (for a 10yr old) - for example, hole 12 has a temp green about 100 yds from the tee box, he hits a solid 8i to 4' pin high and nails a birdie putt.  Could have never been prouder.  These are the moments grandfathers dream of - and hopefully the memories he will recall when his day comes to be Paw-paw for his grandson....may the game live on.

      My Swing (Gestate0560)

      By gestate0560 · Posted

      Posted a couple swings here. I think my attempt to blend the movement still results in a more “around” back swing?
