Annoying words and phrasesMarketing bollocks, buzzword bingo, or your mum saying "fudge" when she really wants to swear like a trooper. Let's ride the hockey stick curve of this top hat product, solutioneers.
Thanks to simbosan for the idea

no no nono.
the word eskimo is actually a derrivation of the Montagnais word assime·w meaning 'she laces a snowshoe' - the eaters of raw meat thing has been generally considered to be bullshit.
Inuit is a term that can be used for the indiginous people of Canada and Greenland, whereas Eskimo refers to these peoples, plus those of Alaska and Siberia. They're not the same thing.
It's all about intent, and if you're using the terms in a derogatory way, then you're being a cunt. if not, then you're not.
