OoopsI was at a very posh dinner party in Kensington with my new girlfriend and all of her incredibly snooty pals. One lad was dying for a ciggie so I galantly offered to 'run round to the Pakis and pick up 40 Malboro Lights'. The fact I'm of asian extraction myself and from Glasgow where the term is used in an offhand way, did nothing to detract from the embarrassed silence which ensued or the telling off I got later from my g/f.
