In Response To: POLISH PRIME (Daniel Murphy)

Thanks for pointing out the 'Polish jokes' background. I don't think anyone here has the intention of promoting any stereotype that would equate Polish with dumb. For me it is a descriptive term probably helped it its use by alliteration. Other descriptive terms, not used to stereotype a group of people: Russian roulette, French fries, a Chinese wall, Sicilian defense, a Dutch concert, and the list goes on and on.

In any case, fine to drop the use. It is easy to use another phrase that is easy to understand, say a blot-prime. Or call it a Dutch prime.
