[Opinions] Re: Pigeon
in reply to a message by Canielle
At best, it's a babyish-sounding nn like Pumpkin or Ladybug.
At worst, well, it calls the bird to mind. Yes, I know, doves are the same as pigeons, but doves get much better PR. Pigeons have the reputation of being dirty, messy nuisances. Flying rats, I believe is the usual term. (I don't find them as nasty as seagulls though. God, I hate seagulls.)
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
