Yes Peter, "defrocked" is a derogatory term both to the indiviudal and to the
institution the person belongs.
If incorrect, one may even call the accusation "libelous".
With a name like Peter, I thought you would know that!:=))

Cheap shot, Gilbert. I think YOU need to apologise.

When Manoj, a Hindu Goan, first used the term Kokno
recently, he used it to refer to himself. He was not

Without reference to the individual you refer in your post, yet excluding no

I would like to know where Gilbert found a Portuguese reference to
"cancanos". As far as I know, they used to call the Hindus "gentios".

I guess that means that you think it is OK to be
derogatory towards Hindus, and point to someone else's
bad behavior to justify your own?

If you take the word "Konkno" out of the Konkani
vocabulary, I'd be interested to know what you would
replace it by. Hindu? There are many bigoted minds in

derogatory manner. I think instead o

Manoj Raikar, who first used this term in this current

From my reading of his post, he was not complaining

In theory, the word "Konknno" means "from the Konkan".

In theory, the word "Konknno" means "from the Konkan". So the term should apply
for all of us. But that's not the way it works.
In reality, a number of Konkani words have strong pejorative, class, or
demeaning connotations. For instance: poder (not just a baker), Gaudo (I've
