[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Though of course putting nasty messages on a message board is dumb, I will attempt to divine the angry writer's true intent![/b] [b]snowflake:[/b] metaphor for referring to one's child as singularly talented, as unique as a snowflake. ([b]probably not [/b]actually referring to the race of the writer or his or her child as the color of a snowflake, i.e., [b]very pale[/b].) [b]gt:[/b] gifted & talented, probably once again a reference to people who believe their children are very, very special. ([b]probably not [/b]a reference to [b]Georgetown[/b], which is known to have a high population of high-falutin' people.) [/quote] I agree. Not racial (although I initially considered this) but I think most people use it as: SNOWFLAKE = DELICATE to the point that if extreme protection is not given, it will disentegrate. I'm AA and my SIL treats her kids like snowflakes :roll:.[/quote]
