Crikey that brings back memories. There was a kid at our school called 'Tefal' and I'm sure I was as guilty as anyone else in using the term 'Joey' as derogatory term.
I find it a bit odd that the tongue-between-teeth-and-lower-lip fuelled 'urrrr', that used to accompany the calling someone a 'joey' or a 'spakka', seems to have made a comeback. Thankfully not the slapping of a limp left hand with the right hand (or was that just a blackpool thing?).
