What questionable same-sex attraction is this!? --Kels (talk) 04:43, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

The phrase "New Mexican Green Chili" sends shivers down my spine worse than any nail on any black board. It is Chile people Chile. tmtoulouse 05:29, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
I was under the understanding that chili was the dish (and thus the powder) while Chile was the country. --Kels (talk) 05:41, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
Chili is some crap they make in Texas with left over cow. Chile is a specific plant/fruiting body, that can be part of a chile sauce, or chile powder, or chopped chile, frozen chile, or anything else. Really the green and red chile of New Mexico is specific to a small region in the Rio Grande Valley. It is the most addictive substance ever created, but often makes life worth living. tmtoulouse 05:45, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
Just to confuse matters, the plant is chilli over here. Chile is just the country. Totnesmartin (talk) 07:58, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

"You could also find a woman with unshaven armpits and ask her where she buys food."[edit]

Um, sexist much? My partner don't shave her pits, that says nothing about her culinary habits. RaoulDuke 00:54, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Does she like chile/chili? ħumanUser talk:Human 01:17, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
Not especially. RaoulDuke 01:21, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
I was quoting Human, though I don't view it as sexist. It has nothing to do with women per se. The reference might as well have been to a "follow someone wearing a tie died shirt because it's an artless reference to hippies liking chiles. I'd be happy to change it if your objection extends past the knee jerk range. Nutty Roux100x100 anarchy symbol.svg 01:37, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
It is pretty much a knee-jerk reaction, but one based on a long history of someone that I love very much having all kinds of assumptions/comments made about her, many of them quite hateful, all because of a simple preference in her grooming regimen. RaoulDuke 01:47, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
Wish I hadn't read this thread. AceMcWicked 02:21, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
I huff hairy ladypits of all sorts. I don't hate them. I love them and all my assumptions about them are lovely. I was referring to the hippy predilection for hirsuteness, which is admittedly a liberal bias. I didn't mean to offend you. I will edit the article to reflect your sensitivity for the sensitivity of women with unshaven armpits toward references to their furry upper-ladyparts.

largely defensive weapon of chili powder[edit]

This article jus got a namecheck at defensesprays.com, without mentioning defensive uses at all. How odd. Totnesmartin (talk) 19:41, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

I am well-pleased. Thanks for the headsup Martin. Nutty Roux (talk) 20:20, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
this is why I like the "recent updates" option on google. Totnesmartin (talk) 07:27, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
