Dublin's Q102
By Eamonn Falvey
The word "culchie" could be banned from Scrabble as it may be seen as "derogatory".
Mattel, who make the classic word game, are due to publish a new list of 400 banned words - in an effort to make the game more politically correct.
Ed Miliano, who runs a scrabble club in Dublin, said he is in the minority among game players who believe that derogatory words should be removed - but thinks banning the word ‘culchie’ is “mistaken”.
British author Darryl Francis resigned from the World English-Language Scrabble Players Association (WESPA) because he said Mattel had forced the changes on the game.
