The meaning of the term Third World is different depending on the context. In a bureaucratic sense it has a very strict meaning, but more colloquially it's used as a derogatory to imply that a country is backward or almost savage in comparison to First World countries.
- ithkuil 6y agoyeah, mine was a long way to say that I felt insulted by using such a derogatory term for the country where live; insult our politician, fine; insult your own politicians, fine; don't drag the rest of the populace into that. All of the places listed are full of industrious people who live and work and enjoy their long healthy lives; I wish people would occasionally stop and think about what the words that get out of the mouths actually mean.
