Talk:Peon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've seen it used in English to include someone of such low rank that someone can "pee on" them. I'm sure there are media references somewhere. See urban dictionary. Anomo 05:50, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Janitor

In India the word peon is universally and exclusively used to refer to a janitor. Is this usage not prevalent anywhere else? Amit@Talk 09:29, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Warcraft

Surely the Warcraft reference is not important enough for this article? Wjousts (talk) 18:49, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Peonage as German Propaganda

You should note that peonage was not eliminated in the southern states until the late 1930s when FDR and his cabinet were fearful that Germany (Hitler) would make an issue of it in retaliation for US criticism of Hitler's anti-antisemitic and Aryan supremacy propaganda. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.253.165.30 (talk) 14:49, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
