In the UK, the term Paki has been used for a long time to insult not just Pakistanis but generally people from the Indian sub-continent. So, calling a Pakistani Paki would be offensive.

On another note, England and Pakistan don't equate; Britain and Pakistan do. You can compare England to Punjab if you want.

IS paki a nasty word?

No! Paki is not a nasty word. It is not a nasty word because it means pure and hygienic. Someone called me a Paki the other day and i said thanks. They had a real shock but they are calling me pure so i turned around and says "do you have a bath?" They says "yes" , I just said to them in their face "well you're a Paki to".The word 'Paki' is a collective name for a group of people. it is analogous to 'Spanish' or 'Japanese'. However though its origins are acceptable the word is no-longer in general use. This is because some people use it in a derogatory manner. Nowadays the term is considered racist. The politicly correct term of a person from Pakistan is now 'Pakistanian'.if paki is a nasty word then all the following are to:brityankruskiscotchinkand there are loads more, paki is just a shortened word for pakistani. if a paki called me a brit then id say thanks because im proud and patriotic about being a brit.I totally agree that 'paki' is just a word meaning 'person form (or with heritage in) Pakistan'. However it is not used any more because some people have used it as a derogatory, racist term to refer to anybody form South Asia. Hence some people take offence to being called by it and 'Pakistanian' is now preferred.If 'brit' and 'yank' were used in the same way then they too would fall out of popular use just because people don't want to be impolite.And 'chink' is an offensive word.
