You are all pop-culturally challenged. I'm dismayed by JL's silence on this matter.

The Web site David posted redirects from "Argies" to "Argentina." Obviously they are not trucking in what they perceive to be pejoratives.
Strictly speaking, it says that the word "Argies" is not available in the dictionary--a hint that some might find it to be a pejorative--but the link to the nearest available term in the encyclopedia gets you to Argentina.
