Communists, pejoratively

Usage examples of reds.

A pair of Reds stood on one of the arching pond bridges, leaning on the lacy stone railing and watching her and the fish swirling below them in a flurry of red and gold and white.

Glancing at the two Reds, who appeared to be paying more mind now to the fish than Egwene, she stepped closer, inviting lowered voices.

The two Reds who had been watching over her sleep gave her her forkroot, frowning at Doesine, and hurried away.

They knew the necessity of the work, however much they might resent it-no sister could like having to labor in that fashion: the Reds doing most of it certainly grumbled enough-but the order had come from Elaida, and these days, that resulted in foot-dragging.

Whites were bright as fresh-fallen snow, yellow shone like gold, reds turned to flame, but the shadows were so black thev looked like holes in the world.

Nearer and nearer it came, bobbing to the rise and fall of each wavelet with the last icy sunlight touching it up with reds and golds, nearer and nearer in the deadly hush of that forsaken region, and then at last so near it showed quite plainly on the purple water, a raft with some one sitting under a canopy.

It took only a couple of fire arrows and pretty soon some tribe of Reds would have themselves a string of half-charred scalps to sell to the French in Detroit.

Most of those kegs sloshed with whisky, which was about the only musical sound them Reds understood.

Hooch Palmer knew, so they about filled their trousers first time they saw them Reds with fire arrows.

Red, Hooch always said, and the way he and Bill Harrison had things going now, they had them Reds dying of likker at a good clip, and paying for the privilege along the way.

Hooch noticed that besides the normal complement of soldiers on guard and officers doing paperwork, there were several Reds sprawling or sitting in the headquarters building.

Even the other Reds made fun of him, he was so bad, a real lickspittle.

I had to hang three Reds for breaking into military stores, and even my soldiers ran out!

They have Cherriky men acting as clerks and even holding government offices in Appalachee, right in the capital, jobs that White men ought to have, and then I come here and find you keep Reds around you, too.

Ta-Kumsaw said it without cracking a smile, but Hooch had traded with the Reds enough to know their kind of joke.
