Traveller's Café: Discussion, brainstorming & advice

[Agritum]

If Southerners are Dixies...Northeners are Masons?

Dixies? Masons? I really need to get my hand on American slang.

I always knew that Nat was in with the Illuminati.

Those conspirators!

The term "Dixie" comes from the geographical Mason-Dixon line which traditionally defines the North and South of the Continental United States. Though, interestingly, Northerners are called Yankees instead of Masons. Puzzling.

Yankee actually originally referred to everyone in the US. Hell, Benedict Arnold even fought a guy because he used the world derogatorily.

Eh, anything about America is a puzzle to me and my brain.

Is cowboy a common term for Americans outside of the US?

You may think that Europeans like me would be less puzzled about American lifestyle than you Asians.

You're wrong.

Being gay is a choice, but being fat isn't.

[Agritum]

Is cowboy a common term for Americans outside of the US?

No.

Pretty common stereotype, though.

Granted, the most common one, at least in Italy, is the one seeing Americans as a nation of obese rednecks who shot at everyone they encounter with their personal assault rifle. That, or blonde buxom chicks.

No.

The former is becoming all too common; the latter, not so much.

Perhaps, in the older times, when the Chinese visited American in Once Upon a Time in China 5.

You're wrong.

Isn't it the same? British and Americans?

I'm not fat, but at least I still don't have a girlfriend.

The latter is omni-present in Japanese works, still.

Saying that the Brits and the Americans are the same is like saying that there isn't much difference between Spain and Italy.

Americans here are viewed quite positively, if considered a bit dim (because we hold that view for all whites).

I'm an American, and even I'm confused about the American lifestyle

And so the ice breaks. Mind giving why?

Don't you love everyone except for the Pakistani, the Chinese, the Bangladeshi and the Japanese?

Because there is no one American lifestyle.

Because you are very lenient about your education and child upbringing.

I still won't forgive you for the American-born blight known as "Bologna sausage".

Spain and Italy is same. They both come from Europe.

Seriously? You don't come blazing your guns with each other?

Indonesian too.

True dat. We do span an area the size of Western Europe and descend from at least three different cultures.

[Agritum]

That's EXACTLY the same reason for why some Europeans think of Americans as barbarians.

Exactly.

On a completely off topic note, I decided to check out a logic book and a book on Internet piracy from the library today for whatever reason.

We still have a chip on the shoulder regarding the British and the Portuguese. And we like the Japanese. We hate Australians in cricket season.

Really? I consider the Europeans even more lenient.

Spaghetti!

Because there is no one American lifestyle.

True dat. We do span an area the size of Western Europe and descend from at least three different cultures.

Let's see. Spanish, British, and Dutch cultures?

Uh-huh.
