How do the Hungarians call the other peoples around them?  :hmm:

I mean, they got bossed around by Turks, Germans and Russians most of the time; surely they developed something in their language to refer to them.

"Master"?

Where's the dreams that I've been after?
Master, master
You promised only lies

Laughter, laughter
All I hear or see is laughter
Laughter, laughter
Laughing at my cries

I don't get the reference. Is it a Frankenstein reference or is it a reference to a trust preventing an idiot heir from squandering the fortune?

I think you're over thinking this, I'm guessing he's taking the mick out of Seigy.

No, I'm not overthinking it, I just googled Shelley's Heir, found the link to the generation skipping trust and I thought it might be related to Mary Shelley as well. I just don't know, that's why I asked. If the joke is that Siegy is a stupid as the skipped heir is supposed to be by the grandfather then I think it is a cunning and biting diss. But to be honest, dissing siegy is a bit like shooting fish in a barrel; and consequently unfair and cruel.

I googled Shelley's heir and had it ask me if I meant Shelley's hair. :unsure:

hungarian = gypsy, FYI

Yep. Also, Portuguese are called "hispanic".
ya, in canada portuguese don't have anything against the spanish. Go for the italian angle. They hate eachother here.

They're no true Portuguese then. Only Galegos of course and non-Castilians get a pass otherwise.
Iberian is fine since Hispanic does not mean much outside of the US.
