Here. Leave the Chav riots thread alone. This discussion has to be one of the most boring I have ever read in my life, so I want it quarantined where I won't see it.
Shut up, you paprika-gushing Hun.
hungarian = gypsy, FYI
:P
Large groups of Hungarians are called "tank obstacles" in Russian.

According to the U.S. definitions. I don't mind it, since it allows me to claim Hispanic origins, although oddly I'm not allowed to claim to Cherokee origins. Of course, by any sane measure, I'm British.

Not Portuguese (so far as I am aware--there probably actually is, given that I have several million ancestors between the formation of the Portuguese people and today). But my last name's an anglicized version of a Spanish name.
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.

:rolleyes: I'm tempted to do that for my kids sometimes, just to screw with that ridiculous designation and to take money away from the affirmative action initiatives that use it. But my conscience won't let me.

What does conscience have to do with it? It's like feeling bad because you truthfully claimed a tax deduction.

Because I think the "hispanic" designation is absolute bullshit. Ditto for affirmative action and other types of programs that favor one race/ethnicity over others.
Derspeiss disadvantages own children for ideological purposes. How unsurprising.

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.

Don't tread on Siegy :angry:
I googled Shelley's heir and had it ask me if I meant Shelley's hair. :unsure:

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.
Shelley, Percy Bysshe, poet. Bridegroom of Frankenstein, if you will. Philistines. :rolleyes:

Not many spaniards here (hispanics here come from the SA). but the italian and portuguese communities are usually next to each other in cities and they do the same jobs (men in contruction, women clean houses or are princesses). So they hate each otehr lol

I know who he is, was curious what special significance Viking was giving to the phrase. I just assumed it meant "oh you're a great poet" (with tongue in cheek of course).
At any rate, it is the members of Metallica and not Siege who should get credit for those particular lines.
Now I thought it was all Siegey's own work, I'm disappointed now.
Though there was no particularly cutting intent to the comment, I have come to appreciate Siege over the years :cool:
