Aye. After Asia, I don't think there is a more diverse continent than Europe.

This isn't directed at you in any way, but I think it's rather funny how people from different continents talk about "europeans". My Australian roommates were always saying stuff like "that's so european" or "that jeans is so european".

What the fuck does that even mean?
european in the US is euphemism for gay when it comes to fashion, for everything else it's for eurotrash. Either case it's never positive.

I actually came across that when I was in the USA. A girl who didn't like me very much said "you totally don't deserve to be European". Confounded me a bit.
I've heard that before as well. Being European at times can be some sort of privilege it seems.

My Australian roommates seem to mistake European with cute as well. "Look at that house, it's so European". I've heard them say it at least five times and I never got it. It's in Europe, so yes, the house is European.

Yeah, that's what I think as well. I do not have the same background as my Spanish, French and Italian friends.

These two seem to conflict a bit. The eurotrash thing seems silly. Not to mention that some of the Americans in Bologna were a wee bit racist. They organised a eurotrash day and all dressed badly while crying out: "look, I'm dressed up as eurotrash and no one even knows we're just screwing with them, because this is what they all look like". We didn't and they looked pretty ridiculous on the bus.

It's just a bunch of nonsense. Some people even use that "European" stuff as a synonym for homosexuality, as they equate those jeans with "gay" because it's different.

And what is their usual attire?

Andries, you should just shut the fuck up while you're ahead. Unless you are now getting paid to be a penis sucker, then you really have nothing to add. So what, someone calls a house "European" and your world crashes? If you've never left the continent then I suppose it is understandable that you are unaware that European architecture differs greatly from that of Australia. You should be able to figure that out, Mr. Teen Anxst.

Man, I usually have a good experience at - Butt Fuck Shoppe whenever I'm in Dangzhou. But damn - the last time I was there, well, I don't know what to say. Weird stuff at a Butt Fuck Shoppe.


Next time I'm going to Badass Devil's Jewish Butt Fuck Palace.

I feel like I need to vent. ...
:lol: Must be the Saturday night alcohol, but I just made the connection between these subsequent posts. But that probably wasn't intentional... ;)

Thank you, Señor Canardo. Before I saw your post, I was going to type "gay". Accurate or not, that's the euphemism here. If someone said "those jeans are so European" around here, the general assumption would be that a certain Señor Derrick is probing your Panucci hole for petroleum reserves.

As for "Eurotrash", you never know. One of my Desi friends introduced me to one of his best friends from UC Santa Cruz -- and she had just come off a long tour of duty in the Israeli military service. We're about to take her to a café, for which she wants a description of the place. We both said "Eurotrash" almost in harmony.

To which she honestly responded, "Cool. I love Eurotrash!" :confused:

So I guess that all depends.

1) I have left the continent before. And well, yes, I suppose one could say European architecture differs from the one you see in Zambia.

2) Italian architecture isn't the same as Belgian architecture.

But you lost sight of the fact that your mates are from Australia, not Zambia, and Australians think all of Europe looks like Bavaria at Christmas time.

Pado, how much will it take to get you to vote for the World's greatest patriot this fall... John "The Bane" McCain?
That won't happen. I'll vote for Obama but I don't buy his message of hope. The next U.S. president will have to sort through the worst economy since the Great Depression and as a result will only be a one-term president. I don't see much hope. I see gloom, doom, and . . . BLOOM!
