Honestly, I gave this thread half a second of thought and, despite the reflexive gagging, I have to agree with lolgaxe. I'm a New Yorker, part of the greatest nation in the world, and there's no improving on perfection.


I rarely get mistaken for a New Yorker. Smiley: frown


I've told you. I get mistaken for German everywhere I go, even Boston.


We should go to Texas together.

I'd be Niuean. Then everyone would say "WTF is a Niuean?" Then me and my fellow Niueans would laugh and laugh and laugh.

It's really hard to go to Niue as a tourist. And it's an island. That's about all I know about that country.

No, no, you see, most Americans I meet (in Germany nonetheless) just assume I'm English. We could have a lot of fun, you being German and me English. We could sell crumpets and wurst!

Australian accent is harsh and obnoxious. New zealand accent is it's mild and friendly sister. Irish accent is just pure win. (Not cork or kerry or extreme Dublin accent, but generic Irish)

Although I can tell the difference between Kiwi and Aussie accents, it's negligible to me.

Really ? I didn't know that - whats the reasoning behind it, do you know ?

Not so much a different nationality, since I'm part chinese anyway, but I'd love to have been born over there, experience it and learn the language . Also, the benefits of being born there would mean that my annoying little brother would never have been born what with the one child rule .

Actually, he probably would have, and I'd have been dumped on a hill and eaten by something . Or raised by wolves --- being raised by wolves would be awesome.

I had a Russian professor with long black hair and long eyelashes in short dresses who was Polish but grew up in Switzerland. She would look at us with utter consternation and say, "The problem with you [American] students is that you know nothing of culture. You've never even read Baudelaire."

I read Fleurs du Mal. Quelle snooze.
