What's Classy If You're American But Trashy If You're European?
October 26, 2017
Alex Henderson, Periodista and Technical Writer
‘Murican: “I only speak English. I am deeply offended that a waiter in Rome spoke to me in Italian. How dare he! Everyone in Europe should speak perfect English, and without any trace of a non-U.S. accent.”
Dutch: “I speak four languages. Dutch is my native language, but I am also fluent in English, German and French. When I find the time, I would like to learn a fifth language and a sixth. Perhaps I can take some Spanish lessons this summer.”
‘Murican: “American football is the only sport that matters. What is Real Madrid? Is Manchester United the name of a political party?”
European: “Real football, or as Americans call it, soccer, is the world’s #1 sport. But I also enjoy rugby.”
‘Murican: “The Olive Garden is the ultimate Italian restaurant.”
Italian: “Che stupidaggine! I wouldn’t feed Olive Garden food to my dog because I don’t believe in cruelty to animals.”
