Just a general announcement that I will be turning myself black for the reminder of the day.

That is all.

@TheAbbotTrithemius

I was thinking about turning into a Pacific Islander.

Fijians are pretty chill. Must be the kava.

@mcfate

Duly noted. 🌴

@TheAbbotTrithemius

Turning Japanese would only get me MORE scolding about how I "speak like a kindergartener".

When you're bad at Japanese, they tell you how good you are at it.

When you get better, they immediately start telling you how BAD you are at it.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@TheAbbotTrithemius

I got scolded by a coworker for saying "Arigatō" to a cashier in a Starbucks.

"You ONLY need to say DŌMŌ!"

@mcfate

The French will eyeroll you like you just gave them a headache if you’re French is GOOD or BAD.

@TheAbbotTrithemius

Oh, the French talk even WORSE smack about native-French-speaking people from Nice and Cannes.

You should HEAR the smack they talk about BELGIANS.

@mcfate

You should SEE the bemused dismissiveness Belgians have for the French. Really satisfying.

@TheAbbotTrithemius

I've seen it. "Ces français idiots-la!"

"Those wacky French people!"

@mcfate @TheAbbotTrithemius

can confirm 😄

@BLuOXide @TheAbbotTrithemius

Ask a Parisian what they think about Québeçois, and take three big steps backwards.

@mcfate @TheAbbotTrithemius

or vice-versa 🤣

the Quebec city VS Montreal ''sentiment'' is hilarious too

(when they both had a hockey team ....oh boy 😆 )

@BLuOXide @mcfate

It amazed me how infuriatingly impenetrable Quebecois is…
