      It’s literally just a French word.

      The pretentiousness comes from the ones appropriating it. So go get impaled on a fucking chainsaw after jumping off a building for your racism against the French for simply existing, you absolutely numbfuckingly idiotic cretin.

        Yeah, there’s no need for the redundancy, really; if you say “French” you can omit “pretentious”, it’s already implied.

              “It’s literally just an American word.”

              Yeah, there’s no need for the redundancy, really; if you say “American” you can omit “fat fucks”, it’s already implied.

              Because you hypocrites would get just as mad at the reversal, idiot…

                I honestly feel a bit bad for you if you’re actually this mad about someone making a joke about stereotypes and not just trolling… For the record, I’m not American, and work in an international environment where people make jokes about my language and culture on the daily. Life gets a lot better when you don’t take yourself too seriously and just have fun with the quirks and stereotypes attached to your nationality.

                So I say again: y u so mad bro?

              Because stating true shit that happens in that country is xenophobic?

              How about when you buffoons started calling french fries freedom fries? Or had your president order McDonald’s in the white house? Or maybe that time you got indoctrinated to worship a flag as a kid, only to then watch as your classmates got shot to death because “muh guns”?

              Literally all of it happens, but god forbid the french use a word in their own fucking language. Go fuck yourself, fucking clown.

                  Then your country is twice as stupid as I thought, because you have a national holiday to French fries, and you called them French fries out of idiocy:

                  “Let us return for a moment to the horror of the First World War. Europe struggles under the occupation. British and American soldiers finally push back the Germans after a hard-fought battle in the trenches. A lot of hungry mouths to fill. At the Belgian front, the soldiers learn about chips. Due to the chaos and confusion, and because they hear French words being used all around them, they accidentally assume they are in France… Result: another adjective that will forever define the international image of our snack. ‘Tastes good, let’s call them ‘French Fries’ folks!’”

                  “Xenophobia is the fear or dislike of anything that is perceived as being foreign or strange.”

                  So you getting all up on my face about using a NORMAL word in MY language doesn’t qualify?

                  Yet stating REAL facts about YOUR country does?

                  I’ll admit I wasn’t aware American exceptionalism and self-delusional egocentrism went that far. Clowns all the way down.

                  Sidenote you’re too hypocritical to even grasp: The whataboutism begins when you look at my comment history for ad hominem ways to dismantle my argument without directly addressing it. But I guess I shouldn’t expect that much cognition from someone who’s clearly brain-dead.

        Pal, all the “racism” you speak of is only in your mind. My comment at no time was meant to be denigrating to the French,

        I mentioned French because I know ennui is a French word, which I understood was used by philosophers to speak of a kind of “transcendental” and therefore “pretentious” boredom. So no, I didn’t say the French were pretentious, if you thought I was.

        Sorry if i wasn’t clear enough.
