On being a Frenchie in NA

Hi there, NA Community

Most of you guys are pretty cool. Even those those who, whilst the OP is hopelessly backpedalling and furiously trying to poke you with his spear, spam him to death. The OP probably wishes you dead for a few seconds before proceeding to consume the rest of the half-smoked joint lying in his ashtray, but then, hey. That's alright.

The OP knows most NA people are probably not used as much to language diversity as the EU people might be. I know how bad the language teaching system is in the US in general - it's probably very similar to Canada's. Even yours truly had to learn English playing Diablo! Overall, the OP thinks they should consider themselves both lucky and unlucky. English is a wonderful language that will help you get around, but don't let this cloud your vision. There are other wonderful ways to express oneself.

The OP does cringe, though, at the reading of some rather unnecessary comments upon his origins. While the OP is an oversensitive racist frenchman, it shouldn't be anyone's idea of sportsmanship to have to endure victory cries coming from what looks like to be 13 years old not quite old enough to understand the basic differences between the casual troll-call "stfu nerd", the ridiculous "GF FRENCHIE" or the more awkward "stfu u french fuck". The OP realizes it's not that bad a problem, but he also thinks all of you who think you're being witty by calling people with French names (namely, the OP) "Frenchie" should just knock it off. It's not funny. It doesn't make you a "troll". It's not even original. Maybe you could instead cut your internet connexion, throw your computer out the window and go fuck yourself with your half-assed attempts at humour. Remember c-RPG is a small community where you are recognized and labeled by other players. Surely you don't want everyone here to recognize your in-game nick as belonging to the asshole you really are.

The sad thing is that people can troll all they want, act like a complete asshole, and then retire and name change after so no one knows it was them.

What's the difference between calling someone a 'Frenchie' and someone a 'Merican' apart from the land they are from?

It's like calling a Swedish person a Swede. A Danish person a Dane etc etc i guess.


Also i were the one who said ingame that if you speak French in NA_1 you'll get banned :D

irl something shorted on the shuttle and laika overheated and died within a few hours of liftoff and for a brief while one could look up to the stars and see a light shooting across the sky that was actually a warm dog corpse slingshoting about the earth at thousands of miles per hour which was arguably humanity's greatest achievement so far

Its more like calling hispanic people you meet in America "fucking mexicans" then anything else, and being offended when they speak spanish.
My posting is like a katana folded 1000 times to perfection.. and the community is what keeps the edge sharp.. and bloody.  -  Me.

20% of Americans speak another language other then English at home, I can't think of any city where you don't run into a conversation in another language in daily life on a common basis.


I would like to point out that the few trolls in NA servers do not represent the majority, any more then someone should assume that Cicero represents Turkey.

'Merican is short for American and is just an abbreviated way of saying it, Frenchie is derogatory as it is not short for Frenchman. Basically what Smooth said.

I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

Most of us are currently living off relatives, friends, parttime-jobs or savings, to be able to work as much and cheaply as possible.

Comparable to someone calling an American a "Yank" or Yankee" as it is often taken like an insult, as while it refers to the nationality it does not do so in a kind fashion.


So yes, "Frenchie" refers to a Frenchman, but not in a sociable manner in most social circles any more then you would call someone from Japan a "Jap."
