Quoting aenigma x:
I would like to have seen the reaction if we had spoken about Turkish people in this manner... |
Ehh, Rain would appear, to advice you to cook smth new or change your hair style, pointing out that you're sick if you talk about Turks in such an impolite manner  , I would add that Turks have been always polite and friendly to me (as if I havent mentioned that 1000 times already  ) and then libralady would start wondering why on earth are we writing this boring old stuff again...

Ahh how I miss Rain  . But I would like to point out, and I think Rain would agree, that I never DID talk about Turks in such a manner! I have never found them to be anything but polite and friendly either (expect on this website!).

Quoting aenigma x: Quoting cyrano: Turkish seems not to differentiate "British" and "English" much. "Britanyalı", except in particular cases such as historical and geographical, is hardly used. We use mostly "Ingiliz". After all most of you are the same and arrogant, regardless of whether you are biritish or english, or whether you speak the same english language or not. |

For my part, I wouldn't give any reaction since I have nothing to do with nationality and being nationalist. You mustn't expect me, who had read Baudelaire having strongly despised his own nation, The French, to show any reaction, however manner you speaks in about Turks. I may or may not agree with your comment on Turks, but this is another story.

I was looking up my dictionaries to be sure about the sense of "arrogant". I was given two synonms of arrogant: haughty and disdainful. Then when I checked the sense of "haughty" I came across the following sample usage which is worth to be mentioned:
"A haughty British aristocrat" (Oxford Dictionary of English)
So, I wonder if being "arrogant, haughty, disdanful" is one of the British customs.

Well I'm British and English but I don't think I'm arrogant, haughty or disdainful - but then nor am I an aristocrat!

Cyrano, I think it's more of an American thing "arrogant". I painfully admit.

Still I suspected its origin and found this.
arrogant:
- Origin late middle English: via old French from Latin arrogant- 'claiming for oneself', from the verb arrogare (see ARROGATE) (Oxford Dictionary of English)
This is where we reach to "British" again. You see, where there is "arrogant", there is "British" there.

Surprise Surprise! You look up the English word "arrogant" in the English Dictionary and discover it's origin is English!!!! How clever of you! Yes, we invented this word in the middle ages to describe Turkish poets.....
