I first came across it in the mid nineties, in, of all places, Adobe software manuals, and I've loved the word ever since then.

This is where you are wrong, as always.

There is no xenophobia with 'Europe', as in, the continent. There is issues with the 'EU', the corrupt institution in Europe.

Your disdain with America, is ignorance, the same ignorance you apply to democracy. The US is not down market. Sure, there are deprived areas, but UK has these too. Having been to America several times, there is nothing down market about it at all.

Oh, and I don't like German cars and I have never been to Spain, or elsewhere in Europe.

I couldn't find any disdain or ignorance towards America in that post

I never asked you to look.

Calling it down market when it isn't is disdain. But no surprise... You wouldn't, being one of his 'few', Anti-Brexit buddies.

However, I was not seeking for your agreement or approval. It's my view and I stand by it.

Technically he was saying a 'down market version of [America]' not calling America itself down market but I don't think he was being complimentary of America either. America is a cool country though but so are a lot of the European ones.

No disagreement, there are some places in Europe I would like to visit too.

Mr K, has always shown disrespect to the US, it's just took me a minute to find an earlier post of his saying, 'America has always been crap.' Yep, this is showing disdain.

if you tried reading the previous posts between myself and mr k you might find the context of the debate and the context of that post ,but seeing as it went over your head ill explain. mr k inferred that the only thing the USA have given the world was mcdonalds . i posted a different viewpoint .

Not really Smurf; I was comparing France giving us lovely wines and cheeses and the US giving us Fast Food. It was supposed to be humour more than anything else. Other things they've given nuclear weapons, Donald Trump, global warming...

I was just pointing out that some Brexiteers on here love everything US, and hate everything EU. Fair enough, but what about liking everything British if we're going down the Brexit route ?

Nothing particularly against the US people, they have my real pity atm. My sister has dual nationality having lived there for 20 years; however it's not for me, I don't want that culture here, just as others don't want the EU.

thats fair enough glad we could work that out - the main thing i like about the USA is the monster in law lives in Florida and i thank them for that .

Do you have a list of those people?


Don't forget; the EU is a political system, not the separate European countries. My view is that once we are out of the EU, they can organise there multi-country political system however they choose.
