......And yet America's foreign policy is still haunted by the same mistakes. The Cold War is long-finished, and communism discredited, but it hardly matters. Who needs an enemy like communism, when you are already your own worst enemy? thanks for that, nice to actually learn something on usenet -- Mike Reid "Art is the lie that reveals the truth" P.Picasso UK walking "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Spain,cuisines and walking "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |

There are precious few Americans who understand the reference, either. How well do Europeans understand 'Euro trash'? For one, I had to look in the dictionary. I had known it as the name of a TV programme collecting together silly euro porn and suchlike, but I had not been aware of the dictionary meaning. Eurotrash noun [mass noun] informal rich European socialites, especially those living or working in the United States My impression is that "eurotrash" and "ugly american" are mainly US terms. -- Mike Reid "Art is the lie that reveals the truth" P.Picasso UK walking "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Spain,cuisines and walking "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |
