@teto You can tell they're talking shit because they use abstract Latinate words like 'partner'. Germanic words, like girlfriend/boyfriend, are concrete and don't need a degree to understand.

@matrix
@teto 'Girl' and 'boy' are Middle English words. When given a choice, using Latinate words is the sign of someone bullshitting.

@matrix
@thatbrickster @matrix we use girlfriend and boyfriend in germany too, im just saying the italians dont say "partner". I guess you were referring specifically to english words of latin origin :tetolurk:
@ergo I have no issue with the Latin language. My issue is the use of English words rooted in Latin. I otherwise make no judgement on how to speak to someone about the Holy Roman Empire.
