i say "moshi mosh" because I'm a weeb.
My takeaway from bad Peter's sad attempt at being cool and edgy? A jazz bar dance? Strutting? But if you think about it, this Peter was raised by a very elderly May and Ben . His idea of hip music is the swing jazz that Ben could have played, his idea of cool is May and Ben watching old James Dean movies. This Peter is an absolute dork, even when he's trying to be cool
Toby McGuire is a bad person.
For real or are you joking?
I find him personally disagreeable for reasons that I find difficult to articulate. I just don't like his vibe.
saying "shalom" or "namastey" or "hola" as a non-native speaker was an irritating "hip" thing to do when that movie came out, and that's a scene where Peter Parker is trying repeatedly to be "hip" and failing spectacularly.
I've lived in Texas as long as I can remember, but I was born in California.
Spanish finds it's way into my everyday speech constantly.
My family is white as fuck, but my mother became fluent in college.
I took Spanish in high school for my foreign language credits.
While I'm not fluent, I've worked closely with people who primarily speak Spanish with a little broken English.
The little bit of Spanish I recall, and the little bit of English they know, allowed us to work together.
Is that irritating?
why did you feel that someone, using a foreign word, to look cool, was similar to you using a second language, to communicate with its native speakers? Honest question here. That seems like a big leap in logic to me.
no, speaking a second language to communicate with others isn't irritating, especially in the southern and SW US, where Spanish is so common.
wait is it genuinely irritating to sprinkle in greetings/thanks/you're-welcomes in other languages cuz i do that a lot cuz i like learning new words π₯Ί
All the people I've met who did that also happened to be irritating douchebags. Now whether there is a causal relationship and what is the direction of that relationship, I can't say.
Depends on context.
This is the same idea as answering the phone with "Talk to me" which is generally from a pompous arrogant character.
Like "I'm here, what do you have to say?"
Howdy howdy howdy!
I honestly can't stop greeting people like this, even though I've never stepped foot in a place where it doesn't snow
π€ happy cake day pardner
yea, it's irritating by way of inconvenience, especially in monocultures like the states, but it isn't wrong or a "bad" behavior, so go for it.

de rien!
Unfortunately you are not allowed to speak in tongues outside of those you were born into.
Also nice username.

π½οΈ hmmm
that's also a top notch username
Same... Do people hate me?
As someone that does this...
People say I'm irritating but endearing.
So take that as you will.
I could have sworn I watched this but I don't remember the plot of the movie, let alone whatever this is. I feel like the only thing I remember from it was him telling the girl to make him different cookies.
He looks like an emo twink and his daddy dom just told him he's been a very naughty boy.
fuck you. you're totally right and I hate it
To me it looks like what I thought Macaulay Culkin would look like when he was older instead of what we got.
Ya know, given recent events, certain people have made me aware that I often say shalom, call my baby daughter "bubby" and use other words like "schlep" and "schvitzing," as though Yiddish was evil. They are, of course, assholes.
Natural, I'll continue to use those words because I was raised on Mel Brooks movies, especially Men in Tights, which is a goddamn classic.
Yiddish and Hebrew are far older than and used by those who don't support current events. It's like the German language getting demonized in the US (and probably elsewhere) around the world wars; the language didn't do anything, but people make assumptions of the speakers of those languages.
Yeah Judaism isnβt the problem with Zionism, settler colonialism and genocide are.
Doesn't bubby mean grandmother?
So apparently it can be both Grandma and baby, and I have no idea why. I did double check, though.
"Bubbe" only meant grandmother originally. The "baby" meaning almost certainly comes from it being a false cognate with the English word.
Many Yiddish words like "schlep" are so mainstream that it doesn't even register with me.
"You've got a little schmutz on you" just feels like the right way to tell people there's an unspecified substance on them.
Isn't that one Dutch?
