Євген@cstross An old gag that I first heard phrased concerning a transplant to small town New England. The transplant asked a native “I know I’ll never be a native, but what about my kids? They were born here.” The reply; “Well no, not really. Just because your cat had kittens in the oven, you wouldn’t call them muffins, would you?”
Jacek Wesołowski@efhastings @cstross Funny how this works very differently for big cities, and especially for capitals. Here in Warsaw less than half of residents are natives as in "born here", and perhaps that's why the definition of a varsovian is "a person who says they're varsovian".
(once every ten years local media try to stir up some locals vs. immigrants animosity, and they fail every time)
