We came up with an all-purpose ethnic slur. If you want to single someone out but don’t know their specific race/creed/religion/etc, or don’t feel like being the next n-word guy or k-word or c- or h- or.. um… z-word guy, use “Quizno”, as in:

“Some f’n Quizno cut me off in traffic today.” or
“These Quiznos are stealing our jorbs!” or
“Way to go, Quizno.”

the latter being all the more scathing because it rhymes.

Well, that’s a nice sweeping generalization.

In South Korea, “Canadian” can mean all kinds of things, but usually when used by Americans it means “pothead.”

That’s because Canadians are the ones getting busted for pot out here. Americans tend to be the ones beating up taxi drivers.
