...in what context would this make any sense?: "If that doesn't scare the shit out of you, then I already know that you're not Russian =)"



Strongly off-topic, but xenopatriotism is very widespread among Russians, especially emigrants. I wouldn't like for discussion to delve into that direction, but such opinion is often justified (obviously not now, though).


Thanks for teaching me a new word today ("xenopatriotism")... it even sounds funny and makes me think of the Alien's xenomorphs :) On the serious side of things, it's also helpful but maybe a bit to intense to characterize my feelings regarding my native country, but I definitely wouldn't mix this with judging software quality...


I'm fairly sure that's a made up word, but I like it for its succinctness and don't know any good synonyms.


Every word is made up.


Presumably, OC has had experience living in Russia and doesn't trust anything coming out of it, however brilliant.
