    Пиндос means an American, not a fag.

    В обычных странах церковь отделена от государства, а в России - от Бога.

    Yes, I know -- to be more clear, I should have written, "For me as an American, пиндос is an interesting word to learn; for me as a homosexual, п*дик and п*дор are also interesting words." (But I understand that пиндос has absolutely no connection with homosexuality.)


    Although, I guess пиндос could be translated as "American fag" in the South Park sense (loud, annoying person), but not in the sense of "male homosexual."

    no more then translating "spic" as Mexican fag
    зачем обсасывать расовую/национальную тему?
    I do not call Americans пиндосы because I think it's offensive and usually used by some narrow-minded individuals who have never met any American personally but truly believe that know everything about Americans (bad stuff obviously)

    Also why would anybody here care who f*cks who (or what), excuse my French
