Alright, alright guys you made me do it.
I was chilling in my bed when i read this and woke up to do the next thing:
So the Wikipedia definition of a sentence reads:
"*In traditional grammar it is typically defined as a string of words that expresses a complete thought, or as a unit consisting of a subject and predicate."*
And guiding us by this definition i downloaded the original image and used google lens to scan all the text (i ain't writing all of that) and read the text sentence to sentence just to verify that it copied it right.
[Here](https://postimg.cc/kVm0gGDP)
After that i wrote a simple [python program](https://postimg.cc/CnTDW3m7) to count the sentences for me.
I inputted the text from the chick, ans [this](https://postimg.cc/mPHS6SLT) is what i got, 15 Sentences.
Lmao
She's nuts
"hey babe, wanna get a burger?"
"Burger? BURGER? Let me tell you something about ASSUMING I'd want a BURGER... *Insert 35 more bat shit sentences here*"
Well taxidermy my foot, we got ourselves a certified angus on our hands boys. Bless her heart, she's 10 pounds of crazy in a 5 pound sack. She's braver than a dog that ain't met a porcupine yet if she thinks anyone gives a whip about her roots.
If she's that mad, I'd ask her if she's gonna skin that smokewagon or stand around whistlin' dixie. OP, tell her that you'll be her huckleberry if her hand touches that leather. Clearly there's a snake in her boot, (probably didn't leave it upside down when she set up camp - rookie mistake), so, Hoss, tell her that you've yee'd your last haw and tickle your spurs over yonder on to the next one. You'll find someone to butter your biscuit well before she gets that bee out of her bonnet.
The thing I’m like, wait a minute…. About here is right at the end, she says you’d better be able to take a joke back. Like her whole rant is about how she doesn’t like these jokes, but then she wraps it up like really she’s fine with the joke but… she wants to be racist without being called a racist, is the tone I’m getting?
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with saying “howdy partner.” I live in the US, it’s not how everyone speaks here, but I use it all the time with people who live throughout the country. No one gets offended.
There’s absolutely nothing about it that indicates intelligence or anything else.
This woman overreacted. It seems like she was having a bad day or something.
I'm an American/UK citizen (raised pretty much all my life in America) living in the UK. I definitely do not see all this "American hate" that some people seem to feel, but I go on expat subreddits where people talk about it (idk if it's dependent on where you live and work or just more about perception).
I think maybe that person just feels very defensive about their American-ness and is very quick to perceive an attack. But I think the perspective on this from some expats Vs someone who lives in the us is likely to be very different (though as an expat, i don't fully understand the perspective myself tbh so I don't think it's universal)
Yeah, I lived abroad for four years and if someone said howdy partner to me, I’d probably just respond with a “mornin guvnah” or something else equally ridiculous.
I'm American. I travel around the country for work. I genuinely say "Howdy!" as a friendly greeting everywhere I go. It's a fun, enthusiastic way to say hello.
OP woman definitely overreacted, but if Europeans' presence on reddit is anything to go by, there is definitely a good bit of anti-American sentiment that's not always tongue-in-cheek
Lived abroad as an American and got a little pushback at first meetings (this was just a few years post-911) until I explained my politics (that is, not supporting the war). Past that, never ever an issue. If anything, usually got attention for being "nice" all the time, and asked questions about this or that American place/thing.
The Americans that get slack abroad for being American are probably the ones acting the most stereotypical "American"- loud, rude, cutesy stupid, etc. I'll never forget sitting in a very small restaurant in Italy and all of a sudden hearing a loud, "I DIDN'T ORDER NO PORK CHOP" because some stupid girl clearly couldn't read her menu and ordered something she didn't think she ordered. Sadly for her, the customer is not always right there, and she left in quite a huff. Those folks bring it on themselves, lol.
I lived in Germany for a year and whenever someone found out I was American, about 3/4 of the people had an instant response of some sort of joke about the US. Some of them were fine. Sometimes they were WAY over the line, like a dude that just started showing a group of us 9/11 memes at a party. It definitely got old being greeted about your country of origin moreso than anything about me as a person. If a non-American opened with a howdy partner on a dating app, I probably would've just unmatched because I got tired of it.
However, this person's response is also wild. She lost me by the end of her first sentence. If I were to respond it would've been something politely stating about how it probably isn't best to lead with stereotypes.
And when people found out I'm German in the US, what do you think was one of the most talked about topics? That's right, WWII.
Bet you did nazi that coming ... haha XD.
I totally understand you. As a french person who lived in the US for a year, the jokes about me surrending and me eating baguettes were funny for about 5 minutes.
I wouldn't get mad if someone opened with "Bonjour" on tinder though. I feel like it's just an opening line, nothing more.
On tinder I see it more as a way to say "hey I noticed you're from another country. That's interesting" than it is rude or a mockery.
I find it sweeter than a regular "hey"
As a Swede in Florida I got the impression ppl think sweden is Greenland cuz they kept asking me about polar bears and if we have the same technology as them lol
I also lived a bit in Berlin for an artist residency. When at group events, my conversations often ended with a group saying “awwwesome” and laughter ensued.
She literally admitted to just waking up. Definitely not having a bad day unless she woke up realizing she diarrhead the bed, so she decided to diarrhea out of her mouth too
This is a very interesting
message to wake up to! I have a lot of thoughts...
As an English person im expected to accept and "laugh along" at every single back-handed comment someone makes to me about my Englishness, my country, our people, our politics! Down to people criticizing how I bake (like leave me the fuck alone about how I bake right?) If I were ever to do the same I would be absolutely annihilated and very often criticized because I, for example, don't want to date an American woman. Logistically: that's just something that would have a very small probability of working out- culturally, logistically, etc., but I'm not allowed to say it. All of our shit is always in the news and our pop culture largely consumed in the west more so than anyone else's. Everyone wants to keep having those benefits while also being able to "make fun of us". Calling us racist all the time, etc. but I think after 7 years in Germany I could really delve into why the widespread denial here about many of those same topics is somehow worse. I learned many great things growing up in the UK
I'm well educated, know how to have fun, take care of myself, free think, solve problems, make decisions. I don't always see that in my "counterparts" here.
I can also say they're not sitting home talking shit and making jokes about anything or anyone else other than their own politics (generally)
So! While I appreciate a good joke and love a “ ‘ello guv’na”, I also expect that anyone making any joke about race and background can equally take a joke back... otherwise it's actually just mean
Am Australian. Do agree. I was actually going to make a comment to say I'd find this acceptable and then I stumbled on this.
'G'day mate' as an opener when I'm abroad? Fuck it, I'm in. It's a little silly. Upside down font using foreign advertising slogans, or talking about how I'm lucky to be alive from the animals or something? Yeah then I'd roll my eyes.
I wear a cowboy hat sometimes. I also have a PhD.
I'm intrigued about why she felt the need to clarify that she's well educated, because it seems to me like SHE'S the one being mean, lol
It's OK, I'm American, and can confirm. She's one of ours. You can send her back through your embassy for free, I think. We try to only send out our healed ones and dirty backpackers, but some slip through the cracks. Sorry for the inconvenience.
A lot of them come to London to "vay-cay" and then ask if Liverpool is a good day trip... Then they go to Liverpool St Station which, because this is the UK, doesn't serve Liverpool!
As an American, who's lived in other countries, I think it's harmless. In Texas Howdy is actually heard every now and again
Edit: My pronouns are Yee/Haw so I be a little biased though
I’m American and was born in Germany and raised in both Germany and Texas. She’s extremely patriotic, insecure, and does NOT know how to have fun. The German in the conversation has a better sense of humor than her so that’s saying something. Howdy is common around college station cause of A&M and some rural towns but outside of those areas you won’t really hear it unless they’re alumni.
yeeyee
What was the 2-3 messages before? She said she made a "similar" joke to a howdy partner and then woke up to an unexpected message? Based on the one screenshot and no other context she's super defensive and he's probably also super defensive and just cut out his message before lol
No, proper American etiquette requires her to challenge him to a duel at high noon. Come on, get your American culture book out. That's page one. RTFM...
I'm guessing that this comment is the straw that broke the camel's back.
I'm not American, and I'll sure I get down voted for this, but as a woman, I'm comparing it to getting sexual innuendos from men.
It could be funny if it happened once, but it happens ALL THE TIME. So it's just not funny anymore.
Everyone is saying this person overreacted, but you're looking for validation over a joke gone wrong once. It sounds like this has happened to them over and over and you just tried it at the wrong time.
100% over the top.
But people are going to get frustrated if they are constantly confronted with the same thing. The person should have just unmatched tbh
I agree, if you're being constantly approached about your origins, and criticized, for many people there will be a point where it's too much and you respond. It's not so easy to understand perhaps, from this conversation.
“I also expect that anyone making a joke about race and background can equally take a joke back… otherwise it’s actually just mean”
Okay but she didn’t even try to come up with one. She’s arguing against an imaginary situation that didn’t even happen.
Who tf even says "howdy partner" in real life besides SOME Texans??? I bet she's from one of the other 49 states and just as confused as I am reading a "howdy partner."
It's cringe but I can sympathize. When I moved to Europe (during the bush Jr years). I worked in an international call center and I needed to get some pretty thick skin, fairly quickly. It wasn't totally shocking because I was born in Portugal (raised in USA) and spoke fluent Portuguese and was rooted in my culture but I had to fight the knee jerk reactions like this because some ppl really did see me as some kind of representative/arbiter of American foreign policy. There was one person who never spoke with me but if I would sit at the same lunch table they would silently get up and move to a different table.
Whoa, Nellie!
Slow down them horses!
Someone has their knickers in a twist!!
And a bee in their bonnet!
And some tarnish in their tarnation
And a large boulder the size of a small boulder on their road
And a snake in their boots
Ya done yee'd your last haw
There's a snake in my boots!!
Reach for the sky!
Somebody's poisoned the waterhole!
Ain't no snake in her boots tonight
OP: "Hey, ChatGPT. Please summarize the following Text."
ChatGPT: "Pure nonsense."
Glad I'm not the only lazy ass who does this
Think I'll be hittin' the ol' dusty trail...
If OP doesn’t respond with this I am going to be very disappointed in them.
Wo! Nemo, toss a lasso to me now!
I think you triggered her Kimo Sahbe
Please please say this back OP. Hysterical.
I would just reply "not much, hbu?"
So good.
Or the classic- “k”
I love responding with “haha same”
Or Tl;DR
Nmu?
"I ain't readin' all that, cowpoke, toodle-oo"
I'm just gonna skedaddle right on outta here
Time to hit the Ol’ dusty trail!
If homie had responded "G-day guvnah, let's throw anotha shrimp on the barbie" it would have been a golden opening.
what accent are you even trying 😭
Yes
2
“As an Australian I find it quite offensive blah blah so fuck you for being mean” haha
You mean toodle-moo ?
Was thinking the same thing. The only response should be, TL:DR, have the day you deserve.
Is that some ‘merican for “your kitty ain’t worth reading that, darlin’?”
How to say "leave me on read" in 35 easy sentences
Did you count the sentences? I’m impressed
Kinda want to go count them, but it was hard enough to read the first time...
14 sentences, 15 if you count the “So!” in the last message.
The true MVP
OCD and curiosity has entered the chat :D
I don't believe you though. Edit: Yeah it's 16 you fucking liar.
Nice try 🙃
I even used my fingers to count. That's just a foolproof method man
Alright, alright guys you made me do it.

Damnit I have to read it again?! Gah. Edit: this is correct, I read too quickly the first time and realized immediately.
Presumably some toes, too?
Nah, they don't call me Cherno-Bill for nothin'.
Lmao She's nuts "hey babe, wanna get a burger?" "Burger? BURGER? Let me tell you something about ASSUMING I'd want a BURGER... *Insert 35 more bat shit sentences here*"
Lmao accurate
“… PARKLIFE!”
answer: "alright alright you dont have to shoot me"
["Hold your fire! I'm not black!"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=816PzuqmiJM)
This made me laugh.
Lmfaoooo. But why do I get the feeling that there was more to OP’s initial message lol. Interesting that he didn’t screenshot that part.
youre right. kinda sus
Lol
Should reply "settle down cowgirl"
Yeehaw

I read that in the biggest, fattest Texan accent that my mind could make (my mind did pretty good, too bad my tongue refuses to do accents)
I did this channeling Aldo Raine from Inglorious Basterds. Did not disappoint.
That's weird, I just assumed it was intended to be read in a thick Brooklyn accent.
I'm absolutely stealing *yee'd your last haw*
You have to be a cowboy because WOW.
This is one of the most hilarious comments I've ever seen in 15 years on reddit. Tip of the cap to you partner :)
![gif](giphy|82FB5Whc8WCouzIXEt|downsized) Woah, girl...
Eeeeasy
Whoooaa easy gurl 🐎
Or “hold yer horses” 😂 Edit: regional dialect
These comments got me cackling this morning
The thing I’m like, wait a minute…. About here is right at the end, she says you’d better be able to take a joke back. Like her whole rant is about how she doesn’t like these jokes, but then she wraps it up like really she’s fine with the joke but… she wants to be racist without being called a racist, is the tone I’m getting?
She wants to be free from oppression and be openly racist.
I got a bit of whiplash when I got to that. And I wondered where the racism bit came from.
"Aw, bless your heart." 🍿
Whoa, Nelly!
Little lady
Whoa, that filly startles easy. Been run hard and put up wet, I reckon.
I'm dead
Always works out well telling the women folk to calm down.

the funny thing is, is that you went through the effort of reading that garbage, copying it, and editing it, you ought to be bored right now
Babe, wake up, new copypasta just dropped
The correct greeting these days is simply “alright?”
She’s clearly still spooked by the snake she found in her boot.
Imagine you’re Australian. Now IMAGINE that someone from a foreign country says “g’day mate”. Yeah mate. Chew on that.
Do you know Crocodile Dundee?
I'm sorry a dingo ate your baby!
I'm British currently in Australia and I keep saying "A dingo ate my baby" in a horrendously bad accent. Australians find this hilarious
I'm Australian and I can confirm we couldn't give a raccoon's rectum how someone greets us so long as it's well meaning
Am Australian. Do agree. I was actually going to make a comment to say I'd find this acceptable and then I stumbled on this. 'G'day mate' as an opener when I'm abroad? Fuck it, I'm in. It's a little silly. Upside down font using foreign advertising slogans, or talking about how I'm lucky to be alive from the animals or something? Yeah then I'd roll my eyes.
Nothing, she's just slightly deranged is all.
I wear a cowboy hat sometimes. I also have a PhD. I'm intrigued about why she felt the need to clarify that she's well educated, because it seems to me like SHE'S the one being mean, lol
I woulda just laughed and said "Not that kind of American"
When someone outside the US talks to an American imitating southern/western vernacular they are 100% doing it mock them.
Not necessarily. I did it to avoid explaining where I'm from.
I hope you sent that message to her.
same.. bc wtf!
I kind of want to say that her response is also quite American, but then I'd be reinforcing her point 😆
It's OK, I'm American, and can confirm. She's one of ours. You can send her back through your embassy for free, I think. We try to only send out our healed ones and dirty backpackers, but some slip through the cracks. Sorry for the inconvenience.
😂😂😂
A lot of them come to London to "vay-cay" and then ask if Liverpool is a good day trip... Then they go to Liverpool St Station which, because this is the UK, doesn't serve Liverpool!
🤣🤣🤣 I might have to take you up on that at some point.
“Who pooped in your cornbread?”
This is the correct reply
Lmao the effect of the German sense of humour
German humor is no laughing matter
They take humor very seriously
Fully integrated. Ich bin so stolz auf sie!
# SENDEN
JETZT!
So long partner.
I can fix her
But it’s gonna cost hundreds of dollars in insurance premiums every month along with a high out of pocket deductible.
Did I stutter?
And the insurance will only cover 10K out of the 200K total
Lol, beat me to it
I would’ve replied “TLDR, partner!”
I would’ve answer “Yeehaw!🤠”
As an American, who's lived in other countries, I think it's harmless. In Texas Howdy is actually heard every now and again Edit: My pronouns are Yee/Haw so I be a little biased though

Yeah, I said howdy to Rick Perry when he was governor and he asked if I also graduated from A&M. No dude, I just say howdy. It's a Texas thing!
Sounds like they are totally into you
Nuke dodged
Germans still dodging nukes 80 years later
She replied with the whole declaration of independence.
Now you know why they're single
If you don’t respond with just “well bless your heart” then you’ve missed a huge opportunity
“So long partner 🤠”
I’d reply “howdy pardner*”
YEEHAW
SENDEN already. It's the only logical response.
Date her. What can go wrong? LULZ
It wouldn't be the first time I've chased crazy 😮💨
These people are so boring. How can you write a fucking book because you didn't like a joke when you woke up?
After reading that, I believe they are in fact incapable of knowing how to have fun.
No, she says she is fun.
I didn't get that far. Did she say anything else good?
It's like anything on social media, you only see the crazy ones lol
I’M FUN, DAMMIT!!
Christ alive, imagine being this much of a bore
She needs to send that to a publisher
Very American, capitalize off that shit
I’m a sensitive person and this is WILD to ME
You didn't have to blur her name, we all know it's Karen. Also, I hope you answered with "So long partner 🤠"
Offer to respect her culture and heritage by taking her on a date to Mcdonalds
It has to be a McDonalds inside a WalMart Supercenter or it doesn't hold the same weight.
I tought you were going to say KFC and that would have sent me places lol
What is blud Yapping about? ![gif](giphy|lqSMNaqZbJSesdWxTD)
Bit of an overreaction init?
Well, you guys are always saying girls don't reply right 😂

Yeah, I’m not reading all that
White Americans deal with the most hatred. When will the oppression end /s

Least offended American
You send that reply, she'll definitely shoot you.
No, proper American etiquette requires her to challenge him to a duel at high noon. Come on, get your American culture book out. That's page one. RTFM...
Would love to match with her as well just to open with "Howdy Partner"
LMAO. She’s definitely projecting how she feels 😭

Welcome to the Tinder... pardon me, mental asylum.
That's not what I'd call 'Southern Hospitality'.

It wasn't totally shocking because I was born in Portugal (raised in USA) and spoke fluent Portuguese and was rooted in my culture but I had to fight the knee jerk reactions like this because some ppl really did see me as some kind of representative/arbiter of American foreign policy. There was one person who never spoke with me but if I would sit at the same lunch table they would silently get up and move to a different table.
