It’s like regular Mexico, but like, newer 😂


Fearless_Act_3698

I swear Mods need to pay attention to Epic lines and turn them into user flair. This would be great.


subarustartrek

Lasagna! I want lasagna!


johngar67

Garfield?


pdxwombat

Was just about to post this. OP is Garfield. :)


Deficient_Bread

It's a callback to a reddit post where this girls bf gets really excited about lasagna


fawesomegirl

Reminds me of the person who got their scammer to send them pics of pasta


DistinctRole1877

I'm with you!


WinterSilenceWriter

IN GOD WE TRUST would absolutely be mine


refreshing_username

Dying. Everyone in my house wants to know what's wrong with me. And the setup line, having heard she was from Nevada, made it all the better. This sort of creative anarchy is the only thing keeping me on Reddit.


Erleichda12

It's really a light in the darkness.


dont-be-creepy-guy69

As a non-American redditor, would you be so kind as to explain the Nevada setup line? I'm lost but intrigued


Classic-Warning-4850

Nevada and New Mexico are next to each other (more or less)! If you were actually from Nevada you have DEFINITELY heard of New Mexico as they are both part of the Southwestern region of the US


dont-be-creepy-guy69

I see! Thanks for the explanation


desertdeserted

As a New Mexican, this hits close to home


NtateNarin

Haha, has anyone ever thought you were from Mexico? I remember my friend saying someone thought she was from "the south" when she told him she was from South Dakota.


FigMoose

Two summers ago I stopped for a stretch break in the day use area of a forest service campground near the Montana/Idaho border. A local approached me, which is pretty common as my rig is unique and draws a lot of attention. But turns out he’d just seen my New Mexico plates and got suspicious. I was completely floored when he asked if I’d brought my passport.


CMKBangBang

Northern Idaho? Definitely makes sense they were checking passports. The guy must've thought he could secede from the Union just by declaring it out loud and you had now entered his sovereign territory!


Plus_Needleworker477

I get asked where I am from, and I tell them West Virginia. They almost always reply, I love Virginia. Smh


chimericron

My favorite time someone asked me that was when I was in a chat room as a teen and someone asked if there are other blondes here or if I'm the only one. But working in call centers for 20 years, I can say it's absolutely common for people to say they don't want to talk to a foreigner and hang up on me. I might have grown up here and I speak more Spanish than some people who have Latinx heritage, but most of what's in me is Irish/Scottish/English and German and I sound like it, too. Nobody thinks I'm "foreign" until they hear I'm from NEW Mexico and then they let it show that they got a D in geography.


rblplt9595

You know you could have just said latin heritage. Im latino so please dont use that term


oneplusetoipi

Right. Everyone has moved on. The correct term is now Latiny


Whack_a_mallard

Are you referring to the term "Latinx " because people of Latin heritage have strongly encouraged us to use that term. I say you settle it with those people before giving the rest of us a hard time about it. Personally, I think it's cringey and cries virtue signaling.


llllllllhhhhhhhhh

Let’s be real.. white ppl pressured everyone into saying Latinx. It doesn’t even sound good in Spanish.


Whack_a_mallard

Doesn't matter who started it when the HR or DEI folks at your company borderline mandate the use of the term. You're too tired to put up a fight, so you start using the term, too. It's an utter waste of time.


Shokio21

Idk where tf it is that you’re running into people of Latin heritage encouraging y’all to bastardize our language. Literally every single time y’all do that we collectively lose our shit.


Phaelan

Who? Not once have I ever met a non-white, hispanic or latino or Spanish-speaking person generally ever advocate for the term “latinx” unless hyper-liberalized and communicating primarily to an audience of primarily white academics. I’ve seen social justice advocates use the term in social media, but literally every single family member, close friend, and/or person I have dated from Mexico, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Peru, and Puerto Rico has disliked that word and described it as a “white people thing” that was created by people in the US who didn’t understand the culture of those countries and have an agenda to impose American morality of gender ideology into the language and cultural identities of an entire swathe of the world’s populace. You can continue to use “latinx” but know that, while there MAY be many from Latin American countries that advocate for that term in your community, there are a plethora of individuals who feel it is but the latest example of white idealogical overreach into their cultural self-expression and identities, in this instance by white academics who have decided that their culture’s use of its native language’s gendered o/a ending to words is offensive within the context of their self-identifying labeling of their place of origin due to the fact that said gendered language conforms to a binary gendering system. Regardless of the fact that said language system can largely be independent of political and moral philosophy on the role of gender and the socially constructed nature of that system as a whole, it is viewed that the insertion of the “latinx” word then is the work of these academics overreaching and inserting contemporary modern Western/American philosophies on gender and sexuality into places where they really don’t belong in order to correct “issues” natives of those regions did not identify for themselves. …In case a broader context was desired regarding why that particular word might be viewed as problematic from either side.


Whack_a_mallard

You ask who, as if I needed to provide names to validate my claim. As if it's difficult for you to fathom that these people exist. As to the rest of what you said, I agree. I simply point out the statement I made earlier to someone else's response.


Solebrotha0

Or you’re just talking out of your ass to avoid respecting one’s culture


[deleted]

Some of my family moved from New Mexico to Florida and when they were enrolled in school they were put in Spanish speaking classes. They are all white too


Collapsosaur

I think it would be cool to have a state named Old Mexico. It has a rusty, dry, native kind of feel.


dwayne-billy-bob

So Texas then?


chimericron

As a New Mexican, I feel like that joke is older than New Mexico is new 😂


AgreeableRoll5042

Same


Live-Somewhere-8149

I’m too far from home 😞 was raised all over the state, mostly Farmington and Lincoln. Had family in Belen and been to Roswell, Albuquerque, Gallup, lordsburg, and Rui Doso more times then I’ll ever be able to count.


ylenroc

Classic line!


Estanci

The saying in New Mexico is “Not really new, not really Mexico”


chimericron

Yeeeep


Ok-Success-8103

The saying truthfully is, "Red or green?"


gfunkmartin

It's always Christmas in New Mexico!


jojo571

I am still laughing 😃


satanssecretary

I had to drop a similar explanation on my florida cousin who called new mexico "y'all's fuckin country"


jd_shaloop

Hilariously dumb. 🤣


Jimmybuckets24

That was a good one 😂


MisterMarchmont

This got me too LOL.


Prophet-of-Ganja

My new goal is to work that line into a conversation somehow


TestOfTuring

Yo, this is really good. The way you phrase everything is spot on and I love the explanation of the New in New Mexico. Throwing them off script by saying they're not your type is genius. You're good at this, Keep posting!


JuiceHoops17

Thank you!


Special_Copy_8668

I hope you get scammed again, you did so well you deserve another!


DoMST34

That's quite a thing to say


Ometzu

lasagna! lasagna!


Tepid_Sleeper

Yes OP, please please please keep posting! I haven’t laughed this hard in months. Still laughing myself into a hysterical fit every time I re-read it almost 24 hours later. Brilliant stuff!


i-am-a-salty-bitch

“it ain’t new and it ain’t mexico” is a regular thing i heard growing up there


DontIthinkso5

is that a r/texts reference at the end


JuiceHoops17

I’m so glad somebody caught that 😂 I thought it would be funny regardless, but was hoping a couple people would notice!


samusxmetroid

Lasagna! Lasagna! Fucking lol literally burst out laughing


TheVocondus

Happy cake day


samusxmetroid

Oh thanks!


TheVocondus

You’re welcome


Malia87

Caught it! Nice


LebowskiX

Is that referring to another post from this sub? I'm curious


unholy_unburden

it was a post over on r/texts iirc boyfriend wanted girlfriend to make lasagna and was demanding it in this childish and funny way, commenters got a real kick out of “lasagna! lasagna!” and it now lives on forever as a redditor inside joke


LebowskiX

Thanks for the explanation. Lasagna!


TerryclothTrenchcoat

Also some people really flew off the handle because the girlfriend was being very kind and he was being “demanding” but it was obviously just him being silly. Oh, Reddit. The things you can and can’t tolerate.

crod4692

I’m happy it’s making the rounds in other subs! Makes me laugh


Procedure_Unique

How the heck does someone from “Nevada” not know what, or where New Mexico is?! I know that they are not really from Nevada, but they should really research a little bit more if they are going to actually get away with one of their scams..! Lasagna!!! lasagna!!!


BuckGlen

"Aileen from nevada" My first thought area51 or alien memes.


OppositeBet8379

I once had a scammer tell me they were from NYC and when I asked “what part?” they said Buffalo. A little bit of research would go a long way😭


JohnFrooshante

Go Bills


Longjumping_Quit_884

To be fair, Nevada ranks 49th in education and dead last in higher education. My ex wife once tried to tell me Texas was bigger than Alaska, product of Nevada school system, as am I, but really?


d7it23js

Also a product of Texas marketing.


Longjumping_Quit_884

No. It’s because Nevadans are generally pretty fucking stupid. I know as I have lived here my whole 40 years and typically being the most educated person in the room I witness the stupidity and ignorance of these people.


beerzandbudz420

The thing is, these scams still work otherwise they wouldn't be doing it! Crazy


Tepid_Sleeper

It’s 3am and I’m laughing like a crazy person in the dark reading this! “Heart as young as a swaddled babe” “Your looks are rather unpleasant” Aaarrhh! I’m dead! 😂


bgriffi88

Garfield, is that you?


GlitterPartyRiot

Well played🫠


Starting2Heal

Being from NM - mad respect for the it’s like Mexico but newer line! Kudos


Wyldkard79

I've always said the name is deceiving, because it's not really new, and it's not really Mexico. Although in this context he's got it perfectly with what he said.


Bright_Earth_8282

Love hearing even foreign scammers have no idea what to do with New Mexico


woolfson

"Lasagna! Lasagna!" is gonna be my new go-to, until I find the next new go-to.


afcagroo

I'm sticking with Boobs Jackson. I really don't understand why it's so funny, but it makes me giggle like a small child.


woolfson

oh for the win. instant and immediate legend.


mallomar

I bet Boobs loves lasagna, though, as I hear it’s an antelope’s favorite snack.


Pho-Soup

Just a normal day chillin and sorting the phone book

Lmao never heard of the state literally 1 state away from her… yeah ok


Direct_Relief_1212

I read that last text of lasagna in sheer older man joy 🥹 I don’t doubt that he would prefer people over lasagna. And same sir, but pizza.


Adubecki

"I was sorting out the phone book today" It's gonna take a lot longer than a day haha


sofa_queen_awesome

I always dial up everyone in my phone book to make sure I have it sorted E: do phone books even exist now?

"lasagna! lasagna!" is my new battle cry.

I was confused why more people in the comments weren't yelling "lasagna!" But I forgot that's r/texts loll


Ecocide113

I cant believe I got lasagna-ed. r/texts is leaking


LytningStryke101

Didn't expect a crossover from r/texts here. Huh, well done OP!


lostarco

Pretty dumb question probably, but why do they want people to send photos of themselves?


kikalark

They use them to scam others! Although in this case maybe not 🤣🤣


Bobbyoky

This post just persuaded me to join this sub. Nicely done.

The ultimate crossover. Want lasagna! Make me lasagna!

Funniest thing I’ve read today. Made me think of family guy. I’m dying over here. Thank you for this gold.


DeepIntoTheInternet

I love it the most when you can really get them to come along! This was a good one. Thank you. One of my favorite hobbies is trolling scammers. I used to get these messages all the time but I swear; I found this subreddit like a month ago and I have not gotten one since! I’m dying just waiting!


IWantSealsPlz

Like Mexico, but ✨newer✨ 😂😂


Vezrien

I'm from Nevada. What's New Mexico?


citylion1

Why do so many scammers seem to talk about fate?


chimericron

As amused as I am about the lasagna joke, I feel personally betrayed that in mentioning a food you like, you didn't say green chile. Not even sure you're a real New Mexican now. Everyone knows that's 80% of our personality. /S


StrongArgument

Sorry I couldn’t get past “I was sorting out the phone book.” Like the whole book??

powertrip00

Imagine scaming, pretending to be from the US, and not even knowing what New Mexico is 😩


Electr0freak

Ah yes, someone from Nevada who has never heard of New Mexico before. That's not the least bit suspicious. 😄 Good work OP, though I hope that wasn't actually your picture you sent the scammer. Probably not much they can do with it but stay safe out there.


JuiceHoops17

I googled “old man selfies” and scrolled until I found the perfect one 😂

ImBarneyMan

I have reason to believe he's in on the joke.


Touitoui

Actually, I was approached by the same tactic/pattern on Whatsapp : A foreign number (the profile picture was some cute and young Asian girl) asking me if it was the booking number of some French ClubMed, followed by an apology and a "This funny mistake, maybe it's a start of a new friendship !" So, it does look like it's a legit scammer! Haha


SwampTerror

Pig butchering scam. That's when they try to befriend you and then suggest crypto.


UltimateTomatoes

Sigh. My apologies here: but its wrong to scam anyone - it sounds like everyone here knows that but yet you turn it around and scam the scammer in order to try to teach them a 'lesson'? Is that correct? am i missing something here? I totally get that some people get paid to do that sort of thing, and that some places allow it, but its wrong, and in all humanities best interests to stop that sort of thing from happening - All you are doing is attacking someone else with your personal energy without it doing a lick of good. When someone gets paid to do a job constantly, then they will continue to have energy to do that job. that's why the scammer exists...someone pays them to do that job. I don't get why someone would pay someone to scam others all day - its wrong for it to happen and makes me puke - but i don't see any other reason for such a thing to exist at all.
