Barsgahaye, shortening last names, etc...

I heard his Armenian....

Don't you think thats disrespectful to have your last name cut short like that just cuz it is "easily" pronounced?

I mean no disrespect, I had to reduce my last name too cause it was one of those ones that was too long and complicated to say, basically 1 out of 50 people could read it under a second without chokin' at some point...but I did leave the "ian" in the simplified version. Maybe its me, but I find it disrespectful when people cut their names short like that, specially if their famous like Andre Agasi(and Gwen Stefani?).

That I must say is one of the many things that is reallllly funny about modern day Armenians.

They think that by customizing their names into "English sounding" names by cutting off the suffix of their indigenous names, they will "fit in" to our Anglo culture. It is pathetic yet funny.

One example was my mom's doctor, Doctor Armen Vartany. He thinks we will not notice that he is Armenian without him putting the "ian" or "yan" there. How ridiculous is that?

Yea you are correct, he is a Barsgahye that is what we said.

So all Persian-Armenians are idiots?

Even the kangaroos would be shocked at their quaint stubborn ways and lifestyle.

You've piqued my interested, how does it end?

And damnit, I'm so sick of Persians and Parskahyes. I swear, if I have to spend another night with my dad's fmaily and their friends.. I don't know if I can take it man, another "maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamet voooonsa?" and I'm gonna karate chop my cousins and xxxxx slap my hamasik horkur out the window.

*Lets out a deep breath* Badbakht...

Baskahyes dont say vonsa... sorry.

He does all sorts of comestics but since that was first on your agenda, yes.

[IvyLipstick]

Yes, next question.

[IvyLipstick]

What is a "persian armenian?" Listen, when you guys translate it from your own language to English it sounds awfully wrong.

"Persian Armenian" sounds like a mix between a Persian and an Armenian like as if one of the parents was a Persian or an Armenian.

[IvyLipstick]

Barsgahyes do say "vonsa" it just depends. Half the time I cannot really decipher: are they moaning or are they talking or are they crying or are they asking a question?

[sleuth]

the only way to get rid of annoying parskahyes is , to move to australia and live an anonymous life.

Bah!!! Ta mate .We are just fine without parskahyes.Keep them cozy and warm in Sweden .

I wonder why ppl eat Hindu_hav but not Parska_hav?:P


Ps: Melbourne is parskaye free (at least my vicinity). I met only one parskaye so far.He was vigorously shaking my hand ... apri papet,shat lav gortsuma
I think they are hilarious, harmless but pretty insipid.
