what nationality are you?

so following the Trinidad & Tobago problem...i made a list of countries that have iffy nationalities. here goes...

Burkina Faso - Burkinabe (singular and plural)

Lesotho - Mosotho (singular), Basotho (plural)

Luxembourg - Luxembourger(s)

Mali - Malian(s)

Montenegro - Montenegrin(s)

Monaco - Monegasque(s) or Monacan(s)

Qatar - Qatari(s)

San Marino - Sammarinese (singular and plural)

Seychelles - Seychellois (singular and plural)

i'm sure there are many more african countries that i don't know about...not to mention all those little islands like the guinea's and all.

but hey...imagine this...

me: hi...my name is feefs and i'm from malaysia. that makes me a malaysian.

random guy: hi...my name is silver lightning and i'm from burkina faso. that makes me a burkinabe.

just sounds wrong...sort of like a cuss word in hokkien no?

me: hi...what nationality are you?
random guy: i'm malian.
me: what? you're an alien?

me: hi...what nationality are you?
random guy: i'm a luxembourger.
me: you would like some burgers?

ok...i'm becoming lame...time to continue with work....
