What the hell is a "provincial American"?

[-] jbone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 months ago

You don't know the meaning of the word provincial or do you mean you've never encountered it in this context?

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Of or relating to a province.

Yeah as I thought. Given that America has no providences, my question was more than fair.

That's not how you use the term. Provincial as an adjective isn't solely tied to geographic distribution in counties that formally use provinces as a regional government form.

I explained what I meant in other reply.

I honestly thought you know what I meant and were trying to discuss something else entirely. Sorry about that.

I appreciate you explaining. Sorry for assuming you were being condescending.

All good man. It happens with text based online convos. :)

Given that America has no providences

I think they believe in Providence?

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Ah I see, as I expected, just trying to sound smart. Otherwise you would've just explained it

[-] jbone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 months ago

That was a genuine question, I thought you knew what I was saying and questioning the very existence of the concept.

Americans with a provincial outlook; a belief that local mores are the only legitimate way to look at things, lack of interest in different/new ideas.

As opposed to you, who seems to be trying to sound dumb.

I suspect you're repeating something you've heard a lot

And you've nothing of value to add so why insist on writing meaningless drivel?
