MODERATORS
So fun fact: In Spain we have a word: guiri. While technically it means any foreign tourist, 90% of the time we use it as a pejorative against British people lol
I don't think there's a specific word for them here, but basically 90% of the time you hear someone shouting and acting like a drunk asshole in the Amsterdam centrum, they've got a UK accent.
Same everywhere in Spain. The Brits have a tendency to get super drunk and jump off of balconies
I have traded being a Gringo to being a Guiri....and I'm OK with that (because the few times it was used I defended myself in somewhat passable Spanish and then everything was cool)
