Oh, You Must Be The Steelers Fan
The year is 2004, and I am a Resident Assistant in a residence hall. I have been informed that our hall has a new arrival, from New England or thereabouts. I go to introduce myself.
Me: *With exaggerated Britishness* “Ah, you must be the American chap.”
New Student: *Amused* “Yes, I’m the ‘American chap’.”
We exchange actual introductions.
Me: “How are you settling in? Is everything going all right?”
New Student: “Yes, everything’s fine. Actually, the only thing I’m finding strange here is all the different accents and the rivalries. In the US, we don’t have your thing of insulting people from different cities all the time.”
Me: “What about Pittsburgh?”
New Student: “Oh… yes. I’d forgotten about that.”
