My shrift's breath smells like sporkfood.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

You have not had a good week. At all.

The closest thing to genetic exoticism in my kin is a maternal great-grandparent from Nova Scotia.
Heh. I've got one of those, too.
I'm a mix of German (Dad's side), Irish (Mom's side), with a little bit of Lithuanian mixed in with the Irish.

I think she's turning into Ralph Wiggum. We'd better alert the EMT's if she tries to pick her nose.

Canadians would identify themselves as American?
North American, they could.

Yes, but they're talking about U.S. Americans of (likely English speaking) Canadian ancestry of sufficient generations, that the family no longer claimed to be Scottish, etc. when talking about their ancestry, or ticking off a box about ethnicity on a form.
