I think (though I'd have to check) that it's my title. "UnAmerican Buffistas" certainly is. Frankly, I don't care how the colonials refer to us, though.
Dawn: You're not fleeing. You're... moving at a brisk pace. Buffy: Quaintly referred to in some cultures as the Big Scaredy Run Away.
'Touched'
All Ogle, No Cash -- It's Not Just Annoying, It's Un-American
Discussion of episodes currently airing in Un-American locations (anything that's aired in Australia is fair game), as well as anything else the Un-Americans feel like talking about or we feel like asking them. Please use the show discussion threads for any current-season discussion.

It may be a while before we need a new thread title- given that this thread's pretty slow moving for a Buffistas thread. But I agree this thread title isn't my favourite.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hey! Colonial and UnAmerican here.
Careful how you wield that us.

I'm trying to come up with good alternatives. Having thrown out 'bloody colonials' and 'Nancy Tribe' as too specific or not specific enough, and trying not to be offensive to Americans, it's quite a task. Show quotes are virtually useless, too.
UnAmerican Buffistas: We Didn't Throw The Tea Away
UnAmerican Buffistas: We're Not The Ones With Funny Spelling
UnAmerican Buffistas: Why Do We Have To Wait So Long?
are the things I've come up with so far. Hum...

How about: Non-American Buffistas: We have words and myths.

It's the "Un-American" part you don't like, Zoe? Okay- I thought you objected to it in the context.
Um...

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
"Un-American" has resonance for some USAnians because of Senator Joe McCarthy's Un-American Activities Committee witchhunts of the 1950s, in which case it's almost Spartacus-like to be branded an Un-American. (cf. Angel's "Are You Now or Have You Ever Been...?")

By the time this rolls around, the discussion will spring up anew. Such is the nature of the Buffistas (ask a Bitch about early naming, and how well it works).

Got Some Cash! Chick Pit! Nancy Tribe!
I haven't been around that long, and I've seen it... am seeing it... will see it again...
So, still no news on Angel in Australia, huh?

Yes the UnAmerican reference really bridled me.
Slight change how about: Non-American Buffistas: We gave the words and the myths.?
