Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I describe myself as UnAmerican on a regular basis.
As do a lot of long-time Buffistas. I'm an un-un-American, so maybe I should stay out of this, but as much as I've seen it used as a self-description within this community, I've also always shared ita's and Sophia's take on the name.

The term UnAmerican is a specific joke about McCarthy. ita, I'm sorry if I offended with my us-ing. For what it's worth, the UnAmerican thing comes from the original title (The UnAmerican Buffista support group), and if it offends anyone, well, that's odd but fair enough. New title-wise, I'd go further and vote for: "Are you now or have you ever been: UnAmerican buffistas" - because that includes those UnAms (Billytea, ita) who are in the belly of the beast. Speaking personally, I'd hate to see the UnAmerican term vanish as much as I would the word "Buffista" - it's how I think of this part of the boards, it's always been how we describe ourselves (not-american doesn't have the right sense of lighthearted mockery & snook-cocking) and frankly it's a phrase I'm rather proud of.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
frankly it's a phrase I'm rather proud of.
As well you should be. I wouldn't have thought to use it as my term of choice if I hadn't seen it here.

OK-- I am laughing even harder now, becuase I just realized it is not only a McCarthy ref but an Angel episode (dim this morning).

What Jim said.
Well, other than coming up with the phrase, because I didn't - he did. But other than that, what Jim said.
"Are you now or have you ever been: UnAmerican buffistas"
Love it, too.
[Edit: resisting the urge to point that 'buffistas' should be capitalized]
[Another Edit: failing]

Nilly, if you didn't point out capitalization, you wouldn't be Nilly. Which would be tragic.

Awww, thanks, Jim.
It's worth mentioning that there's no capitalization in Hebrew, so I can only spend my nit-picking (about this) in English. In Hebrew I nit-pick about things that don't exist in English (like gender in adjectives and stuff like that).
