Michael Potter wrote, regarding linguaphobia:
"Not at all. Some people in Tennessee (and the rest of the southern US)
quite violently show their hatred towards anyone speaking a different
language or acting foreign in general. Which reminds me, where did they get
the name Ku Klux Klan?"
to which DeeDubYa responded:
"It came from Greek _kuklos_ or _kyklos_ "circle". A very bad rendition
of the same. Sounds like some sub-human caveman trying to talk all
high-falootin' to me. The distinctive robes and tall pointed
hat-masks, which are usually but not always white, show their
cowardice."
Margaret Cho (on passing through Tennessee while on the road):
"Where do you think they get those robes? Is there some sort of KKKmart
in Tennessee, where they have a 'White Sale' *every* day?"
