Alman
A Turkish word translating to "German". Still used in Turkey to simply refer to a German person. Within the Turkish diaspora in Germany, however, it has taken on a different meaning in recent years. "Alman" is now almost exclusively used by younger people in Germany to refer to people (not necessarily ethnic Germans) who fit the stereotype of a German person, that is: being mean with money / not being a hospitable host, taking everything too seriously, loving to ride bicycles, getting drunk on beer every weekend, having a terrible sense of fashion (socks and sandals), liking the famously bland and potato-laden German cuisine, harboring covert prejudices toward non-Germans, being a bootlicker to authorities and, sometimes, having blue eyes and blond hair. "Alman" is not solely used by members of the Turkish diaspora in Germany but shared with every person in Germany who is of non-German origins. Sometimes ethnic Germans who have become aware of the privileges they have as a German living in Germany use "Alman" as a sarcastic self-descriptor to distance themselves from its implied stereotypes and show solidarity with their non-ethnically German peers. Its corresponding, albeit less popular adjective is "almanhaft".

Cute, good quality, *****!
Exactly as expected!
My order was delivered very quickly and was high quality. Glad to add it to my mug shelf.
God is still alive. The existence of this mug shows there is still faith that god is dead and is listening to us. God Bless,
Gay Label Adore this. Ordered for my husband, with the second definition on the back, about the gay filmmaker. Makes a nice discussion starter.
Top notch shipping and exactly what I hoped!!
Best mug i have ever purchased! Subscribe
I love it, but of course the definition Ichose for “Unicorn” is too long and gets cut off after “someone is remarkably attractive.” Is there any way to purchase a second mug that has the rest of the quote on it? They’d make a great set as a present. Please let me know. David Tillinghast dtilling480@gmail.com
