[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 455265, member: 55747"] You mean, without the trophies, aight? It depends. Given what you wrote, i wouldn't take offense if you called me argie. I see no intention to offend. The origin of the term ain't friendly (the sun, "gotcha", etc). Half the times it's used in a friendly manner, while the other half, not so. I generally try to see the context (tone, etc) and act accordingly. I have english friends who call me argie and i'm fine with it, but I'd have a very different reaction if someone who doesn't know me says it. Let me put it this way. If i know the guy means no offense, i'll let it slide, if i'm in doubt, i'll ask, and if i know he means offense, i'll probably take a swing. Having said that, i'd say the average argentine expat wouldn't find it offensive. I'm mentioning expats as it's a term you won't hear in Argentina. Really? In a rugby forum? [/QUOTE]
