No, it's because the word was used wrongly in a completely unrelated context where it doesn't make any sense

They don't, clearly

Thank you for sharing, could definitely be useful while playing sound with the homestead!

Well, context definitely matters. We don't know what you did, how you did it, if she was with her bf, how sane was her bf etc etc. I don't want to negate your personal experience but I doubt it was just normally casually "talking to a girl" that got you in trouble in a normal situation.

Also 2015 is almost 10 years ago, it's not really accurate to define it as the current situation.

As for my source, I'm white, my wife is Korean, my ex was Korean, and I hang out alone with female Korean friends a lot. Some very old grandpa may be not very happy about skinship in public, but that's all. Never to the extent of being attacked or harassed, it's usually just looking at us a bit with a grumpy face.

This being said, it's not all perfect. Some families may be less open than others in accepting a marriage with a foreigner (old generations, young people just think it's cool usually). And not only about white people. The mom of a friend was grumpy about her son marrying a Japanese girl, for example (even if he lives in Japan) But even so, nowdays is rarely open hostility.

Of course idiots are everywhere. So I'm pretty sure there are young guys saying "white guys steal our women!1!!" and getting angry.

Also, an important note is that these days the fight between "feminist" Korean women and men against them is getting bigger. This can influence especially the mind of young men. I was approached by a Korean boy asking me about how women are in my country because all Korean women sucks and are terrible. In that context, I'm sure some guy will use dating a foreigner as an excuse to say how shit and easy Korean girls are.

Anyway, exceptions aside the average population is pretty much fine with it, especially in big cities. It's not like Korean men don't like white women too, after all.

Sorry if this is too long, but we're all here to share knowledge about those countries anyway

Don't know about the rest, but the South Korea part is simply complete bs

Castrato is just Italian for castrated or neutered, even used with animals albeit mostly used referring to males. Sometimes it's even used figuratively. It would still work perfectly with your example, I think

Not really surprising. That last part "tard" comes from the Latin tardus which basically means slow or late. The "re" particle originally just had a meaning of repetition, in this case. So being late (not for the first time? ) So changing the first part of the word wouldn't change the meaning of it so easily. Maybe technically something like "intard" could make sense in that way (similarly as what you find in words like indomitable, impossible, ineffective etc), but it doesn't really exist. Or if we want to make it more meme-like, tarden't?

Protarded actually exists as a slang with completely different meaning, but that's out of scope

Overall useless information for most, but anyway

The base is not bread. Even your definition doesn't call it bread. It's pizza. And a random American dictionary is hardly a source.

Also, pizza is older than tomato in Europe...

Here's an Italian dictionary, if talking with an Italian wasn't enough

What defines something as pizza is the base, not the toppings. Of course there are some common and more classic toppings, but those include also no cheese pizzas

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Pizza and bread have different preparations, cooking, and sometimes they are even made with different ingredients. Certainly you wouldn't say pasta is bread too only because it's made with flour and water, for example

I explained more in detail in another comment here, but to be short I can list some like pizza farcita, focaccia, marinara etc

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

In Italy cheese is absolutely not required, even if Margherita is the most common base so most pizzas have cheese. Even so, there are many types of pizza with no cheese, and many others with no tomato.

It's also very common to see pizza farcita, which you can imagine as a pizza sandwich. For example a very common one is "pizza e mortazza" in Rome, which is a pure puzza with no topping but filled with mortadella (a type of ham). But various kinds of fillings are possible

Another example would be focaccia, most of them don't have any cheese at all.

There is even sweet pizza with no cheese, for example pizza with Nutella
