Actually, you guessed right on that one. There are idiots in every country and someone has to work with them. Although I certainly wouldn't stoop to pointing out a mere typo to defend an Idiotic Colleague, no matter what nationality they were. :cooler:

I had to find something, didn't I? ;-)

But on a more serious matter, the reason I reacted is that I find it the same thing as saying Foul Smelling African Accountants or Vegetable Minded Blonde Secretaries. There are foul smelling and vegetable minded people of all heritages and appearances, but in such a context it's easily (mis)understood as a specific property of that heritage/appearance.

I hear sentances on the line of "Today I was nearly run over at the crossing by an idiot turk in a bus!" from time to time. I have still to hear someone say "That caucatian moron just stepped on my foot". The stressing of nationalities only seem to matter in negative circumstances, when this stressing would support one's preconcieved notions.

Yeah, I get what you mean, but in this case it's just to make the difference with the usual Idiotic Belgian and Idiotic French Colleagues who annoy me the rest of the time... Being pissed off by an Idiotic Swedish Colleague is quite a novelty actually...

In that case, catrabbit, I'm happy you're Idiotic Swedish Colleagues.

I guess my biker name for today will be Swedes-Picking-On-Everyone-Elses-Flaws. :-D

Pleased to meet you then **wanders off musing about the name "catrabbit" **
