Armenak Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 It's spread to almost every English-speaking country with an Armenian population. How about the cultural/linguistic diffusion going on in Glendale, Burbank and surrounding areas? Where you can find non-Armenians using words like "gyot" (G7) or "rabiz" or "boz."

Էլիա Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 What's her problem? I don't know... she always says how she hates Armenians because "they always scream" and stuff like that... She's the only Armenian I know who actually insults her race. She goes to Armenian School (like me, but a different one), but she says that all she does is talk to her friends and that she's been in the same grade for like 5 years! How sad!
