Guest Posted February 2, 2001 Report Share Posted February 2, 2001 These are some stereotypes of Armenians based on country of origin that are not meant to be taken personally. I did not make these up. This is only a joke. YOU'RE HAYASTANCI IF...- If your rims cost more than your house- If you wear Lofers - If your welfare check is bigger than your car payments - If You wear 4 or 5 stripe Adidas or Badidas - If you have one eyebrow - If you think you're in some Armenian Mafia - If you think everyone's name is "Ara" - If your armpits smell like basterma - If your beamer's liscense plate says "Davo em apeh" - If you have an illegal cell phone from North Hollywood - If what you're reading is on a stolen/bought or at good guys computer - If you playa hate Beirutsis and Barskahyes YOUR BARSKAHYE IF... - if you have a special way of pronouncing R when speaking Armenian - if your last name ends w/ "IAN" - if you go to Shiraz regularly - if your name or your cousin's is ARTIN or ARBI or NARBEH - If yourfavorite word is "HEIR" (meaning why) - If you CALL what you do Break Dancing - If youpluck your eyebrows or shave your legs - If you go to Ararat parties and call them Raves - if you wear blue contacts - if you go "bareeeeeeeeeeev, mamen baben inchbeseeeeeeeeeeeeeeen?" YOUR BEIRUTSI OR HALEBTSI IF... - You go to Teen Dances every week - You're in AYF - if you always go "yala" - if you think that you're the best in everything - if your name is Panos, Sako, George, Puzant, Garo, Rita, Sevag, Jirayr, Anto...or anything else as of that. - if every sentence you say, you end with "AGA, SHAKHS, or LAN" - YOU Become a mechanic in the future after being in law school - if you have a computer just for Solitaire - if you have more oil in your hair than you have in your car - if you won't date a guy without a car or money - if you're very very very tight with money $ - if your parents want you home before 6am - if your parents are DEGENERATE gamblers - if you call your Peachfuzz A Goatee - if your dad owns a Panose's Bakery, haha - If you work at Gap, Millers Outpost, or some "cool" store - if you buy your clothes from abercrombie or you know , that kinda stuff - if you have an ararad masis picture in your TV room - if you have one of those William Saroyan posters - if your dad thinks "oghi for life" - if you have "dolma" on a weekly basis - if you like giving only GOLD stuff as gifts Again, this is just a stupid joke.

This is my own addition. You are hayastansi if: - you are a grown man who shaves at most once a week (I tend to do this myself even though I am not hayastansi). -you are male and you think russian women are truly something (I can partly relate to this) -you are on welfare while you own two businesses It seems hayastansis are the only Armenians I come into contact with these days so I don't have any additions for the other categories. Maybe you guys can help out. In the meantime I'm becoming an assimilated hayastanci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kakachik77 Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 (edited) how about stereotypes that apply to all three groups together: For example: Ararat and Masis oil painting in the living room above sofa, painted by some amateur painter, sometimes bought at Vernisage in Yerevan, sometimes not, but sometimes the painter is so amateur that the mountains really are unrecognizable.

One stereotype that applies to all Armenians is "you think you are the best at everything". The original author attributed this to Beirutsis only but in my opinion it applies to all Armenians.

Yervant1 Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 But do you think it is because of arrogance or an inferiority complex? Both and more, lack of respect for other opinions even if we disagree with it. If you disagree with someone, next thing you get is name calling or insults instead of more explanation about the topic.
