why did you ask this question?
While it's true that a "berliner" is a jelly pastry, it's also the correct term for someone living in Berlin.
This has been a decades-old myth.
It is no different than someone German coming to NYC and saying "Ve are all New Yorkers!" and then people laughing and saying "hahaha he called us all Chryslers!"
Actually, Bosniacs is a term that refers specifically to Bosnian Muslims. Bosnians refers to people of all religion and race in Bosnia.
oooh, you are wicked, but very funny!
JFK = donut
Ted K = Mass State vegetable.(seaweed)

Could this thread be pulled off the Breaking sidebar?
A whole thread based on mocking Senator Biden for using the correct term for Muslim South Slav (Bosniac, sometimes also Englished as Bosniak) does not put FreeRepublic.com in a good light.
I’m not advocating closing the thread, just getting it out of the spotlight of the Breaking sidebar.
Intentionally? It's not all that common here, at least as the MSM goes. Oh, he's a gem. I would think he'd want to go with Bosnians like most of the MSM here, just to be PC and all.
Did Bill Clinton wipe out the Serbs or the Bosniaks? I can’t remember. It adds insult to injury for “can I call you Joe” to call them Bosniaks. Biden looked shocked when Sarah was talking - shocked and awed (or his eye job was bothering him under the spotlights).
It's a real word and biden is still a doofus. We should be focusing on the 14 outright, provable lies that he told last night.
Someone on another thread suggested that he used “cosmetic tape” to achieve that klingon look. I assume that it is a type of invisible or skin colored tape that he used to pull the skin back at the corners of his lives. Looks plausible.
Indeed, focus on the list of lies, and those 14 are just for that relatively short period of time he had to speak last night. Imagine if he had more time!
And, what's with the offensive non-sequitur?
Bosniacs. Why am I thinking of little people from Doctor Who.
That wasn’t a gaffe.
Bosniacks...

And that is what they call a ‘gaffe-free’ performance for a liberal!
