Basically just something people say that indicates a position indirectly, like how seperatists from a given region might always say they’re from [region] and not [country] or how trump supporters call AI “SI” now.

      I’ve never heard someone say that irl, although I have seen it on lemmy, but I’ve heard tons of people say the french equivalent irl, which is why I said it was francophones. It is based to say it in english though.

        I don’t know French very well, but it seems like it works better, grammatically speaking, in French than in English.

          Yes 100%, it’s incredibly clunky in english but in french it’s just as nice to say as the “American”
