Why do Americans call the main course 'Entrée'? Are they so retarded that they don't know that it basically translates to the starter?

Because unlike you Europhats we don't eat multiple courses, lardo.

It's either because Americans are illiterate or that they just said fuck it to the starters and started eating multiple main dishes.

Real answer: the word entree was originally used to refer to the main course of the meal and North Americans have retained this older usage.

Answer you want to hear: Americans are so stoopid and just want larp as Europeans so they just picked a word that sounded fancy and French and decided to use it.

Why do Bongs call their underwear pants?

>> No.10050963

>>10050943
Due to the prevalence of sharting, most americans chose to forgo trousers in minimize laundry requirements. In time, the use of 'pants' to describe the outermost layer stuck, even with those beginning to grasp how to control their intestinal urges.

English borrows a lot of words, but what they mean morphs over time given culture and location.

No one uses that term, "entree" or any other hi falutin' furrinner word down here in the south because you'll be shot on sight.
