Call a Czernowitzer of ours a Rumanian - you offend him deeply.
Call him a Galitzianer - you better stick a knife in his back.
Call him an Ukrainean - he will be your enemy forever .
Call him Russian - he will not come to your funeral.
Call him Bukovinean - people might think he is from Bogomilsk.
But if you call him Austrian he will consider you a very
intellegent man with a vast background and to be taken seriously.
And , strange as it seems , all the above are correct statements.
Taken with a grain of salt....
