An Argy friend of mine was given to:
- Joking about some of the less-charming stereotypes of her countrymen. (“The French of Latin America.” “How does an Argentine commit suicide? He climbs to the top of his ego and jumps off.”)
- Opining that I would fit in well in/get along with the people of/be happy in Buenos Aires.
Since the two ideas were usually expressed at some temporal remove from one another, only much later did I realize that the overall message was not necessarily entirely complimentary.
