Get the alma mug.A Turkish word translating to "German". Still used in Turkey to simply refer to a German person. Within the Turkish diaspora in Germany, however, it has taken on a different meaning in recent years. "Alman" is now almost exclusively used by younger people in Germany to refer to people (not necessarily ethnic Germans) who fit the stereotype of a German person, that is: being mean with money / not being a hospitable host, taking everything too seriously, loving to ride bicycles, getting drunk on beer every weekend, having a terrible sense of fashion (socks and sandals), liking the famously bland and potato-laden German cuisine, harboring covert prejudices toward non-Germans, being a bootlicker to authorities and, sometimes, having blue eyes and blond hair.
"Alman" is not solely used by members of the Turkish diaspora in Germany but shared with every person in Germany who is of non-German origins. Sometimes ethnic Germans who have become aware of the privileges they have as a German living in Germany use "Alman" as a sarcastic self-descriptor to distance themselves from its implied stereotypes and show solidarity with their non-ethnically German peers.
Its corresponding, albeit less popular adjective is "almanhaft".

Person 1: "My neighbor Bernhard has called the cops on me last Saturday because my friends and I were listening to loud music after 10pm."
Person 2: "Ugh! You live in such an Alman-neighborhood."
Alper: "C'mon, you don't have to say thank you for everything I do for you. We are friends after all."
Jonas: "Sorry, I can be very almanhaft sometimes."

Get the Alman mug.Alma is a sugar-deprived girl who is very shy until you get to know her. She can be funny and is easily annoyed. She will always be the most mature one in the friend group.

Get the Almaz mug.A sheltered area in South San Jose, pretty much isolated from the rest of the city. The houses in Almaden are generally big and two stories, and the people are rich. The kids in Almaden are usually rich, spoiled, preppy. Either they are wannabes who think they live in Beverly Hills, or they are rich white kids who want to be ghetto. Almaden includes the schools Leland, Bret Harte, Castillerro.
Almaden kid drives up in Dad's Mercedes, wearing a bandana.
Almaden kid:It's hard out here man....
East San Jose kid: stfu, the only problems you've faced is when Tilly's runs out of purple.
