A modern scholary name assigned by scholars to denote the theoretical ancestral population of most of the European countries, as well as those of northern India and Iran.
The term, however, is more philologically valid than anything else and has almost no true racial value. As Indic, Iranian, and most European languages (with the exception of Hungarian, Finnish, Estonian, and Basque) display morphological and phonological, as well as grammatic similarities, it has been theorized that they all form a single language family, called "Indo-European" by scholars. These also include the now extinct languages of Tocharian and Anatolian languages such as Hittite and Lycian. Armenian is also an independent branch of Indo-European.
It should be noted that not all languages of India and Iran are part of this language family. In India, the Dravidian language family (which includes Tamil, Telegu, and Kannada) are not Indo-European. In Iran, Turkish (Ural-Altan) and Arabic (Semitic), as well as Brahui (Dravidian) are not part of the language family. Outside the boundaries of Iran and India, languages such as Urdu, Pashto, Tajiki Persian, Ossetic (spoken in Russian and Georgian Ossetia) and many other minor languages of Afghanistan and even western China are part of this family of languages. Also, as a consequence of European colonialism, Indo-European languages have broken out of the boundaries of Europe into the New World and other continents. At present, Indo-European is the largest language family on earth.
Aside from language, the scholarship on Indo-European has also concentrated on mythology. Similarities between the mythological beliefs and premitive religions, including appearance of similar figures and myth cycles have lead most scholars to believe that these beliefs, like the languages, have their origin in a common source.
Much of the Indo-European archaeology has concentrated on the issue of immigration of the Indo-European people in the late Stone Age and early Bronze Age. It particularly has concerned itself with the issue of locating an original Indo-European population, as well as their "Homeland" (often known with the German title "Urheimat").

Kinship terms in most Indo-European languages are very similar. For example, Eng. brother, Fr. frere, Germ. bruder, Russ. brat, and Persian baradar (all coming from IE *bhra-tar-)
The IE root *dheu- also results in words relating to god and divinities in most "daughter" languages: Lat. deus , Gk. Zeus, Avestan dew- (evil spirit) and Skt. deva-

Get the Indo-European mug.Rather derogative term coined by U.S. Secretary of War Donald Rumsfeld to piss off those Europeans who didn't want to go to war with Iraq.
Didn't work out well, Rummy's shot eventually backfired; as Europeans now see the description with pride as they don't have to go with anything fucking America says.

The partner will then proceed by inserting a McDonald's straw into the woman's rectum and then blowing on the other end of the straw causing the liquids in the woman's rectum to bubble, it was inspired from when X2TP (X2 Tha P) was younger having meal's in restaurants, where he would put different drinks in a cup and mixed them together by blowing with a straw. BUT WAIT! there's more, Part 2 of the position begins soon after the bubbles have settled, The woman will sit in a squatting position over 2 shot glasses, She will begin pushing the liquid out from her rectum and into the shot glasses, anymore liquid that has missed or hasn't been used MUST be disposed of "properly". The Final part of the move/position is to cut the McDonald's Straw in half, Placed into the 2 Shot Glasses and elegantly sipped on by the couple.

Get the European Bubble Butt (By X2 Tha P) mug.1. A school situated on the continent of Europe. Often paid for by the government and offering more often than not a decent education.
2. European schools are a specific type of international school. They are created and paid for by the European Union, for the children of its employees, who attend for free. They get an extraordinary education, while the poor peasants outside of the EU-employee-bubble are forced to attend public schools. There are thirteen of them across five european countries, four of them being in Brussels. The worst one of course, is situated in what Trump was talking about when calling Brussels a shithole - the "suburb" of Ixelles. The schools offer a 'european baccalaureate', a high school degree valid in all EU member states. Accredited schools also exist, they offer the same diploma but are in every other way inferior.
The children going to these schools are invariably self important snotty brats.
