language tourist

A person (usually white) who learns languages for fun rather than by necessity and berates immigrants who learn languages because they need to. Despite the fact that language tourists have a very shallow grasp on the languages they visit, they tend to dismiss the immigrants who actually need to learn complex grammar and vocabulary in a colonial environment instead of learning two sentences for entertainment.

this girl told my immigrant friend that he should improve his french, she thinks it's easy because she's a butcherer of 5 languages, what a fucking language tourist .

War Tourist

War Tourist: A war tourist is typically a middle-aged, middle- or upper-class male from the West a individual who, in a modern-day midlife crisis, seeks excitement beyond ordinary holiday experiences. They venture into conflict zones and war-torn countries for the thrill and unique experiences, often relishing the danger. Sometimes, they even attempt to join local military efforts. This new form of tourism can lead to significant consequences, including legal repercussions, accusations of terrorism, and the risk of being kidnapped, tortured, or even dying. They may return home with souvenirs such as bullets, shrapnel, or even human remains. War tourists prefer these intense experiences over typical holidays and often proudly share their stories and souvenirs.

Lee: Frank, I was watching the news the other day, and there was this bloke who goes to war-torn countries on holiday, just to watch wars. LOL

Frank: Yeah, Bruv, I think that’s the new trend, nowadays? War tourism! These posh blokes get bored with their fancy five-star hotels and decide, why not head into a warzone instead LOL for a bit of a kick

Lee: I reckon Bruv, and then they come back showing off their souvenirs—bullets, shrapnel, pieces of human bones.

Frank: These sick fuckers these war tourists, Bruv

Lee: init bruv LOL
