Yep, this video seems to be poking fun at the middle class. It sounds like a parody.  I wonder what the Snobby clan and the like have to say about it.]]></description>

Well, I always found it weird to address or refer to my father as &#039;dad&#039; or &#039;daddy&#039;. I always address my father as &#039;papa&#039;, even if I&#039;m speaking in English. Or maybe that&#039;s just me.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Lots of English people say &#039;papa&#039;. The difference is in the pronunciation. It&#039;s obvious that &#039;daddy&#039; sounds weird if you&#039;re not brought up saying it. I find it impossible to say &#039;papa&#039; or &#039;mama&#039;. But that&#039;s what my husband called his parents.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

J Abela, don&#039;t forget that the three cities use to be populated with the descendants of several different timeline diaspora groupings that came from what is now called Italy.

These  folks were known as very decent and intelligent  and productive people until they were replaced  through attrition and semi forced immigration and substituted with a  Mintoffian Neanderthal rabble via a socialist collectivization replacement system that harked of Stalin. 

The spine breaking Mintoff system gathered this Low IQ rabble from all over the island and gave them housing in the Three cities and naturally this area degenerated with their strong presence that further caused any  remnants belonging to the clan of the original settlers that were still left to flee.]]></description>
