"Yee Gads!!!
"I don't know what the word for it is in Austrian....."
-President Obama at a news conference in Strasbourg on April 4.
That's OK, Mr President. If you don't know it in Austrian, you can say it in:
American
Canadian
Mexican
Brazilian
Argentinian
Chilean
Bolivian
Costa Rican
Uruguayan
Salvadoran
Puerto Rican
Swiss
Syrian
Egyption
Iraqi
Or you can always ask your ace Secretary of State for guidance.
