WHATS ALL THAT SMILING ABOUT? : HUNGARIAN STEREOTYPES

 

Are you a "smiley-smiley" person? Smiling at strangers you walk past?  (You don't even know them.  You're not even in a conversation with them!) Do you feel the need to act like a welcoming committee?  When you're around sour people, do you think cheering them up is important?  And you don't work in entertainment or tourism?

Well, then, you are NOT a stereotypical Hungarian.

Hungarians do not understand all that smiling, all that showing of teeth.  YOU'RE ONLY SUPPOSED TO SMILE WHEN YOU ARE HAPPY. Smiling when you are not happy is gratuitous.  It's phoney.  It's being someone you are not.  A people pleaser.

Save your smiles for when you really feel them.

(And that goes for your emoji's too!)

HUNGARIANS ARE MYSTERIOUS : HUNGARIAN / HUNGARIAN-AMERICAN STEREOTYPES

 

Once they have started pronouncing your Hungarian surname correctly - or close - it's time to tell your friends that it's TRUE  - You ARE Mysterious!

How can you not be mysterious?

Every Hungarian has a mystery to them.  Their origins, their language, their DNA, their sensibility.  

You have strong political beliefs - but who knows what you're really thinking?

You like all women/men - but who knows who you really love?

You play chess well - but did you let the other person win - for future strategy? 

Who knows what really goes on in your mind?  Not even your mother is sure!

HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME LINKS TO CURTIS, BARRYMORE, HARGITAY ADDED TO MAGYAR AMERICAN SIDE-BAR

The Hollywood Walk of Fame is, if you haven't heard of it, a way of honoring famous actors and others in the city of Hollywood, with stars that are embedded in the side walk.  It is a tourist attraction but please understand that it is fan clubs that raise the money for the actual star in honor of their favorites.  I've been there and you can walk the streets for miles looking for stars.  When someone dies, if their fan club is still around, then there is usually a floral tribute placed upon it.  Some of the sidewalk and actual stars are in need of maintenance, others are bright and shiny.

Looking through MAGYAR- AMERICAN blog, I noticed a couple posts that needed to be taken down due to expired videos.  I decided to add the HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME links for

Tony and Jamie Lee Curtis, Drew Barrymore, and Mariska Hargitay to my side bar.  These links have very informative bios on them.

There are and were more Hungarian-American actors and very many Hungarian immigrants who were involved in the making of films from their early years in Hollywood, behind the camera as well as in front of it, and in all aspects of production.  In case you are wondering, many of these people were Hungarian Jews.

Besides the Gabor Sisters, there is Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudson, her daughter, Jessica Szhor, Adrien Brody, and Tara Reid who have some Hungarian ancestry.  There are also many Hungarian-American stage actors. 

HAPPY HUNGARIAN VALENTINES : ‘Bálint Nap’ or ‘Valentin’Day

Yes Hungarians DO celebrate Valentine's Day, and though it is not as commercialized as it is here in the United States, maybe that's for the best, for there is still an appreciation for a poem, card, or other items that are one of a kind, hand made. Chocolate, flowers, champagne, going out to celebrate your love is all good, but perhaps celebrations are more for city people.  Linking above to a page all about it from HUNGLISH.ORG

Seems to me that some of the positive (it's all true!) stereotypes of Hungarians are that they/we make for passionate lovers, romantic, sexy.... OK.... HOT!  You know... lots of talking over coffee, wine, cigarettes... lots of standing on tables to recite original poetry...  Confess!
