puking princess phenomena
Swedish lady: “are women treated as equal in England?”
Wendy: “um, it varies…”
Swede: “…I think women in America are treated equally at work, but not at home. They have the ‘princess phenomena’ here… …I don’t understand it… ….you know what I mean?”
Wendy: “I KNOOOOOW. I don’t understand it either”
Swede: (rearranges her face to look like she’s eaten a sour grape and is about to puke)
Wendy: ‘OH YES!!!!!‘ (immitates swede’s pre-puke face)
(mutual raucus, Ikea-furniture-destroying, laughter)
Unfortunately the princess phenomena is not fatal and is contagious. The USA is exporting it through mass media. I suspect the current existence of a Swedish and British monarchy has partial innoculatory power against this contagion. Or it could be our viking genes making us too tough to tolerate princess-y-ness without puking on them. Thankfully, some USA females appear immune including all my female friends. Phew. Maybe they’re part Viking too?
