Here's another - when Biden was listing off the different groups in the Balkans, he said, "...the Serbians, the Croations and the Bozniaks..."

BOZNIAKS?!?

Who else heard that one?

Bosniak is sometimes used in reference to Bosnian muslims.

My wife and I decided that the folks in neighboring Romania must be Romaniacs.

That was posted right after the debate, But it was also shown that, actually, Bosniacs is an actual word describing an ethnic group that includes some Bosnians, so it’s hard to really say it’s a slip for sure.

Okay I'm going to shout.

WILL ALL FREEPERS PLEASE REFRAIN FROM LOOKING LIKE IGNORANT DOLTS BY MAKING FUN OF SEN. JOSEPH BIDEN FOR USING THE CORRECT WORD FOR MUSLIM SOUTH SLAVS: "BOSNIAKS"?

It's also sometimes spelled Bosniacs.

He was enumerating the ethno-religious groups in Bosnia--Serbs, Croats and Bosniaks--and he used the term correctly.

Make fun of his mangling of Middle Eastern affairs (France and the U.S. drove Hezbollah from Lebanon???! In what alternate universe?). Make fun of his misplacing Hamas in the West Bank instead of Gaza. Make fun of him for supporting the Balkan interventions on behalf of Muslim thugs like Thaci and Izetbegovic in the first place.

BUT STOP MAKING FUN OF HIM FOR USING THE WORD BOSNIAK CORRECTLY!!!
