A favorite of mine has always been "floccinaucinihilipilification", the estimation of someone or something as worthless. I don't want to get in to what it seems like you're implying with that "master of tongues" comment, you dirty bastard. I'm as straight as they come, thanks. And what do you mean, since when was Texas a country? Texas won its independence from Mexico in 1836, and was an independent republic until 1845, when some cheap bastard the name of whom does not come immeadiately to mind decided that he didn't want to be president and that the U.S. would be very happy with the nice big juicy piece of land that is Texas, so he handed it right over, ignoring the fact that this was apparently technically illegal under the constitution of the Republic of Texas (and I think of the U.S., too). The situation was further confused when, at the onset of the Civil War, Texas seceded from the U.S. as - get this, my Texan fellows, it's a little known fact - an independent nation ALLIED to the Confederacy. Texas is the only state that legally can secede from the U.S., so there was nothing wrong with this. However, when the North invaded the South at the end of the Civil War, they captured Texas along with the other seceded states and set up their own Yankee governments. Later, the Southern states, including Texas, were "re-admitted". BUT the Constitution of the United States forbids it from claiming land of other nations taken by military action (this didn't include the other Southern states because it seems that it was illegal for them to secede, even though I support them all the way in doing so) , meaning that Texas was a nation that legally seceded and was illegally recaptured. So, technically, Texas is still an independent nation, captured by the American military 136 or so years ago. Or so my redneck kin and I contend. There are those who doubt us, but the bottom line is that the Texan spirit is so different from that of any other that we're basically our own country anyway (why else is our flag the only state flag that can fly level with national flags, including the U.S. flag?). Well, you're probably all pre'y tired of my Texan pride for today, so I'll shut up for now. But isn't it cool?
