    I only respond to concern trolling with pedantry, so here goes: "German" comes from "germanicus", so it doesn't have anything to do with gender.

      And which imperial power used the word "Germanicus"? It was the ancient Ropersons.

        First, nice Dennis Miller bit. Second, pedantry again, "romanus" literally means "of Rome", so again, the existence of the string "man" is not indicative of gender.

          I'm really tempted to make a bad "rom-anus" gag, because that's the level of discourse we're operating on right now. I can't think of a proper one though.
