Dude needs to go back to Transylvania
We don't want him. We have enough problems with our own fascists.
I thought they elected someone with a respectable degree that would have morals? Dr Acula is not a good leader?
Lexington, KY has more than enough problems without him.
For those that don't know, Transylvania University is in Lexington, KY. The reason for this is that when the university was founded, the town was called The Transylvania Colony. Guess who settled there?
Transylvania is in Romania right?
The original region, yes.
Nosfaratu?
Lol, more like (Dr.?) Frank N Furter, as portrayed by the fabulous Tim Curry, but yes. Romanians. Lexington, KY may as well be a colony of the people from the planet Transsexual in the galaxy of Transylvania. Lexington remains the second highest per capita LGBTQ+ city in the US just behind San Francisco.
~~Edit: also for those that don't know, the suffix "vania" means "forest or woods" in Romanian.~~
Therefore Pennsylvania means "Penn's Forest," and Transylvania means "across/through the woods."
"Silva" means forest in Latin. The name Transylvania(it's written Transilvania in Romanian) is a Latin translation of the Hungarian name for the region. In Romanian the region is known as Ardeal.
The "vania" suffix is not a thing that means "forest" In Romanian(source: me, a Romanian speaker).
Fair enough. I was taught the wrong etemology of the words.
dracula tepes?
vlad dracula tepes? he dint bring his magical teleporting castle with him.
