I'm looking for dating and ideally source of first use, but that may be
asking too much. Nope, I'm not looking for an explanation of why people say
eurotrash, eurofag, eurobrat, and the like -- though if you have one it might
be interesting to hear it, especially sitting on this side of the brine :-)

Cheers,
Paul
