15 WAYS TO IDENTIFY A NEPALI "DUDE":
1. Wears a Swayambhu/Mt. Everest T-shirt.
2. Always sticks to Levis 501, unless he puts weight (which happens quite often).
3. Likes to feast on Momo parties.
4. Loves chinese dish - Dumpling (Momo) being the favorite followed by Lomein.
5. Looks a bit oriental, but speaks with an Indian accent.
6. Hates Indians, calls them "dhoti," but loves everything Indian from movies to paan-parag.
7 Develops a pot belly within 6 months of stay in America.
8.Works at McDonalds, but has an illusionary pride of an IT expert with Sun-Micro systems.
9. Big fan of college football, eventhough he knows nothing about the game.
10. Drives a BMW with McDonalds' salary.
11. Has a VIP membership with the neighboring Porno Video store.
12. Thinks American Beer isn't a beer at all; prefers Corona or Heineken.
13. Goes to a community college, thinks his college is better than Harvard/MIT.
14. He knows the easy way to graduate is to pay instate tuition (so marrys a ugly fat smelly white woman for green card).
15. Works a DJ (dish jockey), but he tells home that he is an mechanical Engineer.

All I will say to you is that's just too much generalization. You haven't met the right Nepali Guy yet. There are some who doesn't fall in any of those 15 categories.

Mr.Funny guy,
You are may be that nepali guys, but you did not meet me so you have not idea what is really nepali guy. You should shut your mouth and try to be a good nepali.your 15 points did not touch me . I compare all points but i got 0 result.
so the decision is that yo should shut your mouth and try to out from your 15 points.

I haven't met any Nepalese who works in Micky Ds till now. I have almost lived in this country for four years now. Well even if they do, I am proud of them atleast they are not selling drugs.

How about this: fifteen OTHER ways to identify a Nepali Dude:
1. Wears a shirt from GAP, slacks from JCrew, shoes from Roots.
2. Sticks with Levis Jeans, which he thinks are the best in quality, but not necessarily to just 501 models.
3. Likes to feast on Momo parties, as well as daal-bhaat parties, as well as shrimp cocktail receptions, as well as prime ribs and fille mignon.
4. Loves Chinese dish, absolutely enjoys Pani Puri, and is equally satisfied with La Madeliene breakfast.
5. Could look like an East Asian, but also could look like an Indian, speaks fluent English with little bit of Nepali flavor, which he is proud of because that is his identity.
6. Treats Indians with respects, does not call them "dhoti," and partakes on good Indian movies and paan-parag when he can.
7. Goes to gym regularly, keeps fit, does not necessarily have six-pack, but also does not have a pot belly.
8. Works at a multi-national company as an IT executive, and takes pride on his achievements.
9. Big...huge...fan of college football, especially of his alma mater, and understands the game thoroughly.
10. Drives Honda with BMW salary.
11. Has Airmiles card, Grocery store card, Community library card, Blockbuster card. But not Porn store card.
12. Does not drink beer, prefers wine, especially Cabarnet Sauvignon from vintage years.
13. Went to a good school, but not necessarily an Ivy League, and thinks his academic career was just as fun and fruitful as it would've been had he gone to Harvard/MIT.
14. He knows that he graduated with hard work and positive attitude. Has a future wife in mind, who is neither ugly, nor fat, nor smelly. Does not have to worry about green card because his merits have made him marketable in any part of the world.
15. Worked as a dish jockey while in school to make few bucks. Is not ashamed of menial work he has done, for he knows it is better than stealing other people's money. And now does dishes at home.

FunnyBone, some of your Nepali litmus tests are absolutely correct. However, I believe you haven’t met enough Nepalese people to generalize their traits and daily routine.
I strongly agree with following:
******
6. Hates Indians, calls them "dhoti," but loves everything Indian from movies to paan-parag.
7 Develops a pot belly within 6 months of stay in America.
12. Thinks American Beer isn't a beer at all; prefers Corona or Heineken.
Opps, only 3!!! Rests are bullcrap!! I can add couple of more in your list:
16. Rents two bedroom apartment and share with at least 4 people.
17. Prefers drinking plain water instead of any other drinks with daal bhat.
18. Printers at home barely work. Print at work or school.
19. Drives Honda or Toyota.
Now it's your turn!

One thing I don't understand is why is there so much rage against nepali people. Why are they always trying to put the other person down?

A mix of Sangay & YYY would probably fit my genralization of a Nepali in US. However, FunnyBone is right.. in the worst case scenario........

Aeee,
I don't know what generation ko nepalis you ppl are
khoi, maybe i am a stopped clock(but even a stopped clock is right twice a day re kya ;).....for me there are few very special ways to distinguish a nepali
*when i try to envision nepal ma aaune tourists, i still think all of them are kuires ;)
*when chilling out with nepalis here, the money issue never comes up......unlike our amrikan brothers who start dividing the bill into parts and try to bring calculus in dinner table!
*I still look up in the sky when the plane passes by ;)
LAST BUT NOT LEASTTTTT!!
*I still enjoy nepalis exclaming in bliss " aaja mero "HAPPY" BIRTHDAY"
aroo pani thiyo..my brain cells have died out :(
Long live Nepali Way!!!

Funnybone, if you had posted your jargons under the humor section, it would have made people laugh. If that's what you had intended here, I think you missed the bulls eye. After all, you awaited too long to cut and paste it.
Folks! it's not Funnybone's own creation. So, stop giving him credits. Those who oppose, take it as a joke that couldn't make you giggle.

Looks a bit oriental? WTF? I don't look like that. Me confused for middle easterner. Not all ethnic groups are like that. Go back to Nepal and find it out yourself. It's true that Indians think all Nepalis are Chinese + Indian mixies. That ain't true. Perhaps you look like that and you come up with this nonsense.

There are two sides of a coin, and two ways to look at the same thing. Although it is not necessarily a bad thing, one thing I noticed among some people from Nepal and that region is they think they have become extra smart after coming to the US. They tend to show this extra knowledge in many ways: by participating in regional functions in activities where the level of their excellence is well below the average( well, still not a bad idea of learning things, and growing up, I agree). They recite some shit poems and consider themselves a master poet. They remember dignitary figures from Nepal and effectively are making fun of them, although quite likely unintentially. What I have come to see here in the US is a creation of layered groups sustained by upholding one another's head; to a new comer then they would look like a group of dignitaries. This sounds more like a marketing strategy than a cultural strategy: advertise your product so much that the rest of the competing products disappear from vision, although the rest are not necessarily of bad quality! Have you guys noticed this in the recent award ceremony in DC, or was it only only me!
Some of us love reciting "Udyashya ke linu? Udi chhunu chandra ek!" The next thing we do is hold up our neck and assume that there are nobody from Nepal like us!
Also I see a marked division in Nepali communities by regions and castes. This is probably a reflection of the division Nepalis are plagued with back home.
Well, I am probably wrong, i do wish so, but this is very much in contrast to many foreign communities here. I've not heard of such thing from people from a vibrant country like China at all, or have I been deef? These Chinese are good at showing the results .. how far have they come along in economy (God they gave us 100s of millions of grants), in sports ( Olympics) health, technologies etc. Not a doubt that they have a high level of sense of literature. ... But then I contend myself by remembering there are ways to look at a thing!
But don't think only Nepalis are like this ... a lot from the subcontinent do so too! It might suit the dhotis, because somehow they have managed to keep themselves a distinct name in scholarly fields at least. We Nepalis have nothing but Mt.Everest and we are proud of ourselves! Again there are two sides of a coin!

Whats wrong with these anyway?
1. Swayambhu/everest Tees are better than "condom ad" tees or "yo momma is b***h" Tees. By the way sometimes even best TUXes don't make the man.
2. levi's 501 is expensive sh!t. It's better than your GAP that you bought in some thrift store or garage sale for freakin' $2.
3. Now whats wrong with Momo parties? What is so disgusting about momo's? If someone thinks momo feast is bad, that just proves his/her narrow mind. Stupid.
4. Whole world eats chinese food. Everybody likes dumpling and Lo-mein. It's not sin if some nepali dude tries it. Do you mean everyone who eats dumpling and lo-mein is Nepali? what the F?
5. Me? Looks like Spanish, Speaks with a New Yorker Accent. Know what I mean? Get life, get out of that Lowlife trash-talking bunker that you are living in. You need some fresh air.
6. There is a difference between people and things, Right?
7. Whats wrong with pot belly? by the way its my belly. You don't have to worry about it. My belly is my PROPERTY. no trespassin'. My belly is none of your business. Its like goate beard. I like it, i keep it, i don't like it, i work out hard and get rid of it. You've got problem with that?
8. What's wrong with working in McDonalds? Do you have illusion of being IT expert? That illusion you are talking' aobut is product of your brian. Maybe you work in McDonalds and have an illusion of being IT expert. Please don't generalize. Don't compare your illusion with everybody else.
9. Poor Nepali guys. They can't even watch sports. They have to become victim of some jealous arsehole. Who is such a stupid to sit in front of TV for freakin' 4 hours and watch the game if he/she doesn't know a s hit about it? Maybe funny bone does that. BY the way Talking about NFL, go Giants.
10. One can drive BMW on Mc's salary. But be specific, which model, which year BMW you are talkin' about. You see, used car's are cheaper. By the way, haven't you seen those American kids who work in McD's and drive sooped up cars? where you from? Somewhere from noman's land?
11. Hahaha.. now watchin' porno has become a sin.
12. Thats why Heineken is the #1 beer in the world. Haven't tasted it yet? i know its expensive than those cheap beer you buy every night. But try Heineken once in a while. It's worth it.
13. Community colleges are better. They are small, everybody knows you. They take a good care of you. Harvard/MIT? nobody knows you there. Whats the use of going harvard if you end up getting D's in all the classes??? dopehead.
14. You have to give up something to get something. Marrying ugly fat white woman is not a sin. Actually, one gives life to those women who had never imagined they would get married in their life. For them, getting married is dream come true as green card is for us. Every body knows how life is miserable with out g-card.
15. DJ is better than DS(dope seller)... and isn't DJ mechanical engineer? He plays with machine and gadgets. or is he electrical engineer? If you can wear white gap shirt and think you are tomcruise, or dresss up like britney and think you are britney spears, why can't we do the same thing?
By the way, funny bone, you are generalizing. I am also one of those nepali guys. Being a nepali guy, whatever i do is none of your business. If you are in USA, you must be familiar with "NONE OF YOUR F"KIN' BUSINESS". I grow belly, its mine, I watch prono, none of your business, i jack off, i play lotto, i go gamble, i bet on horse, i curse, i swear, i eat, i s hit, is none of your business. If you have problem, then its YOUR PROBLEM. You don't have to massage my belly, nor you have to wash my levi's.

No. 3 is very true. I do feast on momo parties. Better than feasting on some cheap frat keg and acting khuhire-nized.
Dumpling sucks .... I call it dumb-ling ..... no masala to accompany it ..... the black soup endearinly called soy-sauce hardly comapres to the hot, redgolveda ko achar ......
Despite working in McDOnalds (yes I do Riva), I don't drive a Mercedes.
Do go to community college. And yeah do think it's better than Harvard/MIT when it comes to honoring group responsibility and being less of a pompous.
Aba aru kay bhanu .... oye_chills ray bhaneko jastai. Nepali-ness rocks. And if that list of 15 isn't revised, many I fear will call houston with a problem ..... of nepali ID crisis
