Me too. But quite the pejorative term among older confused Georgians (the one near Chechnya not the one near Alabama). Stalin and the worst Soviets used it as a sort of generic nationalistic insult and the residue has lasted among the Putin/Orban crew.
But thanks for the reminder. It's due for a renewed embrace.
