“Where are you from? No, I mean originally”

I can have so much fun with that question! Esp. because in German (“Wo kommst du her?”) I can logically answer “from work” first, then my home, then I ask them to specify what they mean by originally. By that point they are usually sufficiently humbled.

Some keep on stumbling not realizing that the words they choose don’t matter, it’s their attitude I resist.

And if someone asks me that question before asking my name I refuse to answer anyhow.
