Red Bones posted:I've never actually eaten sliders. Are they common in the US? How large are they normally, compared to a regular burger? How many would a person eat in one sitting? If you order them at a restaurant, do they all have different toppings, like a little sample selection of the different burgers on the menu? We'd love to tell you, but we have burger buttons and can only select 0-, 1.6-, 4-, 5.6-, or 8-ounce patties.

A Buttery Pastry posted:You're the only person I've seen claim that they used that title, rather than referring to the Franks. Information is pretty sparse overall by googling though, so I'm not saying you're wrong, but it wouldn't be the first time "Frank" was used as a more catch-all term rather than the old tribal group. Frank is absolutely the name they used for the people (including westerners more broadly, and Roman Catholics generally), and also the empire when it included the Western bits, but shifted to using King(dom) of Germany to refer to the state and it's ruler post-Otto. You can see the usage in the Alexiad, among other places

"Frank" is a word that really gets around. My cousin called me this slang last week, for example: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D9%81%D8%B1%D9%86%DA%AF%DB%8C#Urdu Etymology is fun

Just have every Empire named after the dynasty currently ruling it with -id at the end: eg Timurids, Ottomanids, Von Hapsburgids, Tudorids etc

It's not really a thing now but Φράγκος/Frank in Greek would've been a legitimate way to refer to western Europeans in my grandparents' generation.

A Buttery Pastry posted:So all this time the Byzantium super fans have pretended like they're the victims of a linguistic attack, when in fact they had started the conflict with a far worse naming. Paradox should include an option for naming Byzantium the Empire of Greece to balance the scales. I mean jokes aside the linguistic and academic attack by westerners were very real, and extremely unfounded. And not hard to understand the pain over it honestly, given that whole Fourth Crusade business.

If you order them at a restaurant, do they all have different toppings, like a little sample selection of the different burgers on the menu? Don’t know if this is a joke post but in case it’s not: Sliders aren’t the most common form of burger in the US but they’re widespread enough that almost everyone would be familiar with the term. There’s a popular fast food chain White Castle that specializes in only sliders. They’re about one fourth the size of a regular burger but often with a thinner patty. Both White Castle and fancier restaurants often offer a small selection of sliders with a number of toppings or sauces. A fancy restaurant entree might have 3 or 4 of them. White Castle sells them in packs of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 etc. A normal meal might be 5 of them, and “I’m drunk and it’s late at night” meal for me is a pack of 10.

A Buttery Pastry posted:But we just established that the Byzantines put that poo poo about the Kingdom of Germany in writing before any of that business, and their calling the HRE "Germany" was more unfounded than calling the ERE the Byzantine Empire. It's hard to feel sorry over this "disrespect" when the Byzantines dished out worse themselves. Westerners had been calling it The Empire of the Greeks since Charlemagne's day and the conception of translatio imperii, where the Pope and the Frankish emperor decided that actually they were the Romans now (no girls allowed). And calling the Ottonian HRE the Kingdom of Germany makes almost as much sense as anything else, it was very much a German ruled state at that point, admittedly one trying to impose it's will on various Slavic and Italian groups with varied degrees of success. Makes much more sense than what they were calling it at the time (the Roman Empire; with curiously few Romans in it), with Holy only tacked on a few centuries later.

I always thought it must've had something to do with like bars and being served by sliding them down to the customer. And since bars aren't mainly about food, they didn't serve a full-on burger.A Buttery Pastry posted:But we just established that the Byzantines put that poo poo about the Kingdom of Germany in writing before any of that business, and their calling the HRE "Germany" was more unfounded than calling the ERE the Byzantine Empire. It's hard to feel sorry over this "disrespect" when the Byzantines dished out worse themselves. I think there was some kind of legal kingdom of Germany at some point, but it's not really much known about or talked about, since its crown was kinda just massively superceded by the German king building up the whole Holy Roman Emperor title. The title king of Germany might've technically been formally part of the emperorship. But more broadly, most peoples and places, especially if they're important and well-known across multiple cultures pick up multiple names, and regardless of whether the people of Qushta want to call themselves the rightful heirs of Wulumu, some other people will still call them Ionian because of the Walhaz identity having spread and taken on meaning independently of the individual trail of sovereignty of the strongest state eventually springing from Urbs Aeterna. And of course all contemporaneous nomenclature becomes meaningless in modern contexts when looking back through the centuries at an era that all languages have warped or died in the time since then.

The title king of Germany might've technically been formally part of the emperorship. It mattered more when the HRE was at it's peak and ruling territories outside of Germany. A ruler would first be elected King of the Germans (later the title was changed to King of the Romans) and then later be crowned Emperor by the Pope (or not, if the Pope was pissed at the guy). After the Empire lost Italy and Burgundy it stopped mattering.
