Brexit

On NPR this morning, some reporters were saying people were speculating about the possible effects of the "Brexit" on Netherlands and France, using the terms "Nexit" and "Frexit".  One correspondent from Germany then said, "You won't be seeing a Gerxit", which brought a chuckle from another.

As I recall, when Greece was threatening a "Grexit", there was talk about the domino effect such a move would have and worry about Spain, whose economic situation is similarly poor, making a move to leave.  If they did, we could possibly then be talking about a "Sexit".

But, of course, we'll never talk about a Gerxit, even though they're the Gerx in the deal, because they're doing quite well under the EU, and pretty much running it, thank you very much.



How about a Czechxit?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
