Whatever happens, I think Goanet is going to add to the already-rich vocabulary in which Goa is thought of and described. Some terms I recall from this cyberspace:
* The Banana Republic: Principal Tony de Sa's description of his village, Moira (also called the Village of Wise Fools by I-forget-who ... was it Teo?). * Gonadians, though it would have been this hack's claim to fame (in the history section, it's clear who first posted this first on one of the top-ten most visited sites in the world, never mind if it wasn't my own original idea) ... but now it is declared orphaned! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonadians After all, "you can help Wikipedia change the world!" * Lusostalgia: Patrice Reimens' Dutch bias showing while describing the saudades about the "good ol days" among a certain generation of Goans.
