I was thinking back the other day to when my dad met my Croatian landlady (of my old apartment).
For the heck of it, he said hello in Hungarian, and she did a double-take, but seemed cool with it, and always asked about my dad.
I now realize that that seemed weird - what Croatians know Hungarian? - but in retrospect, I realize he was establishing his Eastern/Central European street cred, where people like to know if you're from or your family was from that region, it means something to them.
