Amish Secrets for Keeping Bank Accounts Fat and Happy

Calling All Outsiders English

The Amish have a unique way of referring to outsiders—they call them “English,” and it’s not about the language. This tradition dates back to their early history when they first started separating from mainstream society. Over time, they stuck with the term “English” to describe anyone outside their community, and it’s a label that’s stood the test of time.

Why “English”? Well, calling someone “American” didn’t make sense since the Amish are American too. So, whether someone’s visiting from France or Zimbabwe, if they’re not Amish, they’re still called that term. It’s one of those quirky traditions that just never went away.
