DING DING DING! Greengoop just won the first question of the season!

Greengoop: 1

Question 2: Pirates were quite hostile and violent people. Nowadays when we refer to such-minded people, we can call them derogatory names such as "vandals". Where does this term come from? Why do we call people vandals or certain things to be "vandalized" when they're intentionally broken?

I don't require a long answer of any sort, the point will go to the first person that explains to me what vandals were and/or what they were known for.

Presumably, Vandals are people who purposefully damage things and are known for… damaging things

could be another meaning but that’s what I know

Nice try but there is a historical reason for why such people are called "vandals". ;)

Nope and nope, but Vlad the Impaler is an interesting figure nonetheless. The Vandals "broke" something that was very great and beautiful at the time. I imagine this question will not take as long to answer because of the amount of French users on this forum. (no, they were not French)

No and I haven't heard of any black diamond so you taught me something just now. The event I'm referring to happened a long, long time ago.

If we’re talking old France I’d assume it’d be maybe 1000AD?

No and France was part of a different country back then.

You're right on the money with that year, it's sometime close to that date.
