They told us not to believe everything on tv, now we have to tell them not to believe everything online and on tv
The one bragging about the US going to the moon probably hasn't even been to another country
Fun fact: Cyclone/Hurricane is not a language thing. Cyclones, hurricanes and typhoons are named differently to distinguish their forming location (N Atlantic + NE Pacific / Indian + S Pacific/ NW Pacific respectively)
Ma'm would you like the pizza cut in six or eight slices? Six, if course! I could never eat EIGHT SLICES of pizza!
Woop! Woop! That's the sound of da police. Hoot! Hoot! That's the sound of da beast.
Grew up in Germany. Used to climb the walls of my hallway by pushing my feet/hands up against it. Tried that sh*t when I moved to US and immediately put both my feet through the wall. Dad chased me out of the house cuz he was so angry.
Bonus points for calling it the same name as a globally-popular sport you're bad at
the settlers were honoring their homeland by naming places as they did.
Now I have the theme song from Team America World Police stuck in my head.
I'm bilingual but here's my take as to why most Americans don't speak more than one language... for the most part anyhow. When you live in a non-English speaking country the logical second language choice that you can use virtually anywhere is easy. It's English. When you learn English you get a chance to practice it, to consume it (TV, etc). When I learned French and then Spanish in school as a kid... where did I get a chance to practice it? I'm truly curious if this applies to the English speaking provinces of Canada, the UK, NZ, Australia etc. Unrelated story- I was doing business in Montreal years ago and my Canadian French was not great. I started out the meeting by saying, "I just want everybody to know that I'm bilingual". "Ah, bon..." they nodded in unison approvingly. "So we can have our meeting in either English... or Greek". They laughed. I got some credibility... and then they defaulted into French pretty quickly thereafter of which my host helped me interpret.
American late night talk shows joke about Biden being old literally every time they air. I don't think Charles' age is on anyone's mind, because no-one even talks about Charles, period.
Imagining the faces in the hospital when you carry a bag with dirt and try to explain to the Italian doctors.
If it's a solar farm, can't they just plant some seeds and grow a crop of new suns?
what is wrong with you, you risked your sanity to challenge their hockey supremacy, and if it went on into the winter, you would be toast. just imagine an entire army skating towards you, swinging axes, with the children riding moose, and swinging hockey sticks. that is enough to make a russian drink even more than they normally do. The charge of the ice brigade is one that few will survive, and few of those will forget.
Sorry, but there are places here in the SE USA that are so fricken hot and humid that AC is desperately needed. I lived in Washington State most of my life with 96 degree temps and no AC...but just about when you hit Kansas, there is a wall of humidity that just makes you sweat constantly. So grateful for AC.
Random trivia for the day: French fries were not originally in France nor the United States...they were made in grease (I'll show myself out)
No, actually most of the plot of civil war was about the s**t they had done on Sacovia ( made up country ) and South África, and Avengers 2 is set in Korea or Taiwan ( don't recall now )
I went to the NE of America for a holiday. Yes, the food is either very sweet or very blande. But also yes, Americans were super nice. I was pushing my 1 year old in a pram and everyone was helping me with doors. If I looked lost people would help me to get where I needed to be. Great place to be a tourist anyway
Glad that you enjoyed your visit. Next time, reach out to me, seriously. We have amazing food in New England because we are a true melting pot. Sure you can find stuff that is too sweet or bland but that could be anywhere. If you went to any chain restaurants, I would agree 100%. We don't go to any chains ourselves. I've had terrible food in France and an amazing dinner in North Carolina... it all depends on where you go and who is taking you there even. But please come back!
Load More Replies...I laughed and I cringed alternately. Aren't we roasting the US a bit too much? Just sayin'
Much of these seem like it's America roasting themselves how they see other countries roasting them. Which may explain the extremities of some of the "jokes".
Load More Replies...Oh marvellous, so this is your fault??? You jinxed us by praising BP about the US Shaming posts and now we're bound to have the 'horrible to be a parent post tomorrow' now that you've mentioned them!! 😜 I hope not though...
