When the world is descending into chaos, the first thing we do, for better or worse, is make memes about it. Since the UK’s infamous vote to leave the EU in 2016, Brexit has given us a wealth of material. It also inspired talks of France’s Frexit, and a Dexit by Germany (Deutschland), the latter of which has fallen into such obscurity that its political meaning is now completely eclipsed in search engines by the downsizing of the Pokedex in new Pokemon games.
Could these campaigns have flourished with catchier names? Probably not, for reasons that are becoming clearer and clearer. But just in case, the internet’s punsters are parodying Brexit with suggestions for names that the rest of Europe can use if they decide they’ve had enough.

Yes it is. So funny! I’m part Sweden and will be using this when I leave a room from now on.

This one sucks. It should using English be Swexit alternatively Sverut if using Swedish.

Those who feared that Brexit would lead to a number of copycat campaigns that would bring the EU crashing down actually got a surprise. It turns out that since the referendum passed, the three-and-a-half-year-long Brexit has been such a headache that even Europe’s most reactionary parties have begrudgingly gone quiet about leaving the EU, afraid of bringing similar humiliation to their countries.

Although they are already calling this Frexit as there have been rumours they are next

I think Fremont is better since it uses part of the country’s name in it.

Oooops, I'm sorry for reposting. I didn't see it posted the first two times.
As far as the general public, surveys of citizens of 10 of the largest EU member states showed that favorable views of the EU abruptly increased the year after the Brexit referendum. These results suggest that people who were on the fence saw the UK’s revolving door of politicians struggling to disentangle the country from all the agreements that they had taken for granted and thought, “Hmmm... the EU is alright, actually.”

We'll be kicked out before we leave voluntarily given all the corruption that's been exposed over the last month. Brussels are not happy with our Government behaving like mobsters. They've already cut our electricity inter-connector with Sicily because they gave us 3 million euros to build a power station and half the money went into high level ministers and dodgy businessmen's pockets instead.

Hadn't heard that one before! I like it! Had only heard nexit until now. I like hollandoei better than the name of the picture. Though foreigners wouldn't know the word doei. But I like yours!

Most Dutch people would vote for a Nexit if given the chance. None of the advantages that were promised became reality: No uniform prices for all goods, (electronics and cars are still much cheaper in Germany) No uniform taxing system, the Netherlands still pays more to the EU than it receives back. So the Dutch subsidize the corrupt countries which refuse to get their act together like Greece Italy and Portugal.

Hopefully, we won’t be seeing any of these campaigns in world news any time soon, but here are some punny names that might ensue if the EU’s remaining 27 members (Norway, not an EU member to this day, has always said Noway) went solo… in English-language news, that is. If you have any good puns in your language, you are encouraged to share them in the comments.

I think I already told this story- my grandma came to Canada during WW2 and kept telling people "I'm Hungary" and they kept giving her food... her vocabulary has vastly grown since then ;)

In Austria the term Öxit as the name of a hypothetical exit from the EU has been used so often it already has its own Wikipedia page (German only). Even though Wikipedia claims otherwise this word is well understood by Austrians.

What happens if, as many predict, Belgium splits into Flanders and Wallonia? We might have Flan-desert and/or Farewell-onia.

If that atrocity happened, it won't take many years to see the effects of that mistake. As long as people continue to vote for mindless Nazis (VB/NVA), they'll never see clearly. The current political impasse say enough. It's like a marriage: why try to work it out if you can be dramatic and selfish and call for a divorce despite the consequences for the whole family?...

You know this was before brexit? Only the Greek weren't so easily led by right-wing lunatics and press.

Thank you for your remark! This post is funny, but of course, what's happening is awful. In a few years, Britain will be complaining to get back in the EU. Times never change, when something's not going as wished, it's always somebody's "fault"... People blame the EU, Muslims, Jews, Native Americans, black people, Japanese, foreigners in general, women. I know some people will find I'm generalizing, but as someone who needs to know about history for my job, I'm appalled by the stupidity of the politicians and how people follow them blindly. I mean: Hitler, Johnson, Trump, Bolsonaro, Netanyahu, Khomeini, Putin, Salvini, the Saudi king.... Really? I just hope everything will get better! We need a new Gandhi, Martin Luther King or Lincoln. Have a nice day, everyone!
