In Germany we have “Mann aus Sachsen”, or man from Saxony. If a news article starts with these words, you instantly know it’s going to be some crazy (or sometimes crazy racist) shit. There’s even a community dedicated to this: [email protected]
I’m from Portugal and we are all crazy in here. Nobody really knows how things get done, nobody really runs the country - but we’re also not willing to allow others to run it! - we pick fights between two sides of the same village over bread, wine or how some dish is prepared and nobody really likes someother part of the country for the exact same reasons they get disliked back but somehow the lights are still on and still haven’t burned the house down.
Aussie here…
Florida just seems to be the Australia of the US. Huntsman spiders are invasive, and there’s lots of snakes and giant reptiles that can kill you.
Bulgaria has Pernik. A declining polluted mining town near Sofia which is infamous for people wearing (counterfeit) Adidas tracksuits, driving VW Golf, and settling their scores with long pieces of metal. Think Russian gopniks.
As a Bulgarian, I definitely did NOT expect to see Bulgaria and Pernik as a top comment.
In Hong Kong, “Hongkongers love working”
There’s a typhoon? We work.
There’s a rainstorm? We work.
There’s a political conflict? We work.
There’s an apocalypse? We’ll probably still go to work.So whenever people from other countries complain about work hours being too long or retirement age being raised, we just laugh at them. And then continue working.
Damn… sounds bleak
I’m waiting for an Aussie to enter the chat…
Queensland for the red necks or Darwin.
I would suggest that Darwin Man is kind of more similar to Florida man.
