Oakie Doke Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Let me find one... This is a cork hat... I bought one for Freddie just like this one... I love that you guys came up with the identical hat ... and that I own the same one: Can anyone say 'mass-produced tourist fodder'? They were originally to ward off flies, but if anyone wore one in public now, as so eloquently put: they'd look like tools... We have flyspray here now. I've eaten the cliché at lunchtime Cheese-sandwich...very dutch LOL! (jeez, your making me feel un-australian, I've been basically raised on dutch cliches), and you have the same themed-things as me: I've always wondered how my parents managed to get an entire matching dining-set, don't tell me it is in someway typically dutch? yup! kinda, there's butter too! I prefer cheese and cucumber sandwiches!! I am currently hooked on cucumber and tomato sandwiches ... such a perfect mix of taste and crunch ... *suddenly feels like a cucumber and tomato sandwich* Goldmember: "Austin powers father." Dr. Evil: "His what?" Number Two (Robert Wagner): "His fasha, Dr. Evil." Dr. Evil: "His farger? What's a farger?" Goldmember: "His father. Yeah, the father." Dr. Evil: "Yeah, Goldmember, I don't speak freaky deaky dutch. Okay, perve boy." Goldmember: "Father is dad. Dad is father." Dr. Evil: "Oh, his dad. Oh, his father." Goldmember: "Yes, I have a dutch accent. Isn't that weird?" Oooh nooo, this sounds like my mother. Frankly it can be rather embarrasing sometimes. And here's my Australia-cliche addition: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicole Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I dunno for Norway? xD I dunno for Estonia either. Only that lots of people think that Estonians are all cold and serious and not the kindest people. I don't remember where I read it but it was a foreigner talking about Estonians...something like "If you go and shake their hand they pull it away as quickly as possible. If you want to hug them, they run like the wind and stare angrily at you." And also that Estonians are pretty shy at first, but when they go crazy then they go CRAZY. I think it's not totally wrong though. But saying that all Estonians are like that is totally far fetched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosieLou Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Hmm... I suppose some people think that everyone from Wales walks round carrying lambs and wearing big black hats. We also eat a lot of leek soup and like rugby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martine Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 You all have quite a lot of cliché's about your own country, but what I also ment was: Do you have any cliché-thought about foreign countries? Like (and I am defenitly NOT saying they'r true!!) the french are arrogant, the belgiums aren't very bright, the italians are womanizers, the english are stiff, the chinese all look-a-like, etc etc. (Oops: I realized those things are all negative, sorry:blink: ) :naughty: Belgians aren't very bright? We say that about the Dutch. But we are always drunk of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm Dutch) That's certainly a thing thats not true... Well, I cant think of some cliches about other countries, but most people here think that they are all rich and like rap and bling and use drugs and stuff. Most people here think Belgians are stupid and eat chips a lot. I read somewhere that they think in other countries we cycle and steal bikes a lot. And all the other things AMP said of course. Well, let me make this clear: I don't like cheese that much, I'm not a junk, nobody I know wears clogs, including myslef, I don't live in a windmill, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lollipop_monkey Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 LETS SEEWe live in Igloos. All of us go eh?????? it snows all year round.... Our mascots are Bob and Doug Mackenzie ( although that would be funny) We say "aboot" Take off, hosehead. You forgot about the fact that Canadians don't have cars so we take dogsleds to get places, how we eat maple syrup all day, watch hockey 24/7 and keep moose and beavers as pets. I dunno for Norway? xD Clearly, being from Norway, you are in fact a Viking who farms Reindeer and wears one of these: Oh, and everyone in Norway is blonde with blue eyes. No exceptions.

Hmm I never heard of belgians calling the dutch dumb, but, a big cliché around here is that they are "miserly" 'gierig' and are very loud... But the last thing is just a fact compared to us belgians the dutch are just very loud, no point in denying that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haeschen02 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 We Germans are very well organised. And Germany as a whole consists only of Bavaria. We have no holidays apart from the Oktoberfest and we wear Knickerbockers and Dirndls all day and only eat Sauerkraut with Weißwurst. Which brings me again to the point that Germany only consists of Bavaria . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
