Stop acting like a noble lion than you aren't. Your country have past the last millenium to doing coward and perfidious moves during wars.

Great thread idea. I imagine most of ours are fairly similar to American ones though.

Honestly not sure if these count but they seem relevant enough:

Someone that gives you a gift and then later asks for it back or wants payment.

When two people on a date pay their bills separately rather than have the man/woman pay for the whole thing.

To fuck up, it means to do something in a Russian way literally.

I'm sure there's more...

We also have Swedish fish candy, they're from Canada, not sure why they are called that Tbh.

- "Macelleria Messicana" i.e Mexican butchery, to denote an episode of extreme violence.
- "Alle calende Greche"(Literally "to the Greek Calends"), from the Latin saying "ad Kalendas Graecas", is used as a synonymous of "never happening", that's because the Calends were a Latin only tradition.

>>53973841
>English sauce - shoyu

Are you talking about soy sauce? That's not very English, do you mean Worcester sauce? I think they call that English sauce in Spain because no Spaniard can pronounce the real name

>>53968637
>that one kid in high school who was half german, half mexican

We called him "Beaner-Schnitzel"

"It's like a Spanish village for me" - I don't understand

"To disappear like an Englishman" - mostly self-explanatory, it means someone has disappeared really sneakily in the best possible moment

"Swedish three" - threesome (yes, really)

"He drinks like a Dane" - a drunkard

"Look at something like a Bulgarian into a trashing-machine" - someone who looks very confused

That's all I remember at the moment, I'll return if I think of more.

When you get a B+ in school it's called an "Asian F" because Asian parents are really hard on their kid's grades.

"Dutch Oven" is when you fart while in bed, and trap the fart under the covers.

"Australian kiss" is to give someone head, because it's just a kiss down under.

"French kiss" is to give someone tongue while making out.

Those are all I can think of. Burgerstan is a self absorbed country. We don't talk about other places too much unless it's about our troops blowing up sandniggers.

Lol'd so hard at all of these.

>-it's a bit czech

Can you explain these ones?

>>53976408
>Can you explain these ones?


not sure where it originates from...

You'd use it for example, when you see a shitty, fucked up chair, that's leaning on one side:
"this chair looks czech", "this is a czech chair"

or for example, when someone is swerving across all the lanes on a highway:
"he's driving czechlike"

>>53973005
More like "smokes like a syrian"

>>53976408
>>53976775
also, within this context, the word "czech" is grammatically formed as if it was a quality, a characterisic, rather than a nationality

>the english have landed

>>53976775
>>53976934
Yeah I understood.

It kind of sounds like "shitty" in English which would be used in a similar way I was just curious as to the origin of it.

>>53976408
>>53976775
This expression comes from the time around the fall of the Berlin Wall when (or perhaps even earlier) when Slovenes started encountering Czechs on Croat beaches and seaside tourist camps. The Czechs, fresh from behind the Iron Curtain, all stereotypically sported fashions that disgusted the westernized Slovenes - bowl cuts, white socks over sandals, grey T-shirts stretched over beer bellies. They were also known for uncritically and unabashedly engaging in consumerism, such as bringing a sixpack of Coca Colas to the beach in the daytime heat instead of water - but who other than a Czech (unused as they were to the Med climate) would go to the beach at midday anyway? And thus the historically positive image of Czechs, who had previously settled in Ljubljana and Maribor in small numbers as industrialists and artists, was tarnished for a time. But with Czechia's recovery from its communist isolation has seen the Czechs once again regarded with curiosity rather than mockery.

>>53977286
We still mock them in croatia for their ever present and consistent preventable death tolls every summmer.

>>53977548
They have a high death rate in our mountains, too. It has a lot to do with the fact they climb mountains in sandals or flip-flops, wearing clothes better suited for the beach and not bringing any supplies with them.
