So, it turns out, not everybody knows every country's stereotypes and peculiarities.
I understand.
Wikipedia: Haggis: the Haggis is a small, three-legged mammal native to Western Spain, where it is seldom seen and considered critically endangered in its original habitat. Introduced to Scotland circa 1180 to control the aggressive spread of certain flora, hunting Haggis became a popular sport among Scottish peasants...
Thank you for the clarification, I thought it might have been Canada.
Paul Edward Haggis (born March 10, 1953) is a Canadian screenwriter, film producer, and director of film and television. He is best known as screenwriter and producer for consecutive Best Picture Oscar winners Million Dollar Baby (2004) and Crash (2005), the latter of which he also directed.
Is this a joke I'm too dense to get or is this just plain bullshit? What I found on Wikipedia was this:
Haggis (Scottish Gaelic: taigeis) is a savoury pudding containing sheep's pluck (heart, liver, and lungs), minced with chopped onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and cooked while traditionally encased in the animal's stomach though now an artificial casing is often used instead.
I don't even think a three-legged mammal exists. However I did find this: (emphasis mine)
Wild haggis (given the humorous taxonomic designation Haggis scoticus) is a fictional creature of Scottish folklore, said to be native to the Scottish Highlands. It is comically claimed to be the source of haggis, a traditional Scottish dish that is in fact made from the innards of sheep.
But obviously that's something different as it's native to Scotland and is just fictional.
Is that a thing in Morroco? That's pretty cool. As an American I imagine most of the world scoffs at my tea habits, but one specific brand of Mint is my fav tea, and I cannot tell why it is so different from other mint teas.
I have very little wanderlust, and those hot pools in Iceland are my first goto if I travel internationally for funnsies, but ok now I wanna go to Morroco for the teaaaaaa. (Like most countries, it also looks awesome for many other reasons)
Mint tea is basically an inseparable part of Moroccan culture, literally everyone here drinks it (except me, I'm not a fan of tea), so... please try it and see if you enjoy it.
My friend had a Moroccan roommate who used to make it whenever I came over. Not my favorite tea, I prefer black tea the English way, but still very good.
What if my local patron saint is the tree octopus, but of course in the grand scheme of things the flying spaghetti monster governs all and must be respected accordingly... is that close enough to flying squid sanctification lol?
Actually NZ is known for 'Sounds', but IIRC technically some of the famous Sounds are actually fjords - it's a difference about whether the mouth has an underwater debris hump at the end or something like that.
In Argentina at most games the fans are only allowed to sit behind the goals. If they sit any closer they will try to kill each other. I used to know a guy who went down to Argentina to visit he girlfriend's family. While he was down there he asked if they could go to a match. Apparently the GF's Uncle took a deep breath, let it slowly and said "Yes we can go, but no women no children. When he went there were riot Police standing by.
I would guess you never hear on the international news because no care about South America.
I actually know quite a bit about Argentinian football. What you're describing was either a long time ago or not referring to the first division. The only match that would remotely come close to that would be a Boca Juniors VS River Plate match...
This was about a decade ago. I don't know what league, or where in the country it was. I have had a few other people tell similar stories from a few other people. But that was the one with the most detail. Though I am hearing this all second hand so sadly I can't verify it.
"The media" is implying that you're only familiar with the media from your country and/or what you find in the majorly English-speaking side of the internet I assume? When I think of football hooligans, England is probably the last one I think about.
The original comment was inspired by this article that claimed that 62% of pcs in Romania run pirated software(down from 86% in 1996) and by my personal experience
I was going more off of the "not like that" title - what answers would fit into two words that would engender that response.
That said, Antarctica is actually a brilliant answer, since not only is pretty much nobody from there, it is also merely one word so wrong on that count as well:-).
I'm Belgian. I definitely agree that our pils isn't the best, but when I think about our beer culture I don't think about pils. I'm planning to go to Czechia some time, I've only ever had Belgian and German pils.
Yep, that's why I said it was subjective. Latter part of the comment was just a joke. I've tried beers from all over and I've had great ones from all over. I just think Romania is a great country for beer because even the cheapest/worst Romanian beer is still better than the average populat beer (at least imo) and then there's tons of craft beers of different styles.
Pretty much everyone except people from "America", that is, the US.
Well that is a broad generalization spoken from a place of ignorance. I promise you that the vast majority of Americans (that is, people from the U.S.) know about the Americas (that is, the continents).
That being said, colloquially, the term "America" generally refers to the United States. And that's true most everywhere, not just in the U.S.
Most people will say "North", "South", or "Americas" (plural) when talking about the continents.
Language is a complicated and very fluid social construct. What means one thing somewhere might mean something different somewhere else, even if the same language is spoken in both places. Both usages of the word are correct, and it's both the responsibility of to the speaker and listener to understand each other. It's confusing, but that's how things are in the real world. Of course you can say "America" to refer to the continents, and if that's what's dictated by social contract where you're from, then more power to you. I'm just saying that you can't judge an entire nation of people based off the colloquial usage of a word (not that you were, I'm referring to the person I responded to).
well tbf 'From America' actually fulfills the country in 2 words request because US Americans are the only Americans egocentric enough to claim the term 'America' for themselves

I was going more off of the "not like that" title - what answers would fit into two words that would engender that response.
That said, Antarctica is actually a brilliant answer, since not only is pretty much nobody from there, it is also merely one word so wrong on that count as well:-).

Subjective. Also wrong. Best beer is from Romania, actually. You're German? Belgian? Czech?

As a non-Czech, the answer is Czech
gentooer@programming.dev · 1 pts · 2y
I'm Belgian. I definitely agree that our pils isn't the best, but when I think about our beer culture I don't think about pils. I'm planning to go to Czechia some time, I've only ever had Belgian and German pils.

Oregon, actually, but we can get pedantic about flavors and styles.
nyctre@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Yep, that's why I said it was subjective. Latter part of the comment was just a joke. I've tried beers from all over and I've had great ones from all over. I just think Romania is a great country for beer because even the cheapest/worst Romanian beer is still better than the average populat beer (at least imo) and then there's tons of craft beers of different styles.

Pretty much everyone except people from "America", that is, the US.
Hint: People from Brazil are Americans.
Sorry if I missed the "/s" in your post
KrankyKong@lemmy.world · -1 pts · 2y
Well that is a broad generalization spoken from a place of ignorance. I promise you that the vast majority of Americans (that is, people from the U.S.) know about the Americas (that is, the continents).
That being said, colloquially, the term "America" generally refers to the United States. And that's true most everywhere, not just in the U.S.
Most people will say "North", "South", or "Americas" (plural) when talking about the continents.
onion@feddit.de · 3 pts · 2y
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americas
Click on the language button, you'll see the continents are called singular America in most languages (Spanish, French, German, etc...)
Afaik people in South America tend to refer to the continents as America as well, and say "united stadians" to people from the US
KrankyKong@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Language is a complicated and very fluid social construct. What means one thing somewhere might mean something different somewhere else, even if the same language is spoken in both places. Both usages of the word are correct, and it's both the responsibility of to the speaker and listener to understand each other. It's confusing, but that's how things are in the real world. Of course you can say "America" to refer to the continents, and if that's what's dictated by social contract where you're from, then more power to you. I'm just saying that you can't judge an entire nation of people based off the colloquial usage of a word (not that you were, I'm referring to the person I responded to).

But you go ahead and keep hating on people who live in the U.S. No need to think for yourself.
