How to irritate Europeans with one sentence

  1. If you said “las malvinas son argentinas” to almost anyone in England, they wouldn’t have the first clue what you’re talking about as we’re all so terrible with learning any other language.

    Even translated, to be honest I’m not sure the falklands means a huge deal to most English people under 45.

    I think you’re probably right about the Scottish comment though! 😉

  2. Surely you’ve got to get a North/South Cyprus one in there. Too easy. Just put something like ” Do you like visiting Turkish Cyprus?” in the Southern box.

    I’m probably going to get downvoted to hell for even joking about this by the Cypriots here 🙂

  3. Tell a Spaniard the water sucks and they’ll blow their top, because …

    “We have the best water in the world here in Spain!!!”

  4. I think the correct question would be: How can a smug US citizen offend Europeans with one sentence?

  5. my friend went to usa twice and when she told them she was spanish, from Spain, they just thought she was Latino, from South America. It’s funny ngl

  6. Russia: not only are we indeed the successor state to the Golden Horde but remnants of it still have autonomy status within the Russian Federation (eg Tatarstan).

  7. Funnily enough, Spain along with Italy, Portugal, France and some other are actually the real Latin countries

  8. Being from the canary islands, even spanish people from the peninsula have confused me with a latino

  9. Better ways to offend Spaniards:

    * Gibraltar is part of the UK
    * You must love bullfighting
    * I tried paella with chorizo the other day, it was delicious
    * Catalonia/Basque Country is not Spain
    * Omelette without onion, please
    * I love Cruzcampo

  10. There’s a video in which Americans are asked to name 3 countries outside of America. The most common responses are: Canada, Europe and Africa. How is their geography that bad?!

  11. And we call everybody “Moro” from Morocco to Pakistan, and call Native Americans “Indio”, and “Chino” is whoever has slanted eyes, and so on and so forth.

  12. When playing online if people realize I’m from Spain they start saying things like Taco or some shit, then I’m like: bitch learn some geography, Taco = Mexican, Mexico not Spain. Hope you know.

  13. I’m from Spain and I don’t think that question would bother us at all.

    Some ignorant generalizations about the ‘siesta’ are actually quite annoying. That’s how you could irritate us.
