    I find it very funny that at the core of the anglo psyche is a very strong self loathing of their own germanic origins.

      Whenever I hear dutch I have a brief moment where I think I’m having an aneurysm and am no longer able to recognise my own language. Then I realise it’s just dutch.

      I was once visiting a dutch friend and I was having a Skype chat with some family in Denmark. After the chat my dutch friends goes “ghk hgk ghk. That’s what you guys sound like.” He thought it was very funny until I reminded him that he spoke dutch.

          I knew it would be the kamelåså video. If we’re talking about scandinavian language funny videos I’m much more into øresunds-visan or Osten skal svømme!

    Norwegian rather than Dutch, but there’s a grocery store chain called MENY that’s advertising its single bananas with a sign that reads “SINGEL MEN LIKE GOD” — meaning “single but just as good”

    I was also at the library the other day, and I couldn’t help but wonder how a monolingual anglophone would react to the section signs looking like

    CW homophobic slur

    ←FАG — FАG→ — ←FАG — FАG→ — ←FАG — FАG BARN→

    In other words “nonfiction” and “nonfiction, children”

    And I apologize to our screenreader using comrades for any inconvenience that may have come from replacing Latin A with Cyrillic A, I was just worried that the slur filter would censor the word.
