I'm attending a party later today, where the theme is "national stereotypes". Unfortunately, I was informed of this a little late for me to go out an buy/construct a costume so it'll have to be made from my wardrobe of rather standard fare. What national stereotypes do you think are funny? Offensive?

Yanks are fat and stupid.

Yanks are fat and stupid.

I'm neither :(

I'm neither :(

Perhaps dress as an Arab. I don't want to say they're stupid. But the costume could kick arse.

National... hmm...

You could go as a Canadian, and say "aboot" a lot. You could also show incredible disdain for whomever is playing the USA stereotype.

I'm neither :(

That's debatable. :wink:

You could not spend any money on a costume and go as a Scotsman.

The problem with that is, my accent is Glaswegian Scottish, and I'm incapable of doing any other. "Aboot" in my accent sounds like I'm threatening to knife someone (like all other words).

But then he would have to show up drunk.

drunk Irish, rude French, angry Russian, Italian mafia guy, Chinese woman driving with left blinker on 25 miles under the speed limit, poor Mexican looking for work, overly prim and proper English

I have a black suit, a black shirt and a red tie. I might go as a German in the guise of a member of Kraftwerk.

Poor Mexican could be quite easy to pull off. All you need to do is say ''señor'' a lot. *nod*

You mean you're not?

Also, totally go wearing a kilt, carrying bagpipes. And perhaps an axe.

Go dressed in....anything and get insanely drunk. Inform people afterwards that you were fulfilling there Irish stereotype.

you need a guy and a girl to pull of the Irish in high style. I went one year in a beater and mick cap and faced a bottle of whiskey all night, while my female friend walked around with a black eye, pregnant, baby in arm, and took a bottle of wine to the face.

Can we all say classy?

Only one bottle of whisky? Its a start I guess.

The alternative British stereotype is to buy as much Burberry as possible, top it lots of with lots of fake gold and a hearty dollop of 'innit'

And garlic? And an ezel and paint brush?

Missed the part about this being about stereotypes, and how those don't have to be true, didn't you?
Only one bottle of whisky? Its a start I guess.One magical bottle of whisky that somehow was perpetually full, despite me drinking it constantly. It did not end well, in true Irish style.

Nice. Cultivate yourself a love of potatoes and a hatred for the Brits and you'll fit right in here.

Wrong again.

We aren't describing each and every Englishman. They're stereotypes. Not all Frenchmen are rude, smoke cigarettes, and drink wine. Not all Mexicans stand around looking for trabajo. Not all Americans are fat, lazy, and stupid. We get it. You defy the British stereotypes.

Wear white trainer socks with non-European shoes (like brown or black), talk really loudly and carry around a Coke.

Nice. Cultivate yourself a love of potatoes and a hatred for the Brits and you'll fit right in here.

Done, and done.

So if every Irish American is a cop or is in the mob, does that mean that Ireland is populated 100% with cops and mobsters?

Wear white trainer socks with non-European shoes (like brown or black), talk really loudly and carry around a Coke.

Going for the ugly American? If so, it's better if you do white tube socks with sandals. And have a camera around your neck. And keep demanding that everyone speak English to you, and bitch about how rude everyone was in Paris.

Yep, cos most brits are intelligent.

Not 100%. We've had an influx of Eastern European immigrants recently, so its more like 98-99% cops and mobsters.

We don't wear tube socks:P. It's not so much ugly American as American in general. I love hearing stereotypes, good and bad. I think they are quite amusing. Those are just some of the more common ones I hear. Oh! And smile all the time.

Americans aren't the ones known for the cameras in my experience. It's the Germans and Asians.

Not 100%. We've had an influx of Eastern European immigrants recently, so its more like 98-99% cops and mobsters.

But both cops and mobsters are hiring, so we'll get back to 100% soon.

Go there drunk, curse a lot and be a jerk. That's basically the Finnish stereotype.

So yeah, it's a bit like the Irish stereotype.

True. American tourists tend to get the Hawaiian shirt going, though.

Hey, nothing wrong with a Hawaiian shirt. In Spain. In the winter.

Nothing at all!

You defy the British stereotypes.

Whilst I agree with the rest of your post, British =/= English.

Yes, I know. But the stereotypes overlap, and I'm far too hung over to be consistant.

Yep, cos most brits are intelligent.

Whoops - you just inadvertently lived up to the English stereotype of self-deprecation!

Hah, the cops aren't. The government can't afford to pay any more.

You need to collaborate with two other people.

Have one of your accomplices throw a penny between you and the other one.

Then, fight the other one to the death over the penny.

SUPER DOUBLE EDIT: He could also search the other guests for weapons. :p

Beret, pallet, brushes, smock, and a baguette made my "outraeeegous Freanch artiste" costume for Halloween several years ago. It's the one costume I could ask for ladies to strip w/ a staight face... :P

"Madam I wish to paint your picture. Please remove ze clothz - zis is ART!"

I seem to have lost my beret. I've been as a Frenchman before, though. Carrying onions is one sure way not to get any action.

I have a vintage cravat somewhere, I might go as a Prussian aristocrat.

Fake black moustaches, an apron with "pizza" written on it, a cook's hat, a mandolino (or a guitar), cool sunglasses and soccer shoes for a touch of madness. There, the perfect stereotyped italian.
Say "mamma mia" a lot.

You could always dress in Overalls, have a 5 o' clock shadow, wear a baseball cap, have messy hair, and talk about sleeping with your cousin and NASCAR. Don't forget a bottle of moonshine either.

Ahh the Southern Sterotype.

Well you're fashionably gay sense will have to take a hit, go out and buy those things! :p

You can in turn say fuck it and go as yourself. A fashionable gay man, Scottish and sociopath. Dude, your outfit would kill.

Clearly your nations are not privileged enough to already have diplomatic relations with the nation of Penguins. I'm the ambassador, and let me tell you, they are all like that.

Can? As in single can of beer? Are you kidding? What he needs is a six pack in his left hand while drinking one in his right hand.


BTW have you ever had moonshine? Called Trago in Spanish possibly?

No, I have not. But I've heard of it. Care to tell me a bit more?

Every country has it but not sure what it's called in Spain. It's when people make their own alcohol. Typically 200 proof. Made with corn mash mostly. Other countries its a variety of things.

Here is a example of a still that one can use.

Ah, like white lighting in the South. I got poisoned by something similar to that while in Puerto Rico. They call it pitorro. As for Spain,I'm not even sure we make something like that.

Here is a recipe so you get an idea how it's made.

STONEWALLS SOUTHERN WHISKEY

One quart of corn syrup per 1 1/2 gallons of water and one cup of honey for every ten gallon batch. Starting hydrometer reading of about 60 or 65. Do not exceed 70. Add 1 to 3 oz's of yeast per 10 gallons of mash.
Heat one fourth of your water to 120 or 130 degrees only hot enough to melt the corn syrup, then stir in your syrup and then the honey last. Pour it into your fermenter and finish filling with cool water to cool it down to 80 degrees. Take a hydrometer reading and adjust as needed. The add your yeast. 6 to 14 days to ferment.
Yields about 7% alcohol


Whiskey
INGREDIENTS:
10 lbs. Whole kernel corn, untreated
5 Gallons Water
1 Cup Yeast, champagne yeast starter

DIRECTIONS:
Put corn in a burlap bag and wet with warm water. Place bag in a warm dark
place and keep moist for about ten days. When the sprouts are about a 1/4" long
the corn is ready for the next step. Wash the corn in a tub of water, rubbing
the sprouts and roots off.. Throw the sprouts and roots away and transfer the
corn into your primary fermenter. With a pole or another hard object mash the
corn, make sure all kernels are cracked. Next add 5 gallons of boiling water
and when the mash cools add yeast. Seal fermenter and vent with a water sealed
vent. Fermentation will take 7-10 days. When fermentation is done, pour into
still filtering through a pillow case to remove all solids.

As for Spain,I'm not even sure we make something like that.

Ahh yes you do. I had some in Spain once from a local. I forgot what he called it but it was just like moonshine.


Edit: The wife said it was "Puro".

Ahh yes you do. I had some in Spain once from a local. I forgot what he called it but it was just like moonshine.

Are you referring to Orujo?

watch Monty Python episodes.

Maybe, if it's 200 proof and made at home then yes. They probably use something different than corn in Spain though. Maybe sugarcane.

Ah, yes, here we make it the same way vodka is made. From potatos. Because potatos are part of the Finnish diet, and might as well get them in alcohol.

Maybe, if it's 200 proof and made at home then yes. They probably use something different than corn in Spain though. Maybe sugarcane.

When you mentioned the corn mash, you also made me think of Sangría. But Sangría isn't 200 proof. It's probably Orujo. But now that your wife offer the name she remembers, Puro, I'm curious.

That's what she calls it in Morocco. It's called other names too. However knowing that it's a Spanish name used in Morocco she thought it was from the mainland. You could call it something different. I also don't remember it being called Puro while we tried it in Spain. I would have remember that.


It doesn't exactly need to be corn based. You can use many other things. I think they key points is that it is illegally home made and is 200 proof.

Isn't sangria a red wine fruit punch type thing?

Can? As in single can of beer? Are you kidding? What he needs is a six pack in his left hand while drinking one in his right hand.Maybe some of them moved to Australia? A few months ago (maybe last year?) a male motorist there was taken to court because when the police stopped him, he had a young child riding unsafely unsecured in the back of his vehicle... because he was using the passenger-seat's ssafety-belt to secure a case of beer, instead!
Honestly, the story got into at least two mainstream newspapers here in England...

Oh, and here's an old guide to the stereotypes of the British Isles' peoples _

"The Scots keep the Sabbath, and anything else that they get their hands on;
The Welsh pray on their knees, and prey on their neighbours;
The Irish don't know what they want, but they're ready to fight for it;
And the English like to think of themselves as a self-made nation...
Which saves God Almighty a great embarrassment."

The Redneck/Hill Billy motherland is the same. Yes I am talking about the good ole British Isles. When I was living in the UK we would go to parties and on the rare occasion people would start talking about American Rednecks/Hill Billies and getting a good chuckle I would always remind them of where those people came from. It was funny because you would see the gears turning in the heads and then get a delayed laugh.

Isn't sangria a red wine fruit punch type thing?

It is, but it also has corn syrup as one of the basis for it's confection.

Hate to burst your bubble, but it ain't 200 proof. Usually it's in the 180-195 range.

Past that you need a molecular sieve in a room with a damn near 0% moisture content, very expensive. Also, the moment you exposed it to regular air, it would no longer be 200 proof, as it starts absorbing water from the atmosphere.

I don't think you understand, so I will explain.

Let's suppose you have X object. It doesn't seem like it could be used for sex in any way.

There is a person out there codenamed Y. This person has a fetish for X object. Rule 36 says that this person must exist on the internet.

Y imagines X object being used in a sexual fashion.

Application of rule 34 states that, since they imagined it, there's now porn of it.

Think about that for a minute before you invoke both rules together.

cow boy hat bow boy boots tight jeans and plaid. throw on a six shooter(little brother cap gun will do) and your a Texan.

Theres something in that were a guy fucks a guitar.

No, no, no. That was a misunderstanding. He was naked, it was dark, he was changing a string, he became entangled.

I don't think you understand.....

Oh but I do.

No, no, no. That was a misunderstanding. He was naked, it was dark, he was changing a string, he became entangled.
Well, so you say...

Edit: I wish I knew the next line so I could quote it, but my memery is shyte.

Oh but I do.

Put corpsepaint on and say you're Norwegian.

Hate to burst your bubble, but it ain't 200 proof. Usually it's in the 180-195 range.

Past that you need a molecular sieve in a room with a damn near 0% moisture content, very expensive. Also, the moment you exposed it to regular air, it would no longer be 200 proof, as it starts absorbing water from the atmosphere.

Factually that may be the case however it's one of those things where it is considered 200 proof to indicate it is pure. Scientifically what you mentioned is accurate but to the average yokel 200 proof is good.

Go as a Penguin and represent Antarctica.

I have a black suit, a black shirt and a red tie. I might go as a German in the guise of a member of Kraftwerk.

You go as a German, anybody dressed as the French will immediately surrender to you. Besides, you don't really need a costume. 'Glaswegian' is already a stereotype, apparently:http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ViolentGlaswegian

You could dress in black and white and waddle around with occasional flapping of arms.

ah, and I thought you were romanian. We're pretty rare around teh internetz for some reason compared to the rest of europe (at least in english forums anyway).

Nah, Spanish. I just like studying all languages that descend from Latin. Romanian I studied in passing, and yes, you guys are rare in forums or the internet for that matter.

Deci, mă bucur să te văd aici, amice!:)

Deci, mă bucur să te văd aici, amice!:)Now that I think about it, you confused me twice.

1) I thought you were romanian
2) I thought you were japanese (your nick)

And now you're spanish.

Myself, unfortunately I'm not that good at studying languages and only know romanian and english fluently.

That's the bane of my existence. But the thing is, I am mid-fluent in Japanese, hence the nickname.

Pero soy española, mi niño.:wink:

In case you have difficulties with that, english translation: It's good that you learned to speak politely first [in romanian], which is known for its jargons (personally I don't like them) :)

I basically look like a nerd.

Nerds can be hot.

You know that I'm a guy, right?

Yep.

And you tried to tell us that you won't gay, RoI.

As for me WMU, it could be come back in 5 years time when you can legally drink.

We aren't describing each and every Englishman. They're stereotypes. Not all Frenchmen are rude, smoke cigarettes, and drink wine. Not all Mexicans stand around looking for trabajo. Not all Americans are fat, lazy, and stupid. We get it. You defy the British stereotypes.

You mean they don't? :eek:

Being a fashionable gay man, I own none of these items.

You don't own a cousin? And it is hard to mess up your hair?

I would question as to why not even you have a cap, but then I remember that you are in Scotland.

Well, I wouldn't call your experience limited, really. After all, Romanian is your mother tongue. Besides, it's way better to learn how to properly speak a language before you go on into the jargons. God knows I am doing that with English, and I still have problems with idioms and with some of this language's expressions.

Truthfully I wouldn't know english the way I do it (fluently in most expressions) without movies and/or games (or reading english books online lol). That says a lot about my self-teaching methods doesn't it? :p

Auto-a învăţat? Incredibil. Felicitari, cred că vă engleză este destul de bun.

Funny/Possibly offensive:
- Hamericans are all biggoted drunken redneck hicks
- Germans are all beer-guzzling sausage munchers

True:
- There is no such thing as good British food
- Nothing any good ever came out of the 80's
- All Irish men are drunks, Catholic, and beat their wives

Auto-a învăţat? Incredibil. Felicitari, cred că vă engleză este destul de bun.I'm 80% self-taught. :D
Actually I can't imagine how others learn, maybe it's because I'm interested in many things and I look them myself (I have to say the internet eased my learning process a lot by seeking "tutorials" with a quick search etc...)

It's always been one of my mottos that, to understanding something properly, learn it yourself. :)

(although if I wanted to learn, let's say, play instruments I'll probably need someone, but at least still do it because of interest not by rote... I actually don't play any instrument)

@Indri: I actually never heard of the stereotype that british food is bad :$

I heard Swedish people have many stereotypes against Norwegians though, and vice-versa, but I can't say I'm familiar with them.

That's right won't. :)

Really what was I thinking, think I only had 5 minutes to type 4 posts, so how about we substitute it for weren't

Oh! Well that makes far more sense. When did I do that? And what makes you think I am now?

I'm 80% self-taught. :DThat's pretty cool.

I'm a 99% student-learner for English. xD

All of them, they all make me laugh.

I was tutored in the language since I was 5. But my fluency was helped by reading English books and by watching movies in English. So, to a level, I taught myself a bit.

Some other thread, I think I tried to hook you up with CM or somehthing and you denied it, and then with WMU yeah. Look the whole thing is a running joke embrace it son.

That's pretty cool.

I'm a 99% student-learner for English. xDWell I meant in everything. Self-taught means here that I learned it out of interest browsing books, internet, reading articles and asking questions on forums etc... (programming -- one of the areas I am interested in, was almost non-existent in school anyway).

Funny thing is, regarding english, I started to learn it (I didn't even hear about it before) in 2nd grade which isn't really that early. In fact, I think my obsession with movies and games on my old NES as a kid taught me the basics at that age lmao. :D

From a recent story in the New York Times: across the otherwise brown tiles in the changing room at a Berlin swimming pool is a red line. The sign says "Barefoot Zone", and Germans who see the sign tend to freeze, as if imagining the electric shock that will strike them if they cross that line with shoes. I believe that the absolute authority of that line is not, actually, enforced by any electric shock (I have never seen anyone try it, and would not dare to try it myself: this is Germany, after all), nor are there even any cameras monitoring the site. In Paris, let alone Rome, the sign would only be a mild suggestion, or even a joke.

A story I read: some guests to the court of Nicholas II were puzzled to see a guard standing out in the middle of a field. They asked the czar what he was doing there, but Nicholas did not know, and curiously asked around. At first all that anyone could tell him was just that it was one of the customary guard posts, and had been for time out of mind. Finally an old gardener was located, who said that when he was a child his grandfather had told him, "See? There he is, still guarding the flower! Here once the Empress Catherine found a snowdrop in bloom out of season, and gave orders that it not be plucked."

My own experience: I went over to Canada (just one more time, before escaping Detroit), and was spending my last Canadian money at a Tim Horton's. The bill was $5.34, and all I had was a Canadian $5 and a Canadian dime, so I threw in an American quarter. He gave me a nickel change. I told him he only owed me a penny, but it turned out that he had automatically converted American-to-Canadian at the latest exchange rate in his head, hence the extra 4 cents.

*snip*

Some point to this story?

- All Irish men are drunks, Catholic, and beat their wives

Hey, I'm a single atheist!

Well, the last party I attended (tonight, I am drunk) was invaded by Spanish folk as Barcelona apparently won some kind of somethingorother. They lived up to their stereotypes of being loud, obnoxious, and loving terrible, terrible music. I felt incredibly British while sitting at the sidelines.
