      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!

      I’ve got a buddy who spent some time in southern Africa, and his Afrikaans impression always cracks me up. He says Afrikaaner men especially sound like angry vikings talking with mouthfuls of shit

    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.

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