Only trying to make it funny.

Main nonsenses corrected:

Countries East-wards the Bug river: lost part of Poland or just "Ruskies". Never heard "former colonies".

Germans .. hmm .. kinda Turks in the nice cars. Kreuzberg is their capital city.

Czech and Slovaks - neighbors speaking rural Polish dialects.
For sure not drunks.

Russia - f..n Katsaps except all my friends and great blondes with Slavic high cheek bones.
They use hieroglyphes .

Sweden: hink, mopa and svabba promised land for Polish rednecks.

Belgium: Stella Artois hardly makes it a land of beers .

and i wouldn call croatia low class holidays. from what i know its way too expensive. sometimes even more than italy or greece. if you want to save money going for vacations you rather choose bulgaria or crimea.

If you notice Serbs are described in the map as crazy people.I have heard often Poles who came in contact with Serbs describing Serbs as crazy.I don't know why is that.

Crazy, stupid. If crow is anything to go by, adding '******* insane' to the description would be fair.

Are you Serbian? becuase you also strike me as slightly derranged.


Aftrer this, maybe 'Peasants with pitchforks' miught be an alternative description

You're right, absolutely right, I'm telling that to my Serbs but nothing.... Not only peasants with pitchforks, but also rapists with the smallest penises, illiterate imbeciles, only nation on this planet where every person can and will have reliable psychiatric diagnosis like you wisely noticed.
Oh, not to forget, their evil has pure inferno quality. Never seen before.
Yes, we are stupid that it hurts, and we are ugly in a way that parents can scare their kids with Serbian appearance.

I completely agree.

Now let's talk about you , you sound a bit frustrated....

I think there is nothing about your problem a good dominatrix couldn't solve.

stop the earth i want to get off

I would put away Refrigerator from Norway and put it on North-Eastern part of Russia ;)

Quisling/Fisherman's land/Seafaring Oilmen or something along those lines is more realistic ;)

Not just Poles. I always thought 'Crazy Serb' was a pleonastic phrase like 'wet water'.

"Why" don't I get it? I don't understand the implication/association - do you?

Or do you mean "why" do they say this? - that's what I'm asking.

- Czech, Finland: wrong. Poles generally sterotype themselves as biggest drunks in the world, with Russians as the only competitors. Czechs are usually more associated with funny language and Finland with nothing in particular.
- For Netherlands I would use "legal ganja". I've known people who planned vacations there just because they wanted to try it.
- Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine: no, no, no. Nobody would think of them as just colonies but rather as a part of Poland, lands which rightfully belong to Poland. And, as everyone knows, Lithuanians and Ukrainians are really Poles in denial ;)
- Turkey: Let's be frank - many Poles wouldn't even know what a minaret is. The most common association is kebab.
-Uk, Ireland - who the hell thinks of potatoes when hearing of Ireland? They're the ones we jokingly call our colonies, or Poland 2.0, or just jobs

Its means simply they have no other association with Ireland other than druids - history - Romans :)
Hope it helps :)

Ah right, OK. Thanks. A bit obscure though : )

Ireland - who the hell thinks of potatoes when hearing of Ireland?

Well plenty of English people would - maybe the map was the creation of an English person and therefore their assumptions of how Poles may feel about other countries? It would explain a lot maybe.

In all such maps Ireland is either Pub, Drunks, Potatoes etc,
Druid is slightly more creative.

It could be worse the map could say Green, leprechaun, buckle shoes etc:)

Yes, we believe in old saying "no man, no problem"(who said that??..i know, but he is not so popular now).Just kidding...







Serbian romantic side, surprisingly we have that too...the problem is if something goes wrong axes, knives, guns we all carry 24 /7 hidden in backpacks, bags or under coats showed to be helpful also for solving love problems ;) ;););) (to prevent misunderstandings, this was ironical)
