Posted: 1/30/2009 6:32:16 PM | Since the Anglo-Saxons love to stereotype others, let's give them a taste of their own medicine. I'm of Dutch/Magyar ancestry, and I'll give you a view of how the Dutch view the English. NB that I can't inform you of how Magyars view the English since I've never been therem although, I lived just outside Amsterdam for six months as a youth.
While the English are close relatives linguistically and culturally---although the latter is somewhat a stretch---my father loved to lampoon them ad infinitum. I'll let it rip good, and you can share your stereotypes in this thread.
1. The Dutch view the English as inferior. The German often call the English "Inselnaffen", while the Dutch for this is "Eilandappen".
2. A certain Dutch joke goes as follows: You don't need to go to the 3rd world to starve, just marry an English woman and wait for her to cook at decent meal.
3. Another goes as this: " If you wish to experience child neglect, have an English
mother.
4. How can you tell that someone is English? Ask them to smile so you can see that they can eat corn on the cob through a picket fence. | |

Hold on...what does that word mean...is it 'insular' ?
While the English are close relatives linguistically and culturally---although the latter is somewhat a stretch---my father loved to lampoon them ad infinitum. I'll let it rip good, and you can share your stereotypes in this thread.
I say the former is a bigger stretch ..how many English country bumpkins and yokels do you hear say "Verdamme lange blast...pass the duchy on de right hand side man!!"
2. A certain Dutch joke goes as follows: You don't need to go to the 3rd world to starve, just marry an English woman and wait for her to cook at decent meal.
Oh come on...not everybody in the whole wide world enjoys a dollop of sauerkraut accompanying their mashed potatoes..you are so xenophobic...I'm totally shocked !!
3. Another goes as this: " If you wish to experience child neglect, have an English
mother.
I'll let you away with that one...I presume you've only ever talked to the fellas who hate women in England and that is what influenced your opinion there..same with me...oh English women are the worst mothers in the world without a doubt.
4. How can you tell that someone is English? Ask them to smile so you can see that they can eat corn on the cob through a picket fence.
Oh..I've been blissfully unaware of the English people's gap toothed smiles, purely because I'm half blind and tend to notice other things about them which surpass any preconceived notions regarding toothy matters.
I quite like English people even though I know they think the Irish are a bit thick and think we are all holy mary's and the progeny of JP the 2nd aka the devil's spawn ..I blame it on the media myself..and I don't enjoy being thought automatically of as a provo..if I was that way inclined there'd be a lot of dead people around..I promise haha.
Dutch people though ..are a whole other matter altogether...why are they so lanky ..is it due to their lust for hanky-panky ?
Why are their noses so big ?
and what's the story with them keeping their curtains drawn 24/7...are they suffering from 'show-off' disease ? | |

Put simply...superiority is not denoted by extra inches in height nor how far you can reach when you are feeling inclined to shoot as far as you possibly can..oh no, you've gone and confused me..and made me come all over suggestive and stuff in my reply.
I live in a banana republic and am thinking of emigrating to a place where the sun don't shine soon...up your bottom !!
You should know this and connotations identified henceforth.
yash I do....the connotations are glaringly obvious, I apologise for being so stupifyingly argumentative with you .......and carrying on like a dope
You've presented a brilliant OP worthy of pages of discussion and I've been guilty of not taking you seriously ..I'm terribly sorry about that.
I promise to be nicer when I wake up tomorrow.
mea culpa

Posted: 1/31/2009 2:34:56 AM | Oh Man!!! I am so glad to know that the Europenas aren't as unified as the media here would have us believe. They make everyone feel like we American's just can't get along from state-to-state, which is true to some extent. For instance, most populations of most states apparently hate Texans. I would say this is because of Bush, but the problem there is that people just do not realize he isn't Texan at all, it is just a campaign ploy. His wife is Texan, not a single presidential Bush is Texan by birth or raising. Alas, I think it is more than that. People were jealous of Texas way before Bush. Maybe it is because they think all Texans have those oil wells, get to ride horses everywhere, call cattle doggies, have the best food and best economy, who wouldn't envy a 10 gallon hat and high heeled boots and since most Texans consider the beautiful state of Colorado to be Texas' back 40 the envy is well justified.... LOL Well at least some of those are true. 
I can't give any grief to English or Dutch, but I know one thing for sure....
Eggs and Toast is making me hungry!! That is the reason I came into this thread. It is time for breakfast here  | |

Posted: 1/31/2009 8:24:57 AM | Right you Jonnie foreigners its war! Are you a trembling in your boots! You’d better be, because you know how us English love a good fight and be thankful for that because if it wasn’t for us ‘Island Monkeys’ who sacrificed everything fighting for the freedom of the world you lot would all be speaking German and still suffering under the heel of the Nazi jackboot! There would be no countries called The Netherlands or Ireland it would just be the ‘Greater Germanic Republic’! But hey let’s not harp on about a war in which the Dutch and French gave up without firing a shot and the Irish decided to hide beneath the bed cover’s, let’s instead talk about what we the English have given the world. Hmmm…. nope, can’t think of anything off hand, apart from -Industrial innovation, Inventions to numerous to mention, Science that benefits the world, Music the world can’t get enough of, Art, Poetry, Medicine, Film, Fashion, Sport. We policed the world for 200 years seeing of tyrants like Napoleon and we had the greatest empire the world had ever know, not bad for a small island an ‘Island of Monkeys'! And just what have the Dutch given the world? Hmmm…well enough said!
OP I can only put this thread down to envy, envy that you are not and never will be an Englishman!
Take that! | |

Posted: 1/31/2009 11:43:58 AM | I read once that Dutch people prefer to use the no1 global language - spoken by isle apes of all regions - : English, because their own language is so gutteral and nauseatingly throat clearing, that they are prone to throat cancer.
Anyone who talks like they are phlegming up is worth bypassing in my book.
I concurr that they seem to have big conks too, disputable whether it's comparable to todger size, and ALL of them are lanky with abnormally blonde hair. Let me see if I can dredge anymore stereotypes.......... tulips, clogs dykes...
nah,
I couldn't be so petty.
I guess living so close to Ostfriesland where allegedly the dumbest Europeans live is quite irksome to the OP and he ( or she ) is trying deflect his neighbours' renowned idiocy away from himself and onto the isle apes a few rows of the boat over the water
wonder why he posted this in the Ireland forum? doh!
muck raker !
oh, by the way. My company have just bought a Dutch system, supposedly the best of its type in Europe. We've had to spend a whole year telling them what we need it to do as it was presented to us with only 50% of our previous system's capability. I've not had a good impression of the lowlanders since. | |

Posted: 1/31/2009 12:56:07 PM | Ummmm if I am not mistaken but if I am can some one please inform me..
But I thought we were all adults...
OP--- you have nothing better to do eh?
I just think its immature and no wonder why Us as Global citizens don't get along. And I'm sure there are a million different sterotypes for every country. But is it really necessary to point them all out. Who cares really? | |

Posted: 1/31/2009 1:58:38 PM | | Hey 'seriously1980' go back to your knitting this is mens talk! Come on out and fight OP! It was you who chose the Irish forum to air your xenophobic views no doubt because you didn't have the guts to put it on the UK forum! Well it looks the Irish won't protect you so you're on your own pal! Am I right in thinking you had an English nanny and she dropped you on your head when you little that's why you don't like the English , sure would explain a lot! | |

Posted: 2/6/2009 4:26:51 AM | What I don't understand about this thread is why it's on the Irish forums - is the OP trying to get the Irish to have a go at us English? The Irish folk I know are far too intelligent to rise to such a bait........ Miss Grundy being one of them.
Why don't you post the same topic on the UK Forum as that would seem to be its rightful place? Unless of course, you're trying to get other nationalities to join in with your pathetic dig at the English................. | |

Posted: 2/6/2009 5:39:53 AM | Katrina I think the OP didnt have enough balls to post it on the UK forum, and he probably thought by posting it on the Irish forum he could get a bit of Brit Bashing going on................ he thought wrong.
us English love a good fight and be thankful for that because if it wasn’t for us ‘Island Monkeys’ who sacrificed everything fighting for the freedom of the world you lot would all be speaking German and still suffering under the heel of the Nazi jackboot!

But hey let’s not harp on about a war in which the Dutch and French gave up without firing a shot and the Irish decided to hide beneath the bed cover’s,
Rob??????? I think your a bit misinformed about the Irish role in the War, indeed our Irish government took the stance of neutrality, along with 20 other European countries, but I suggest you look back over your facts.
Irish citizens were free to fill manpower shortages in Britain and join the British armed forces. "In January 1942 it was found that in the whole of the British Army 23,549 men were born in Éire and 28,287 in Northern Ireland ,in 1944 the Éire figure had increased to 27,840."Éire exported desperately needed food and labour to Britain and relaxed restrictions on the over-flying by British warplanes over County Donegal's airspace. | |

Posted: 2/6/2009 5:43:04 AM | | rob I read the post and had a sly laugh at the op, then I read Grundys response and smiled also. Yours raised my bp just a smidgen. Now slagging off the Dutch was fine, but dragging the Irish into it was just unnecessary especially as no one has really defended the op's position. The jingoism is fine, what I'd expect really but trying to intimate tht England defended the world alone from the curse of Nazism is a pile of the steaming stuff. Calling the Irish cowardly was also ignorant. You might like to google Irish History for the inter war period 1919-1939, you might find we weren't hiding under blankets afterall. It may also give an insight into why we weren't tripping over ourselves to help GB. | |

Posted: 2/16/2009 1:49:35 PM | Sad, sad dig by the first poster. Keep your xenophobia and tiny mind to yourself perhaps. Or at least have the guts to post it on the English forum, where you can be sure you'll have nobody with an open-mind or an education join your little bit of sad rabble-rousing.
Did anybody ask you how the Dutch view the English? Would you like a similarly narrow-minded, generic and simplistic view of how you're viewed? I think not. By posting here you're automatically asking people to jump in. Go on now, tell us some jokes that actually *are* funny.
You're of Dutch/Magyar descent. Among my friends are both Dutch and Magyar who'd disown a tool like you. You've descended alright and few of us are inclined to join you on your way down. It's insulting to us as a nation to presume you can jump on here and we'll all agree with you. People like you, sadly, exist the world over. Ye make me sick. | |

3. Another goes as this: " If you wish to experience child neglect, have an English
mother.
I dont agree with that,there are bad mothers in every single country,the difference in England is the media just love picking on and documenting peoples downfalls far more than any other country I have encountered. | |

Posted: 3/3/2009 9:11:30 AM | I used to get called Paddy when i worked in England despite the fact I was a Sammy or a Willy John. The slagging would go on for days.
However when I eventually pointed out that you never saw Irish Girls in Readers Wives and that all the English women called Barbara from Basingstoke and Lisa from Luton looked like 60 yr old hookers it stopped them dead. They were speechless.
I wasnt exaggerating. | |

I kid! I have no ill feelings towards the English at all, and nor does anyone I know. Any bad things that are said are usually in jest , and we'd expect the same back!
But still, we won at the rugby! | |
