Colour_me_triggered, Muh guns!
einlander, Of whatever.
onion, of Mexico?
FlyingSquid, of Tara.
OpenStars, Ur mother?
Colour_me_triggered, Cold and hostile? Antarctica?
OpenStars, I was going more off of the “not like that” title - what answers would fit into two words that would engender that response.
That said, Antarctica is actually a brilliant answer, since not only is pretty much nobody from there, it is also merely one word so wrong on that count as well:-).
captainlezbian, Kind but generally really weird? Denmark?
essell, Ex-empire
user1234, First Order?
essell, All hail the supreme leader.
Viking_Hippie, Ethiopia?
FlyingSquid, Mali.

robocall, From America
quantenzitrone, America is 2 Continents
KrankyKong, Wait, what? Are you serious? Oh my gosh. This is news to me. Just… wow. Does everyone else know this?
valen, Pretty much everyone except people from “America”, that is, the US.
Hint: People from Brazil are Americans.
Sorry if I missed the “/s” in your post
KrankyKong, Pretty much everyone except people from “America”, that is, the US.
Well that is a broad generalization spoken from a place of ignorance. I promise you that the vast majority of Americans (that is, people from the U.S.) know about the Americas (that is, the continents).
That being said, colloquially, the term “America” generally refers to the United States. And that’s true most everywhere, not just in the U.S.
Most people will say “North”, “South”, or “Americas” (plural) when talking about the continents.
onion, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americas
Click on the language button, you’ll see the continents are called singular America in most languages (Spanish, French, German, etc…)
Afaik people in South America tend to refer to the continents as America as well, and say “united stadians” to people from the US
KrankyKong, Language is a complicated and very fluid social construct. What means one thing somewhere might mean something different somewhere else, even if the same language is spoken in both places. Both usages of the word are correct, and it’s both the responsibility of to the speaker and listener to understand each other. It’s confusing, but that’s how things are in the real world. Of course you can say “America” to refer to the continents, and if that’s what’s dictated by social contract where you’re from, then more power to you. I’m just saying that you can’t judge an entire nation of people based off the colloquial usage of a word (not that you were, I’m referring to the person I responded to).
quantenzitrone, well tbf ‘From America’ actually fulfills the country in 2 words request because US Americans are the only Americans egocentric enough to claim the term ‘America’ for themselves
KrankyKong, I guess “American” is different then?
…wikipedia.org/…/Demonyms_for_the_United_States#:…
But you go ahead and keep hating on people who live in the U.S. No need to think for yourself.
captainlezbian, Ah sorry we can narrow it down to just half of one of those continents by saying United States
Barbarian, Smecherie generala
baggins, Poutine eh?
HopFlop, This dish was brought to you by: Vladimir
Bronzie, Blame Canada!
pedz, Sauf que, les québécois ne disent pas vraiment “eh” et le Québec n’est pas encore un pays.
It’s like saying “Nanaimo bars tabarnak”.
baggins, That’s three words.
DerisionConsulting, The only groups of people who I have use “Eh”, from least used to most used:
- People who’s first language is French (maybe it’s a prairie french thing?)
- People from the Maritimes
- People from the USA from places like Wisconsin.
Bronzie, Salmon, oil
Colour_me_triggered, Scotland or Norway?
Bronzie, Damn forgot Scotland also has both
CptEnder, Also Alaska but I knew you meant Norway, your salmon is best.
Colour_me_triggered, Only need one:
Haggis
RmDebArc_5, That’s four
Colour_me_triggered, 🤨
akakunai,
BuboScandiacus, ?
Colour_me_triggered, Don’t be dense.
BeigeAgenda, Only if it’s deep fried haggis…
BuboScandiacus, Still don’t get it
milicent_bystandr, So, it turns out, not everybody knows every country’s stereotypes and peculiarities.
I understand.
Wikipedia: Haggis: the Haggis is a small, three-legged mammal native to Western Spain, where it is seldom seen and considered critically endangered in its original habitat. Introduced to Scotland circa 1180 to control the aggressive spread of certain flora, hunting Haggis became a popular sport among Scottish peasants…
So, Spain
SmackemWittadic, Thank you for the clarification, I thought it might have been Canada.
Paul Edward Haggis (born March 10, 1953) is a Canadian screenwriter, film producer, and director of film and television. He is best known as screenwriter and producer for consecutive Best Picture Oscar winners Million Dollar Baby (2004) and Crash (2005), the latter of which he also directed.
randint, Is this a joke I’m too dense to get or is this just plain bullshit? What I found on Wikipedia was this:
Haggis (Scottish Gaelic: taigeis) is a savoury pudding containing sheep’s pluck (heart, liver, and lungs), minced with chopped onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and cooked while traditionally encased in the animal’s stomach though now an artificial casing is often used instead.
I don’t even think a three-legged mammal exists. However I did find this: (emphasis mine)
Wild haggis (given the humorous taxonomic designation Haggis scoticus) is a fictional creature of Scottish folklore, said to be native to the Scottish Highlands. It is comically claimed to be the source of haggis, a traditional Scottish dish that is in fact made from the innards of sheep.
But obviously that’s something different as it’s native to Scotland and is just fictional.
Colour_me_triggered, It’s a joke all Scottish people make with foreigners. Convincing them that it’s a wee three legged beastie that runs around the hill in one direction because one of its legs are longer and it would fall over if it went the other way. I had a friend who used to sell tickets to a haggis hunt on Arthur’s seat.
randint, lol so it was a joke. I would have totally fell for it if I had not heard of it before and still had a vague impression of what it was.
Colour_me_triggered, The food is real. But it’s made from sheep organs. If you ever get a chance to try it, absolutely do. It’s delicious. Possibly the best preparation of sheep ever smalehove and pinnekjøtt from Norway are a close second though.
Fair fa’ your honest, sonsie face, Great chieftain o the puddin’-race!
Aboon them a’ ye tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy o’ a grace
As lang’s my arm.
The groaning trencher there ye fill,
Your hurdies like a distant hill,
Your pin wad help to mend a mill
In time o need,
While thro your pores the dews distil
Like amber bead.
His knife see rustic Labour dight,
An cut you up wi ready slight,
Trenching your gushing entrails bright,
Like onie ditch;
And then, O what a glorious sight,
Warm-reekin, rich!
Then, horn for horn, they stretch an strive:
Deil tak the hindmost, on they drive,
Till a’ their weel-swall’d kytes belyve
Are bent like drums;
The auld Guidman, maist like to rive,
‘Bethankit’ hums.
Is there that owre his French ragout,
Or olio that wad staw a sow,
Or fricassee wad mak her spew
Wi perfect scunner,
Looks down wi sneering, scornfu view
On sic a dinner?
Poor devil! see him owre his trash,
As feckless as a wither’d rash,
His spindle shank a guid whip-lash,
His nieve a nit;
Thro bloody flood or field to dash,
O how unfit!
But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed,
The trembling earth resounds his tread,
Clap in his walie nieve a blade,
He’ll make it whissle;
An legs an arms, an heads will sned,
Like taps o thrissle.
Ye Pow’rs, wha mak mankind your care,
And dish them out their bill o fare,
Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware
That jaups in luggies:
But, if ye wish her gratefu prayer,
Gie her a Haggis
Hossenfeffer, Irn Bru

Hugh_Jeggs, “Selfish cunt” would’ve been just as succinct
EvilEyedPanda, Now then I’d assume you’re from Australia
Hugh_Jeggs, Then you’d assume wrongly who the rightful owner of the word “cunt” is
