I'm pretty curious, what the clicḫ̩̉̉ opinons on europe and europeans are. May or may not country specific. (Especially curious about cliches about austria of course).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: Thought i'll broaden the topic a bit and let europeans tell clicḫ̩̉̉s about other europeans to (originally the topic was named: "Americans, tell me clicḫ̩̉̉s about Europe!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Piefke (Germans): Are fat, arrogant ski tourists, with no skiing skills whatsoever per default.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

French: Chauvenist Bastards (nevertheless they make decent skiiers. yet definitely not as good as an austrian)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Italians: Italian males are the best lovers. (are okay skiiers, but not as good as austrians)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

British: Noble, white skinned, drink tea all day long. Won't work on weekends. (worst skiiers ever)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Russians: the mafia (they only do nordic skiing)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Turks: Try to conquer our innocent little country by immigrating and neglecting birth control (turks can't even grasp the basic concepts of the art of skiing)

England: Always raining.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Italy: People only eat spaghetti and pizza.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

France: Everybody is a misunderstood poet sitting in the rain with melancholic harmonica music in the background.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Austria: Slightly racist. Tons of nice buildings

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Germany: Over-emphasized accents, lederhosen, beer and over-positive folk music.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nordic countries: Very cold, always rank 1st in all worldwide education and living standard tests and have superior social and healthcare. What are they doing that others aren't?

Greece: Olive salad and temples.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Balkan countries: They just never seem to agree with each other. Very nice landscapes and beach areas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spain: Hot climate, nice beaches, some deserts, epic kill-bill style banjo music and parties.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Keep in mind they're mostly stereotypes, people, so don't be too offended... :P

You wanted stereotypes right?

Britain is probably associated with tea, cricket and rain.
