Where ya from?! (OPEN THREAD)

[monique_minx]

Oh no, not another thread for us to discuss pointless aspects of ourselves!!



Yep, that's exactly what this is! So I don't keep discussing my heritage with Yeishia and the origins of Vegemite in FD's song thread! Mwahaha!!

So share your ancestry and culture quirks with us, sling some slang from your country our way and don't forget to explain it cause before I joined this site there was a whole lot of stuff I didn't know!

I hope this will really take off cause I'm quite interested in world travel and I'd like to learn more about your little corner of it!

START SHARING!​

It's cool Dragon, just spew some garbage from your country, it's pretty easy I mean I already said VEGEMITE and everyone shuddered

 

[dragonrazor]

I'm trying to remember what Vegemite is. The closest I can think of would be Spam o.o

uh, let's see. Home of the...no, that doesn't apply anymore...Land of the...no, state laws see an end to that....er....land of the portly? Land of bad movies? uh...

well, there's the Statue of Liberty. The Rocky Mountains....the only political leader I know of who was a former entertainer? (Reagan lol)

Oh nooooo!

Shakes my head vigorously

Spam is spiced ham! Vegemite is very different...closest description is 'spreadable beer' which is actually quite accurate and funny!

It's a sandwich spread darl!

 

[dragonrazor]

um....Spam is compressed meat byproduct. There's nothing remotely spiced or hammy about it....

 

[monique_minx]

Huh...might be different over there...but it's SP = Spiced and AM = Ham over here

Shrugs, smiling

Oh well, I don't eat it anyway and there's no meat in Vegemite!

Ohhhh!!

But we do have Meat Pies!! Backbone of Australia!!

 

[dragonrazor]

lol...sweetmeats.....what a goofy term. On a spam-related note, few people outside of Hawaii like it in the US....

[dragonrazor]

in ancient times, the punishment for thievery was:

First offense, cut off a knuckle.

Second offense, cut off a finger.

Third offense, cut off a hand.

If you still didn't learn....oh well, sucks to be you as you're piked for everyone to see....or put on that spinny wheel thing....or in the case of Roman Catholics...Crucified (no matter what your crime was o.o harsh)

 

[monique_minx]

Of course I'm a good girl I is

HAHAHA that'll be the day...my fair lady

Kisses her hand and grins devilishly, bowing

But then if you cut off my hand, I wouldn't be very good for holding yours and kissing it...and then I might get an infection and die on the boat over... omg the possibilities!

EDIT: @ Yeishia: You're starting to freak me out...I never thought we had common ground til now!

@ Dragon: You're also scaring me, stop talking about cutting my hands off...I like my hands...they help me to type!

He he check out my EDIT!

 

[dragonrazor]

the Roman Catholics of Jesus' time were evil bastards. I mean, no matter what you did? Hell, you didn't even have to commit a crime. They didn't like you, you got crucified. the crucifixion is bad enough, but you didn't die from that. You died from the exposure, and bleeding out, and hunger, and dehydration....

 

[monique_minx]

He he check out my EDIT!

OMG check mine! Hahaha

EDIT: Gross Dragon...how do you know this stuff?

 

[dragonrazor]

Saint Agatha, I think...."first they cut the left breast off...she picked it up, threw it at the judge, the judge was struck deaf dumb and blind" (Let's see who gets this reference)

 

[Last_Rider]

Raven, there were no Roman Cathloic's during the time of Christ. Catholicism is an offshoot of christianity, which didn't really take hold till after the death of Christ.

Though the Romans were pretty much always evil bastards, I'm guessing that's what you meant.
