CULTURAL DIFFERENCES EXPLAINED

So confused about differences about Aussies, Brits, Yankies and Mounties?
Let me enlighten you..

Posted Image


Aussies: Dislike being mistaken for Pommies when abroad.
Canadians: Are rather indignant about being mistaken for Americans when abroad.
Americans: Encourage being mistaken for Canadians when abroad.
Brits: Can’t possibly be mistaken for anyone else when abroad.

Aussies: Believe you should look out for your mates.
Brits: Believe that you should look out for those people who belong to your club.
Americans: Believe that people should look out for and take care of themselves.
Canadians: Believe that that’s the government’s job.

Aussies: Are extremely patriotic to their beer.
Americans: Are flag-waving, anthem-singing and obsessively patriotic to the point of blindness.
Canadians: Can’t agree on the words to their anthem, when they can be bothered to sing them.
Brits: Do not sing at all but prefer a large brass band to perform the anthem.

Americans: Spend most of their lives glued to the idiot box.
Canadians: Don’t, but only because they can’t get more American channels.
Brits: Pay a tax just so they can watch four channels.
Aussies: Export all their crappy programs, which no-one there watches, to Britain, where everybody loves them.

Americans: Will jabber on incessantly about football, baseball, and basketball.
Brits: Will jabber on incessantly about cricket, soccer, and rugby.
Canadians: Will jabber on incessantly about hockey, hockey, hockey, hockey, and how they beat the Americans twice in baseball.
Aussies: Will jabber on incessantly about how they beat the Poms in every sport they play them in.

Americans: Spell words differently [incorrectly?], but still call it ‘English’.
Brits: Pronounce their words differently, but still call it “English”.
Canadians: Spell like the Brits, pronounce like Americans.
Aussies: Add “G’day”, “mate” and a heavy accent to everything they say in an attempt to get laid.

Brits: Shop at home and have goods imported because they live on an island.
Aussies: Shop at home and have goods imported because they live on an island.
Americans: Cross the southern border for cheap shopping, gas and liquor in a backwards country.
Canadians: Cross the southern border for cheap shopping, gas and liquor in a backwards country.

Americans: Drink weak, pissy-tasting beer.
Canadians: Drink strong, pissy-tasting beer.
Brits: Drink warm, beery-tasting piss.
Aussies: Drink anything with alcohol in it.

Americans: Seem to think that poverty and failure are morally suspect.
Canadians: Seem to believe that wealth and success are morally suspect.
Brits: Seem to believe that wealth, poverty, success and failure are inherited things.
Aussies: Seem to think that none of this matters after several beers.

Hahahahahahahahaha, Brink, you bloody legend. Those are so funny.

"Brits: Drink Beery tasting piss" XD

"Americans: Cross the southern border for cheap shopping, gas and liquor in a backwards country.
Canadians: Cross the southern border for cheap shopping, gas and liquor in a backwards country."

Those two are my favourite. Thats brilliant.

Yay! I presume that being a part of the Department of Dangerous Fauna Management comes with free e-cookies?

Nothing can replace your good ol' posts though dad2 ;)

Hahaha, that's a nice find, I have a stubby holder with something like that on it.

"Aussies: Export all their crappy programs, which no-one there watches, to Britain, where everybody loves them."

I'm from Scotland and although I never watched programs when i lived there, I know so many people who watch neighbours, home and away haha. This is so true.

I think all my American & British friends would find that more than amusing. ;)

Was a very fun read. My favorite would have to be:

"Americans: Spell words differently [incorrectly?], but still call it ‘English’.
Brits: Pronounce their words differently, but still call it “English”.
Canadians: Spell like the Brits, pronounce like Americans.
Aussies: Add “G’day”, “mate” and a heavy accent to everything they say in an attempt to get laid."

Well we all know that Australians are by far the finely gentic specimens of the world. Best drinkers in the world, best curses in the world, and most importantly best looking women. Apart from the Swis!!!!

That was great Brink. It sums up the differences well but no reference to beer?
