people from stockholm call everything that's outside of the city spenaten, "the spinach".

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

We have "the boonies", referring to "the boondocks" or, um, there was a song. I wanted to fuck with you a little but you are so nice.

That's nicer than the people of Antwerp, who call the rest of Flanders a parking lot

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 hours ago

Parking lots generally have better asphalt

[-] KurtVonnegut@mander.xyz 3 points 11 hours ago

Antwerpen is t stad en de rest is parking.

[-] lime@feddit.nu 2 points 11 hours ago

[-] huppakee@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago

pretty shit parking at those first two, i'll give you that

[-] huppakee@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Strange, if it is all parking I would think there'd be plenty of space ;)

[-] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 8 hours ago

you've only showed one angle, could be like an ikea parking lot behind the camera or something

There’s also tjotahejti, which is a spin on Otaheiti, an older name for Tahiti.

a local one i like is "Finnpörtimansbo"

[-] Dojan@pawb.social 2 points 13 hours ago

Ha! How local is that? I've never heard that in my life! Like, one little pub in like, Finspång?

[-] lime@feddit.nu 3 points 11 hours ago
