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

[-] huppakee@lemmy.world 21 points 6 days ago

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

[-] KurtVonnegut@mander.xyz 5 points 6 days ago

Antwerpen is t stad en de rest is parking.

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 days ago

Parking lots generally have better asphalt

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

[-] needanke@feddit.org 2 points 4 days ago

Not if you have a boat

[-] huppakee@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

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

There is, provided your are parking a Bicycle or a canal boat.

[-] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 6 days ago

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

[-] Dojan@pawb.social 2 points 6 days ago

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

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.
