Pick two stereotypes of you, your country, your hobbies or anything your familiar with.

Tell us one that is true, and one that is false.

I'll start us off:

True
We drink too much. We're on a par with the Brits I would say.

We do have big noses, and a lot of us are pretty stingy.

[Bat Vader]

I don't think any stereotypes are actually true. I mean just because many people do one thing in a country does not mean everyone does it.

True
We are civilized vikings

Scandinavians rule. I think you said you're Swedish, no?

This has nothing to do with my culture or anything but I have never known a black man who didn't like fried chicken, then again I've never known anyone who doesn't like fried chicken.

Fasle
Aussies never say 'shrimp on the barbee'.

G'day and nearly every swear word is how we tend to greet each other.

Also this. Why do people think we say that anyway? WE DON'T EVEN EAT SHRIMP!

False: We don't all have crooked yellow teeth, wear top hats and go "I say!" all the time

True: The majority of us fucking love ourselves a cuppa.
