Culture

What are some peculiarities, little quirks, traditions of your area?


For me-

-Being from Québec, something that a lot of my friends from elsewhere have remarked how very strange it is for us to put butter on the crusts of pizza.

-The more well-known Québec features are- of course- poutine, angry French hockey fans, Céline Dion, and La Cirque du Soleil.

-A common winter treat is the Beavertail. Originally just a wrapped up pancake, really- it is now a trademark and a company with all sorts of pastries, with chains in Canada, the U.S. and- strangely enough- Saudi Arabia.

-A very heavy protest-culture in Québec. People will hold rallies for practically anything. Even the police held a protest this summer.

-Now in Alberta, it has become apparent that the phrases "right on" and "you betcha" are practically ubiquitous.

-Alberta still has a sort of frontier feel to it. Besides the rampant cowboy culture (ranches and stetsons everywhere), a lot of people from the east (myself included)come out here to work. A lot of cabin towns- towns that are basically just places for people to sleep, and then the basically half the city evacuates as everyone buggers off to go work elsewhere.

Ha. Moorish castilian spanish.

Ot:

Soda not POP
A taco isn't made with ground beef
Yolo's is beaten.
White people speak that fake spanish of latin america and southern moorland.
We work for a living. To the south and some of europa.
Every mexican is from three states in mexico.
Mostly sons of the soil people.
Every mad at us for warm weather and hawt women... come to here and it's fucking cold or hotter then iraq in the summer.

80 cultures in one area the size of Rhode island and fifty starfucks on one square mile but only one weeb store in 200 miles.

One thing I've observed in the States: arguments are either to win or to lose, they are not treated as tools to formulate a greater solution.

United states is not what it used to be and I will be glade to move the F out of here in two years. Dissapear or something away from false fake family and live where I cannot be found

Don't they have the whole "can't fire you even if you ruin the company" law?

That's what I got told from someone who visits Spain a lot, can be a reason why the employment sucks.

From my birthplace, it's all about the "colourfication" when it comes to stuff such as scholarships, welfare, government positions and so on.

uhhhhhh, we have cows, sheep, and horses running around... there's like 50 farms in my town... and there's 4 shops c:

Well we have Scousers (people who are from Liverpool) who are often difficut to understand because of their thick accents, the stereotype that all British people are posh (which is actually far rom the truth generally), the Welsh and their stereotype that they fuck sheep, the Scottish and their stereotype that they're all manly ginger blokes who wear kilts and the Irish and their stereotype of being a nation of filthy drunks.

You've also got the scottish dish Haggis which I thoroughly enjoy, Fish and chips which was, I guess you could say "invented" in for the working class as a result of a big boom in the trawling industry. Oh and Scotch eggs which contrary to the name was actually invented in London. We're also partial to curries, even though that's not a British dish.

You've also got the Yorkshire Miners who to this day are still buttmad at Margeret Thatcher because she closed down roughly 20 coal mines seen as "uneconomic". Safe to say when she died it re-opened old wounds and a lot of them celebrated.

Also we have our own English Dictionary seperate from the US. For example color -> colour. Soda -> soft drink. Fries -> chips. Chips -> Crisps. General pronounciations are different as well, such as "ass", instead we generally say "arse" and "bath" which we pronounce "barth". That is unless you're a scouser, a scot or welsh.

You've also got the racists who frown upon giving foreigners, well, anything. But you get those everywhere.

Well, I'm on the Gulf coast of Florida (or as some annoyingly call it, the "sun coast") there's the local culture and the trace bits of culture the tourists bring with them, but I'm pretty sure local peculiarities were meant. There's a rather large problem with prescription abuse (pill-heads aplenty, and you would never have to look far for someone selling them, my apartment complex is notorious for drug dealers), a large homeless population (both actually homeless and trailer-trash pretending to pan-handle for easy money), teenage patents are ubiquitous (in my freshman year in high school I had 9 in my classes alone, disgusting), hookers on 14th st in Bradenton, red necks, and of course there are rich people ignorant of all of it.

There something else i notice that is different from ever where i been.

Here in the center of freeland called california... we put pickled jalapenos on pizza. I never see it outside and when i ask they think im weird. FUCK THAT CRUSH PEPPER SHIT.
