"What is Holland?"
"What do you mean, 'what is it?' It's a country right next to Belgium."
"No, that's the Netherlands."
"Holland is the Netherlands."
"Then who are the Dutch!!?"

[china-amy]

I don't understand your mean.

lol, I am sitting in the Amsterdam airport reading this. We are flying home (Houston) today after spending a week hanging out in The Netherlands and Belgium.

I just have to ask, what set you off about this?

[Yaozer]

so who ARE the Dutch???

[Deji]

that's up there with

"Where are you from?"
"Texas."
"Where in Texas?"
"Corpus Christi."
*long pause*
"Where's that?"
"In the south, on the coast..."
"Texas has a coast?"

[GlassHalfFull]

so who ARE the Dutch???

When they get drunk in bars (which happens with great regularity as far as I can tell) they like to ask Americans their stance on euthanasia and Bush.

It is fun to agree with them and watch them try and figure out what to do.

Technically, isn't Hollan only one part of the Netherlands (which, I think is where Michael Jackson and Peter Pan lives... right?)?

Yes, North Holland and South Holland are the two largest and most populated area of the Netherlands.

Isn't Germany 'Deutschland' in german? What's that all about anyway?

Hi, Everyone

I'm rookie. can you tell me why can't i send my article and could you tell me what i have to do? Thanks!

By "send my article" do you mean you tried to start a new thread and could not? If so, it is because you are a rookie and rookies can't start threads. What you should do is contribute positively in threads that have been started and you'll eventually be promoted. Then, you can post your article.

(And, please do not try to hijack an existing thread just because you can't start your own. You'll never get promoted like that. There's a reason why the board doesn't allow rookies to start threads.)

Isn't Germany 'Deutschland' in german? What's that all about anyway?

In Middle English, the Deutschlanders were called High Dutch, while Nederlanders were called Low Dutch. At some point, the English adopted the word German, from the Latin Germania for the Deutschlanders, but kept calling the Nederlanders Low Dutch, and eventually just Dutch.

In SPANISH, we only say "Holanda" and not anything 'netherlandsish' like yous English speakers... :p suckers...

"The proper name of the area in both Dutch and English is "Holland". "Holland" is a part of the Netherlands. "Holland" is informally and quite incorrectly used in some languages to mean the whole of the modern country of the Netherlands. (This example of pars pro toto or synecdoche is similar to the tendency to refer to the United Kingdom as "England".)"

[Ottomaton]

In French it is 'allemand'. These are both from the word that the Romans used to use for Germans, not related to what the Germans called themselves.

[The Hunted]

The Pennsylvania Dutch are not Dutch at all, their German.

[BroadwayBelm]

In Holland they wear wooden shoes.

[StaticC4]

The Dutch also made great baked foods, also people in Holland live in the 1970s like Goldmember from Austin Powers.

[IROC it]

I had an uncle in California named Holland.

He was of Germanic descent.

[univac hal]

I hear they live in windmills, too.. the men grow tulips and the women work as milkmaids. It's all very rustic

[Colt45]

the men grow tulips and the women work as milkmaids.

Except in Amsterdam where the men grow weed and the women work as prostitutes.

Los Países Bajos are THE NETHERLANDS, which are part of the NETHERLANDS KINGDOM, which are the and THE LOWER ANTILLES and ARUBA.(

What is this? A language mistake from the CORRECTOR of all language mistakes?
