"The World" According To Americans... LOL

I Found this Map on a French site, like "France" French :-)
I think it's pretty cute. It's very simplistic and "mostly" true...

Hey, they're saying Americans think Canada is "uninhabited"...
well except for my igloo ;-)
Thank God I have nice neighbors like you guys, 
or else I'd be all alone.



Hmm... so what else do you guys think about the world?? :-)

Translation, using THIS map of course.
Angel, that would be Père Noël, not Pare Noel... it's on the map girl.. ;-)  I translated your faves below... I'll add US and Canada.

What the Map says        Translation                 Real Name
État d'Amérique              USA                            USA
Encore l'Amérique          More US                     Alaska
Plus d'Amérique             Even more US            Hawaii 
inhabité                           uninhabited                Canada
Père Noël                       Santa                         The North Pole
Chochottes                     Wusses                      Europe
Animaux pour le zoo       Zoo Animal supplier    Africa

Translated the rest of the "colorful blobs" as Mike Miles put it..;-)
Ils font nos ménages et tondes nos pelouses = They do our housework and mow our lawns.

Le café vient de la je crois = Coffee comes from there I think.

Communistes = Communist... dah!!

Télés et caméras = TVs and cameras

Ils fabriques nos trucs = They make our stuff

My three favorite regions are Pare Noel, Chochottes and animaux pour le zoo. :-)

And we ALL know the nicest (and since you guys have a kickass Prime Minister now)coolest kids live in Canada.

Care to translate?

I'm asking because I never had the slightest notion to learn a language the sounds like you're straining on the Thunder-Throne.

KurtP... You are now officially the first commenter to make my jaw drop... I can't believe you just that... how rude :P You must be drunk...

And yes, I do care to translate... but I'll have fun doing it with people that like to play french, eh nice ;-)

Have you ever "really" listened to the French language when it wasn't clear what the words were?

MissK said...

Don't worry I'm not really offended.. much :P

Do you understand "some" french?

And if you're referring to France French, it's totally different then Canadian French.
