Looking at a map, Chile is a thin strip of land compared to all other South American countries, which is what makes sense to do because it makes it easily identifiable to everyone when they also look at a map.

Exactly! Just like on the map of Scandinavia, you could call Sweden and Norway the shaft and Demark the ejaculate.

If Scandinavia looks like a cock to you, then yes. But you might want to see a doctor it your cock looks like the outline of Norway and Sweden...

I saw a doctor in Amsterdam about it and he slid me €20 and kept saying, "I'm a real doctor". They really do things differently in Europe!

Nah, my wife likes that I'm fjorded for her pleasure.

Sweden is clearly the cock and Finland the balls. Norway is only for Klingons.

Finland is not part of the traditional definition of Scandinavia

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Fennoscandia then

[–] AndyMFK@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 months ago

Sweden and Finland. Sweden is the shaft, Finland are the balls

Brazil is a samosa balancing itself on its tip

[–] argarath@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Brazil is south America shaped, which is Africa shaped. The other way is Rio Grande do Sul that is Brazil shaped and a Brazilian state

Looks like a fried chicken thigh. Though a lot of things could look like fried chicken pieces.

[–] BrokenGlepnir@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Brazil is delicious

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

I love cultural fusion. I'm also hungry now.

Fun fact, Brazil has about the same length on the N-S as the E-W directions.

You can't notice this looking at most maps.
