people from stockholm call everything that's outside of the city spenaten, "the spinach".

That's nicer than the people of Antwerp, who call the rest of Flanders a parking lot

[–] KurtVonnegut@mander.xyz 4 points 1 month ago

Antwerpen is t stad en de rest is parking.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Parking lots generally have better asphalt

pretty shit parking at those first two, i'll give you that

[–] huppakee@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Strange, if it is all parking I would think there'd be plenty of space ;)

[–] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 1 month ago

you've only showed one angle, could be like an ikea parking lot behind the camera or something

There is, provided your are parking a Bicycle or a canal boat.

[–] needanke@feddit.org 1 points 4 weeks ago

There’s also tjotahejti, which is a spin on Otaheiti, an older name for Tahiti.

[–] Dojan@pawb.social 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We have "the boonies", referring to "the boondocks" or, um, there was a song. I wanted to fuck with you a little but you are so nice.
