You insist you wouldn't be caught dead buying Spanish olive oil even though most of the olive oil consumed in Portugal comes from Spain.

You laugh at jokes about the Alentejanos (people from a region in the south of Portugal) but get angry to know that the same jokes are told in Brazil about the Portuguese.

You think that you can catch a cold with a draft or by sitting in the spring sun. Cold drinks are also thought to bring on the dreadful "gripe" (flu). And don't let anyone have a shower after eating as something terrible could happen to them.

You get a letter from your doctor saying you can't work because of an "unspecified, ongoing medical condition" and then go on a two-week holiday.

Your child's teacher misses two weeks (because of a letter from his or her doctor) and you don't complain because you also will use the same doctor when you have to miss two weeks from your work.

A barbecue does not consist of burgers on the grill... Hello! Can you say sardines?

You've had your license for a month, but your $20,000 car has been "hooked up" for a year. I'm talking rims, tints, a system...

A wooden spoon equals discipline, or if you ever had to duck so you wouldn't get hit with flying shoes.

Your parents anticipate that you'll marry your first long-term boyfriend/girlfriend.

When you hear the word "Sagres" you think Beer, not historical marine school.

Nothing beats a buttered papo-seco.

Your 15 year old brother is allowed to have two girls sleep over, but your 19 year old sister can't go out past 7pm.

You think that 2am is too early to go to bed and that 11am is to early to get out of bed.

Your grandmother tells you look sick because you are too thin.

[Lorenzo_H]

You know you are American when you think all Scottish people wear Kilts, all English people drink tea, and you think you are Irish.

[Innocentius]

You know you're Swedish when

• You go insane deep down inside whenever a stranger sits down besides you on the bus (of course, you never show just how uncomfortable you feel)
• You're proud to come from one of the world's most open-minded and modern countries, while you clutch your hand in your pocket at all those immigrants stealing your job
• You get depressed every autum/winter, and cherish the summer and stress to get the most out of it ("the most" means tanning, trying to take a swim in the still frozen lakes, throwing a BBQ-party every weekend or going abroad)
• You don't socially interact with others until you're really, really drunk
• You can't drink reasonable amounts of alcohol. When you party, you party hard
• Every movie made in/by your country sucks

The sad thing is, these are all true.

Now, since I'm of Finnish descent I'll add a more personal list. You know you're Finnish when

• 90% of all your relatives are male, and most of them are brothers
• Said relatives drink heavily, and will occasionally carry a knife
• The same relatives also live somewhere in the woods
• You suddenly inherit land (mostly wood and marches) from a deceased relative

[Justiciar]

You know you are American when you think all ... English people drink tea ...

We don't?

[Samurai Waki]

You know your an American when everybody else thinks they know something about Americans, but don't really.

[Boyar Son]

[Sarmatian]

11. think that interesting sports are only those in which serbs are winning

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

You know you're Bavarian when:

1) You go to Oma's, and you don't need to eat for another three days.
2) You don't consider yourself German. In fact, you don't even consider those from north of Nürnberg Bavarian. They're Franks.
3) You think people from the north talk funny.
4) People from the north say wurst funny.
5) The Swiss talk funny.
6) The Austrians don't talk funny, and they even dress like you sometimes.

EX.

'urts(hurts)

'ello (obviouse)

'ear me? (hear me)

'orrible (horrible)

Hmmm, not true. Only specific accents drop the "h"'s the most noticable and well known being cockney.

Anyway, you know your English/Scottish when your team is on the brink of qualifying for something (euro 2008) then choke.

[Hepcat]

Well I don't know how many other nationalities do this, but you're starting to get a Kiwi accent when you pronounce 'h' aitch and not haitch like English folk.

You know you're a New Zealander when you often say 'eauh' at the start and/or end of sentances.

You know you're a New Zealander when you use Maori words instead of some English words, even if you don't speak Maori. For example, kai instead of food, or puku instead of belly.

You know you're a New Zealander when you know what a hangi is and have helped prepare one.

[Zim]

None of these are mine, although most of them are accurate(or at least seem so to this Texan).

You know you're a Texan when:

-A summer temperature of over 100 degrees F (about 38 degrees C) is not a strange occurrence, and is in fact quite routine.

-You take great pride in living in a state that is not just physically larger than any other state (you usually conveniently forget Alaska), you're also bigger than any European state outside of Russia -- more than all of France and the UK combined, along with an economy larger than all but the very largest nations in the world. You probably take all that land and wealth as a symbol of freedom and opportunity, no matter who particularly it benefits.

-Unlike some states, you have the right to hold a job without being obliged to join a union. You know unions exist elsewhere, but you don't belong to one unless you're a teacher.

-Outside of rural areas, where they are actually useful, the wearing of boots and cowboy hats is an affectation. Because you live in a city, you see them fairly rarely. Exceptions, like the attending of a rodeo, are exceptions that prove the rule.

-They don't call the armadillo the unofficial roadbump for nothing.

-To you the idea of state supported schools without industrial-scale sports programs is probably inconceivable.

-As a student you have to go through several years of history about early Native populations, the Texan Revolution and Republic, and then general American and European history, especially British and French history. You probably know some about the rest of the world -- but not a lot.

-You'd rather that the government not spend so much money and time with social programs, although you don't mind the idea of their being there for you if you need them. You prefer other social institutions (like your local church, synagogue or mosque) to carry out those duties instead. You are far more likely to donate to charity than New Yorkers or Californians.

-Not only do you remember the Alamo, you remember Goliad, too.

-Aside from English, the next language you are most likely to speak at home is Spanish, of course.

-The likelihood that you identify as a Southerner decreases at a roughly regular rate as you move from East to West. But there's about a 25% chance, according to a recent Zogby poll, that you will consider yourself first a Texan, and only second an American.

I can personally vouch for this one. The closest I ever came to getting kicked to death was when I thoughtlessly asked for a Turkish Coffee in an Armenian restaurant.

[IrishArmenian]

Wait, we've breached the American Heartland and have made our way to Wisconsin?

[Lemur]

Sayat Nova in Chicago. Great restaurant, by the way. But there were some tense moments when I mispronounced "Armenian Coffee."

When your ears pop when you drive
When you get a headache at low altitudes
When you think the plains are the muggiest place on earth
When you have trouble breathing at sea level
When you are in gradeschool, eating your lunch in a bar
When you dont know what virginity is ( )
When water on the plains boils too quickly
When Anaconda is a city
When you cant recall who the president is
When you know Knievel as a drunk #$%hole
When you can spell Knievel...
When you can look out window and see a mine
When you celebrate St Patricks day with beer, a parade, beer, and beer
When you get celeberties and the Budwiser clidesdales because their vehicle broke down
When you have an A@W's
When you go to the drive-in every weekend
When you more movies than the video store
When your school used to have a Star Trek fanclub
When your mostly irish
When you think that illegal aliens are mostly canadian
When you shot a robber in your house, and it was perfectly legal
When you have the local cops chase you for fun
When your first car is a big 4 wheel drive truck (a dodge or ford...screw chevy)
When you know every rock song from the 80's
When you know where butte montana is
When your grandpa has a plaque in the Lady of the Rockies

I could go on and on...
