Massholes

A term New Englanders who reside outside of Massachusetts know very well. They are reckless, careless drivers from Massachusetts who think that they own the road. It’s rare to ever see one use their turn signal.

Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine have friendly drivers, and our roads would be perfect if not for the massholes and New Yorkers.

Swamp Yankee

A New England version of a redneck. Typically from rural southern New England. Though not all are, Swamp Yankees are heavily concentrated in Windham County, CT, and southern Worcester County, MA (the swamp Yankee part of Worcester County is basically a triangle, with one corner at the southern end of Worcester, one in Sturbridge, and one in Milford). They are similar in many ways to rednecks, though are only slightly racist (as compared to very racist rednecks). They can't pronounce the letter R unless it's before a vowel. True Swamp Yankees are a dying breed. They used to be found all over New England but are pretty much only found now in Windham County, CT, and Southern Worcester County, MA.

If you drive on I-395 between Norwich and Worcester, you'll be driving through Swamp Yankee country

Canada

That part of America that just couldn’t be bothered to tag along when we rebelled against the British. After this, America and Britain fought over this land on numerous occasions (Maine border disputes, lake of the Woods map mistake, 54’40 or fight) yet Britain still held on to it for 200 years. Unlike America, Canadian independence was a gradual process, not an immediate one. It was granted increased autonomy and full independence in 1982.

America and Canada should never have been separated. Culturally we are very similar, we are located on the same continent, and unlike America’s southern border, all you’ll find dividing America and Canada are painted lines on roads, flower pots, and the border runs right through a few towns. Stark contrast to America’s southern border, just proves US and Canada are alike enough to trust each other.

Making an ass out of yourself

When someone thinks they're being cool or impressing people, but really they're making themselves sound stupid and making themselves look like a fool.

John made an ass out of himself when he claimed to be a history expert but then got world war I and world war II mixed up.

A drunk guy made an ass out of himself when he was singing lyrics to a non existent song outside the bar

Two examples of making an ass out of yourself.

Joe Biden

The man who couldn’t even be president for a day without totally screwing it up. A ticking time bomb.

Joe Biden opened our borders, killed thousands of jobs, and entered back into dysfunctional international organizations, all on his first day in office.

Austria Hungary

An Empire that existed over a hundred years ago. It formed in 1867 at the collapse of the Austrian Empire and collapsed due to ethnic tensions in World War I in 1918. In consisted of the Austrian half of the empire, which was mostly German speaking, and the predominately Hungarian speaking half of the empire. It is often called "The Dual Monarchy" because of it's Austrian royals and Hungarian royals. It was a European powerhouse which was a key player in European politics in the late 19th century. In the early 1900's, the empire annexed Bosnia which had a high population of ethnic Serbs. This led to tensions with Serbia, which led to World War I, during which the empire collapsed due to internal revolutions by the empire's ethnic minorities. Czechoslovakia, Austria, and Hungary were created from the empire's territories, while Poland, Romania, Italy, and Yugoslavia gained lands from the collapse of the empire. The empire was doomed to failure from the moment it was created because of the many ethnic groups in constant struggle for representation. The empire's collapse is often incorrectly attributed to World War I, but it really collapsed due to internal revolts which the empire, already weak from war, could not defeat. The war, if anything, accelerated the demise of the empire, it didn't cause it.

Austria Hungary was a European powerhouse, but due to its ethnically diverse nature, it was doomed from the moment it was born
