    You know you're Dutch when you complain about it being too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer.

    You know you're Lebanese when you compliment or insult someone with a phrase that, if translated into English, would make you sound like a psycopath.

    Compliment Example
    "To'obrene", translation: Bury me

    Insult Example (something dad's usually say to their sons)
    "Ya ibn el kalb!": Son of a dog!
    "Kele khara" : Eat shit
    "Rah shalkhik!": I'm going to shred you.

    You know you're Welsh...
    - when you CARE when people say "Is that in England?"
    - when cheese on toast is your idea of haute cuisine
    - when you take an umbrella and/or raincoat everywhere... and no suntan lotion
    - when you're sick of the sheep jokes already ;)

    You Know You're Puerto Rican When...

    -You got scared whenever someone mentioned "el CUUUCO!" (I did, I would cry for hours.)

    -You've gone to titi's (aunt's) house and passed through the "bead curtain" in the living room.

    -Someone in your family is named Maria, Charlie, Papo, Ana or Carmen.

    -All cereal is called "con-flei."

    -You've put a penny on your forehead to stop a nose bleed.
    (My dad still makes me do this; I'm 22 years old.)

    -Your grandmother thinks Vick's vapor-rub is the miracle cure for everything. (Uh, it is!)

    -You call rug-carpeta , roof-rufo, parking-palkin, stress-estress, library-libreria (instead of biblioteca), boiler-boila, sucker-soca, or to knock-noquiar.

    -You have told your kid not to walk the floor barefoot or they'll catch a cold. (I'd get in trouble for that all the time.)

    -You need a cup of coffee after every meal, espresso boricua style "con leche".

    -Oh, and of course, your meals consist of rice, beans and some kind of meat.

    Hooray for being Puerto Rican! :)

    You know you are German when

    - you can watch a rapist on a roof live on tv for hours
    - sueing your neighbour sounds like a lot of fun
    - you don't sue the neighbour because he/she happens to be jewish
    - you stop at a red traffic light in the middle of nowhere at 4 AM with no other car in sight
