You don’t frighten us, English pig-dogs! Go and boil your bottoms, sons of a silly person!

I think for some it's a mix of patriotism and having poor taste in decor. I know people who also have American flag swim shorts, sunglasses, etc. Also, it's not exclusive to America. My British side of the family (especially the ones who've met the former Queen) have a weird amount of UK flag decor too, ranging from clock faces, throw pillows, and even an armchair covered in a giant union jack.

Emasculation, one of their biggest fears. Evangelicals are a demented bunch in serious need of mental health assistance.

Feisty, sure, but that's his style. He's the love bug, unlike Horace.

TIL you can trademark everyday words in the NL. I need to read more about this!

Edit: turns out this is why

Dutch is so whimsical. I personally giggle at winkelwagen. Winkel = shop, wagen = cart. Also, love that they say helaas pindakaas, meaning "that's too bad", but if literally translated means "unfortunately, peanut butter."

As someone who formerly worked at a restaurant, I agree.

We were located in a fenced off area owned by the same company that had a string of bars/clubs, so after 8pm only 21+ were allowed in, but on Saturday afternoons the stroller crowd would roll through and let their kids run around making a mess of all the tables.

I'm not against parents bringing their kids out for a meal, but if they're just sitting there pounding beer after beer and ignoring their chaotic unleashed children then it gets really old really fast.
