This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I probably can't name all 50 but 40+ is a safe bet.
The 10 you mentioned is really low and not representative. On average there will not be much difference between EU and US.

So I believe it's you who made the mistake of going on anecdotals of your Norwegian friend. Even if it's useless information to us we get a lot of it trough 'culture' and news if we want to or not.
Shooting here, train derailed there, flooding....
Saying half of us would think Navajo sounded rather insulting IMO.
