The American stereotype?

I don't own any guns and don't plan on ever doing so, I don't like American Football, I'm not obese, I'm not super-patrioticn about America...

No, I do not fit my country's stereotype.

I'm Canadian and say eh pretty much every sentence. But for entirely different reasons >_> (the languages that I'm surrounded by a lot (Japanese/Korean/Arabic) pretty much have "eh" in every sentence, my "eh" definitely makes it sound like I'm speaking a foreign language).

iginlawasup


I think you should give us steretypes because otherwise I dont really know of any that I may follow lol.

Can I ask,
Do you eat canadian bacon slathered in maple syrup while watchinghockey and own a maple tree?

Edit: My best friend is Canadian btw, and she doesnt act like any canadian sterotypes I know of. Though she does live on the Border so that may be why. If anything, the only stereotypical thing is thatshe has a french first and middle name lol, but she doesnt actually speak french.

I don't know what the stereotype for the British is, but all I know is our country has got too many idiots in. I guess we do use our hands to try and help us explain the big picture its just gestures like that no matter how subtle. Though Britian is becoming a funny old place now, I tend to notice ether people here will judge on appearance. I guess its the older generations assumption that all younger people are monkey testicles (my new substitute swear), and they're right, the vast majority are!- COUGH CHAVS COUGH COUGH!

I'd say that now that I'm an American living in the UK I do do certain things that are typical of an American. I had a 4th of July barbecue at my house recently for example.

well im from new hampshire, so i consider both "you" and "all" to be separate words. but other than that, im not remotely fat, i like football (theres been a dispute about its name in recent years, but football just puts its foot to the balls many other sports with such force that the name stuck), baseball is alright, apple pie might as well be mana from heaven, and i guess i am pretty crude.
