Yeah the “wal” part of wales more accurately means the people that speak a foreign language. It is the same root as the wall in Cornwall (as back in the day everyone there spoke Cornish). Also, in Belgium the French speaking community are referred to as the walloons from the same root. But the BEST part of all of this is that walnut is also derived from this meaning because it came originally from Persia and when the proto Germanics first saw this nut they basically called it “nut from the people that speak funny”
8:10 yeah that map is wrong for Portugal, Compal is not a soda it's a natural fruit drink, unless they were reffering to Sumol, which is part of the same company and that one is a soda
John Smith's?! Nobody drinks that. I can't even remember seeing it available in a supermarket. Tin-wise, I would have thought that it would be a lager like Carling or Stella.
That's crazy, because I have had recurring dreams of teeth falling out. Not like every night, or even regularly, but every so often for decades, but I had no idea that it was so common. The other similar one I've had was that I'm forced to defend myself from whom or whatever, but when I fight back, my attempts are feeble and impotent. So, I try harder, but like no matter how hard I hit them right in the face, they don't seem effected by it at all.
Yeah teeth falling out dreams is very common, it's apparently supposed to be a 'sign you're scared of loosing something' but as a psychology graduate, I recon it's just common because it's a legitimate fear humans have xD you get ONE set of adult teeth and we already had the experience of the baby ones falling out, what if the adult ones fall out?? Or get knocked out?? And then they're gone forever!!?? Terrifying thought for many.
@@Alexandra-privacc I've kind of interpreted both as a vague anxiety about having been negligent or unprepared, and therefore vulnerable and ineffective, or something like that.
That beer chart is rage bait. Germany isn’t Becks. Becks is shite. Netherlands is NOT Heineken, it’s Hertog Jan or Brand. We Dutch call Heineken owl piss
The most popular beer in most countries is complete garbage. Because it's cheap and bought en masse. Though I would have figured Germany would be "Oettinger" - I guess it's less well known internationally.
Finland means Land of the Finns and not Land. Our native name Suomi however is bit more interesting, as we have multiple theories of it, but do not know which one is correct. Most commonly accepted one would be that it came from a tribe that called themselfs Suomi (Finland Proper region), who came up with their name from Suomaa (swamp). Another fun fact, we have dozen words for swamp, they change between our historic tribes/dialects.
3:30 not a driver whatsoever (unless we count euro truck simulator, then I'm a pro), but a person with an above average memory - I remember years ago, back when I lived in Poland, I have heard that apparently driving on the left is meant to be safer than on the right - don't remember the source but it was pointing out the fact that when you drive on the left side (steering wheel on the right) you are using your off-hand to shift gears, while having your dominant hand on the wheel at all times (unless you're a leftie). If you're a driver or know about research on this and I'm wrong feel free to share your thoughts/experience with us in the comments :))))))))))
04:24 That isn't showing South Sudan as using Safari, when a country is greyed out like that it means "no data available". Bit confusing that they used a different shade of grey for Safari, but they are quite clearly not the same colour.
8:40 As someone currently attending college in the U.S, I can tell you! Barely ANYONE is paying that much money. Most people have either scholarship from the university (can be academic/athletic/specialty program), FAFSA money, or you get money from local/open enrollment private scholarships. Personally, without scholarships I'd be paying a little over $24,000 a year (in-state public university), but with a tuition waver, academic scholarship from the university, and a private scholarship I earned from the governor of my state, I barely pay $2,000 a year.
Why is Russia dreaming of getting bitten by snakes? The only snake there inhabits like 2 kilometers of the southernmost point in Russia and has venom milder than a bee (exaggeration)
why is everyone else in the Western world (apart from me seemingly) dreaming about their teeth falling out? and is that the WHOLE dream??? that's it? just your teeth fall out... is it bad that I barely ever have dreams (at least as far as I can remember after I've woken up) and the last one I can remember was about 2 years ago? Does *_THAT_* mean something?
@@user-xb7wq2gw3v it means anxiety, fear and uncertainty that I don't have dreams? That doesn't seem right, I'm not anxious or fearful. And if it is dreaming about your teeth falling out that means anxiety then that means most people are in the UK are anxious and fearful... I guess maybe that's possible 🤷
In Australia, we call fizzy drink "soft drink", and I realised it's probably because almost all other drinks are hard, as in they contain alcohol (we love to drink) (probably too much)
We just got back from Japan and I totally agree with you about the cars driving on the left 😊 ETA - not to rub it in but I did get to see a capybara up close in Japan & even fed it some grass, all whilst it was chilling in it's bath.
I often have dreams of piloting the uss enterprise away from enemy ships, they always catch up to us and my crew always die screaming. I would call it a dream, but it is more of a nightmare.
9:25 those numbers are housing included (thats what "on campus" means). Tuition alone is $9k for in-state. This is also just the sticker price before financial aid and scholarships
8:10 KOFOLA! I'm Polish, but whenever I go to Czechia, I buy like 10L of Kofola, it's fantastic. Wish they were exporting it to Poland to regular stores, it would easily replace CocaCola, no doubt about it. 12:20 TESCO is no longer in Poland 😢 I had it across the street, it was open 24/7, it was fantastic, house parties with access to so much alcohol just across the street at any time of the night were crazy lmao
It's wednesday because it's very close to shit. In French wednesday is mercredi and shit is merde. We used to say merdecredi when we were kids. It's the same for spanish because they're pretty close I guess.
In the Netherlands we pronounce "chips" as "ships", so instead of saying "shit" we say "chips" when cursing isnt appropriate. We also use some other English curse words, like the one that starts with F, and we have hundreds of our own. We really love swearing.
the vintage satirical map is really interesting tho. the big guy in russia kinda looks like ivan the terrible (even though he'd been dead for centuries when the map was made), britain is gnawing on indias bones, and norway and sweden are just chilling. wonder what happened to sweden's southern part tho
In an episdoe of Bar Resuce, a bar had a claw machine where you can capture the lobster you want to eat. Worse of all, they'd put the lobsters in the pot when the water was still cold.
Hi George! I pay 80k+ a year for my college, it’s in state as well. Also, if you aren’t aware of the difference between college and university, colleges don’t have graduate programs while unis do.
The most common dream in Russia is a dream in which you are walking along endless flights of stairs in an apartment building, some of the stairs are broken and you cannot get to the other side
(3:25) There's also no statistical significance driving on the left either, so it really doesn't matter. The British isles being islands doesn't cause much issue either.
My most common nightmare is having to run but my legs not working. So I end up trying to run on my knees, it feels so weird. I haven't ran IRL in a while but I'm scared to do so now. Also, yes, "SHIPS" is something I said many a time as a child 😂
To be fair, since Microsoft ditched Internet Explorer (html-based) and upgraded to Edge (Chromium-based), google chrome and edge are almost the same browser.
4:45 this really confuses me. "Teeth falling out" is not only the most ANYWHERE (I've never had a dream about that, as best as I can recall it has never even been a minor element of a dream) but it is massively common in multiple developed countries? I would have thought it was hard to find a clear majority leader in any category (as in if you took 100 people, interviewed them you'd probably get about 60 different types of dream with only a handful of people having had similar ones on the most broad topics) Why are most people dreaming about their teeth falling out? *Is it bad that I've never had a dream about my teeth falling out? Does **_that_** mean something?* Does most of central Europe dreaming about pregnancy mean the guys are also having dreams where they are pregnant or are there just more women than men in Germany and Italy so that isn't the right thing to derive from the data?
10:37 I guess Spaniards say "miércoles" (Wednesday) because it begins with "miér-", as does "mierda" (shit); same with French. BTW, in Portugal we say "fogo!" because it has the same first syllable as "foda-se!" ("fuck!").
The left hand side is actually better because most people are right handed and in the uk if you drive a manual you hold the wheel with your right and do other things like using a cars screen or AC or shifting with your left hand
Killing a lobster right before cooking it is the ideal. Pls don't use the google AI for search results :') It gets its info from reddit a lot of the time, and tells people to either add the Golden Gate Bridge to their recipes, "For great views", or tells people to jump OFF of the Golden Gate Bridge to "help with depression". It also told someone to add glue to their pizza to help the cheese stay on better, and encouraged eating a rock a day for "health benefits"..
6:40 If you detach London's GDP from the UK's, the GDP per capita of the rest of the country is comparable to Mississippi's, which is the poorest US state by that measure.
Going to college in America is a huge waste of money unless you want a very specific kind of job you can only get if you have a degree. The amount you shell out is never worth it - especially after the pandemic, where most people will hire you whether you're actually qualified or not. But here college is so ingrained into the culture you're made to feel subhuman if you choose not to go, or if you drop out - but going usually means putting yourself into lifelong debt, and these days it's just rarely worth it.

12:20 the map is no longer actual, there is no Tesco in Poland anymore :(
Yeah, R.I.P Tesco in Poland [*]
10:36 They say "Wednesday" because it sounds similar to "Shit" - "Miércoles" and "Mierda" respectively.
And in Swedish I assume it's iron because it's not too far from the devil.
In the Netherlands it's chips because only the 'ps' sounds is pronounced differently from 'shit'

In English “Wales” is based off the old English word for foreigner.
But in Welsh our word “Cymru” means “fellow countryman”.

I swear every day there's a new GeorgeM video at the exact time i eat my dinner
