I wish there was more of it lol

[-] EtherealMoon@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

One of the few subs I actually miss.

This type of dialog always reminds me of Toki Wartooth's way of speaking

[-] Martineski@lemmy.dbzer0.com 37 points 11 months ago

I don't get it but I like it.

[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 70 points 11 months ago

It's a joke about the Netherlands claiming land from the sea

[-] Martineski@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 11 months ago

Ah, it makes it even funnier. Here's a heart: ❀️

but what does "gib clay" mean?

[-] Pfosten@feddit.de 23 points 11 months ago

In the language of Polandball comics, it means "give land/territory".

"Gib" is taken from the German imperative for "give!"

Best theory is that "clay" as "land" originates from a bad machine translation.

It seems somene created a Wiki that covers these terms: https://www.polandballwiki.com/wiki/Terminology#Clay

[-] Firipu@startrek.website 4 points 11 months ago

"give clay". The Dutch wanted to have clay for their world famous clay baths...

[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 2 points 11 months ago

Give land/territory

[-] devfuuu@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

After rereading multiple times to understand it, i think it means the small blob wanted land so "give clay", the other big bullies didn't want to contribute, so started taking from the sea.

[-] kWazt@lemmy.world 20 points 11 months ago

Sealand was always there, but Flevoland was made this way. God created earth, but the Dutch, blablabla.

[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 19 points 11 months ago

The bible said god created earth but the Dutch made earth and cheese so the Dutch are more powerful than god

[-] Aagje_D_Vogel@lemdro.id 14 points 11 months ago

I'm Dutch, can confirm. We used to pick on God in primary school for His lack of cheese during lunch. He was such a Chump back then. Amen.

Dutch cheese is delicious. A dangerous game having any near you while stoned though. The last time I bought a wheel to bring home as a present for someone, it didn't make it out of the hotel, never mind home to Ireland.

A WHEEL???

[-] Clanket@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I'm not sure if that's the technical term, but yes, a wheel of cheese.

[-] HerbalGamer@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

That's a lot of cheese.
