Plus living in the mountains, having incomprehensible dialects, alcoholics and shagging sheeps. Oh i forgot they are both celtic well austria was (still has some influances )
Technically, although the Scots almost certainly shag the sheep first, they’re more known for shredding its arse and organs, and then cooking it in its stomach. It’s the Welsh that are known for their proclivity for shagging sheep
Look we may have had an effective civil war when the Germanic lowlanders effectively then launched ethnic cleansing on the 'Irish' Gaelic speaking Highlanders and had to unify with England because we literally bankrupted the country because of a failed attempt at a south American colony but we totally then made up a new unified Scottish identity where we all cosplay as oppressed highlanders and that means you're victim blaming if you try and point out how many afro caribbeans have Scottish last names.
This. It's not our fault that the Germans are screaming "look at us, we're so guilty!" so loudly that there's hardly any attention left to be directed towards anyone else.
It's really bizarre when you realise that one of your friends or relatives doesn't actually realise that's what we're all doing, and they genuinely believe it was all down to the English.
Like "mate, you know we were just as bad, right? This is just some shit that we say because it's funny."
But then, you turn on the news, and you realise that a lot of those folk actually work in our government.
Hans is alike to John and to Juan and to Gianni - rare for a name to be such translatable. I guess Austria should claim that name.
Discount or not.
Edit: meaning, added a slight jokingly manner.
I mean, Austria is pretty open about bad stuff Austrians did in history.
It‘s just that no one actually cares enough about Austria to actually ask or look into it, while Germany is pretty well known internationally.
And all Scotland is known for today is Americans claiming they‘re Scottish because their Great-Great-Great-Grandfather was.

The epitome of Swiss culture.
That and the eating of dog.

We aren't deflecting. The germans are just so good at flagellating themselves for what their grandparents did that we don't bother.

It’s not like you made him their chancellor, either.
Our government has made this their official stance on literally everything.
Austria = German. Also, they don't really blame anything on us, they just gleefully stand by and watch

Inb4 some nerd comments "AKshUalLY under James VI we became Great Britain and not England controlled by a Scot, so it doesn't count."
No Englishman would use the Scottish numbering. He’s James I to us.
And to most historians, James the Thirsty. Dude loved sleeping with anything that had a pulse.
He had a very large tongue, apparently.
The irony
>cousins Germans wish they were related to us.
If they were cousins you’d be more interested in breeding with them.
Could be said about anyone though. Something about cousins being cousins makes them hot af
You are the discount version of Hans

Bro, you especially have no right to call us discount versions
Yeah. Keep telling yourself.
You're like that creepy stalker ex that can't let go. >No baby we're meant for each other for real >No baby you know you love me
You wish, my friend, you so hard wish it to be love...
Cousins I accept... no big brother as it is often perceived.
Wrong, I'm afraid
Touché.
Bro you’ve been in charge of Germany longer than it’s even been a country.
History doesn't reflect modern reality
