RE: A Tour of Beautiful Shoes for YOU! Day 19

@bettyboob I think a lot of Dutch women have a bit of a sarcastically clever bitch in them 😉. I get this in Ireland all the time, you tell them you're Dutch and they go: Sprechen sie Deutsch? But the thing is, I never quite understood why the Germans are called German, the Americans American and somehow people from the Netherlands are called Dutch...it makes no sense..

Sort:  

As long as people know that I'm being sarcastic instead of being a bitch it's ok 😉
We only have ourselves to blame for the 'dutch' thing I guess... we called or own language 'duitsch' or 'dietsch' in the middle ages instead of 'nederlands' 🤔

ahhhh, learned something new now. I did not know that :) But yeah, sounds like we did it to ourselves...but did we call ourselves that too or just the language I wonder.

Just the language I think.. I have to ask my history teacher, but I haven't seen him in a while.. 😉
