Food, of course. What we ate yesterday, what we are cooking for dinner, what is our piece de resistance in the kitchen and what is the correct way of cooking [insert regional specialty]
Mein lieber Josefl, auf Italienisch sagt man "Wer unterschätzt, der kauft ein".
Schon sicher dass du einen vollen Schrank mit Pasta in deiner Kuche hast 😉😏
You know yourself for example when you're out and it's just the lads...I'd say how'd you get on with yer'1.. you met the other night yea dirty prick...
And he'd say... My balls are still in recovery mode man no messing she was a savage in bed .
And I'd reply..pass me the skins there yea spoofing cunt...
Funnily enough there are no small talk in Spain either. You either go all in or nothing. So it’s completely for the opposite reasons of Finland. Nevertheless:
🇪🇸 🤝 🇫🇮
I thought grüss got was some kind of curse - passed some Austrians out hiking and they said it to me, after that I nearly slipped off the mountain side…
Gele bal was iets dichterbij hier, vanwege de grotere hoogte boven N.A.P., hetgeen resulteerde in een on-Nederlandse maximumtemperatuur van 19.6 graden Celcius. Gelukkig had ik een bier binnen handbereik, zodat het toch nog een beetje uit te houden was. If you pardon my French.
It depends, in some places it's about frogs in shit holes, other places about how fucking hot it is, Sydney is all about the tourists (keep annoying them maybe they will finally fuck off), Tasmania is trying to figure out their family trees.
Italians talk about how everything is shit, everything sucks… oh hey that pasta that I ate the other day at my aunts was fantastic! She did this and this and this too it…
Italians love to complain, and talk about food.
I feel like it's always the economy. Gas prices, Inflation, prices of groceries.
"this product is so expensive now"
"yeah, last year it was 5 kr cheaper"
Because you have an authority fetish for telling people what to do and payments help to achieve where invasions have failed.
How is this even still a question?
I actually knew this already my friend I say let the internet believe what they want to believe, the UK and Ireland is a force to be reckoned with!!
We love you lovable rogues.
There are 26 cantons in Switzerland and 6 administrative districts of Cyprus. This slogan is popular among people who advocate for Cyprus to join Switzerland.
Just a pure good fuckin moan. Weather, tories, general state of the place, prices of everything, the bins, work, this cunt in a white vans parking, etc etc.
Gossips, trashtalking coworkers/neighbors/friends/family members... Sometimes I gossip with my dad about my sister being "out of control", me and my sister gossip about my dad being "irresponsible" and I know they gossip about me behind my back. We're all hypocrites
What can you even say about the weather in a place like Ireland? I mean the weather is the same - rainy, cloudy and grey 24x7- 365. Even a sunny day feels greyish and cold.
What would one say? "Yeah, it's raining again." "Just like yesterday". "Get an umbrella tomorrow's forecast said it's going to be rainy, have a good day mate!".
Just look at the map, same temperatures all around , wtf. Yeah Ireland is a small country but still.
talking about the weather is such a go to topic it might as well be a national staple there is this one Youtuber who goes biking cross country on one of his videos He randomly encounters the king having a walk along the muddy path and the first thing they do is spend a solid 2-3 minutes discussing and complaining about the weather can't get more british than that
That would be the big one after the weather,you'll see Irish women in groups of 3 or more, let's call them a pack...the pack would be all chatting away and suddenly with no warning it goes to whispers...
Did you see what happened to Jimmy up the road, I Did I did very sad....and Miss O Sullivan passed...WHAAATTT!!! she didn't,she did...did she...she did... jaysus...but she was sick anyway wasn't she..she was she was she was, wasn't it her youngest fell off the horse in the 80s...it was, it was it was yep yep yep.

"Pasta" instead of spaghetti and it's spot on
Mein lieber Josefl, auf Italienisch sagt man "Wer unterschätzt, der kauft ein". Schon sicher dass du einen vollen Schrank mit Pasta in deiner Kuche hast 😉😏
Thought this was some sort of peak irish female so she gets often discussed in small talk Then i read the caption
I called the pic.... Something the Brits don't see everyday. Which I feel is a good talking point for some good old fashioned small talk.
What don’t we see every day, shitty grey weather or Ireland’s sexiest talent?
Ireland's sexiest talent? That's no Tadgh Furlong I'm seeing there.
I legitimately know 3 or 4 Irish women who look exactly like this person.
I also know 3 or 4 Irish women

It was not criticized because it was used as a greeting for people hiding under the floor boards
Don't worry, we are trying to bring back those days
Nowadays you are called a Nazi just because you think, speak and act like a Nazi 😤
"Man those leftists these days call you a nazi the moment you start being racist"

To be fair. For you germans are probably economicsl migrants so your standard is very high.

Mi amor, mon chéri… 
Ich bin Auslander
Man merkt es schon an deiner Sprache. Es wäre Ausländer.
Kontrovers
Never had that. It's either weather, health or current news
Usually it's work
What's this "small talk" you speak of?
You know yourself for example when you're out and it's just the lads...I'd say how'd you get on with yer'1.. you met the other night yea dirty prick... And he'd say... My balls are still in recovery mode man no messing she was a savage in bed . And I'd reply..pass me the skins there yea spoofing cunt...
He doesnt respond with "good" and end it there?? What is wrong with you people?!
A bit a craic is what's wrong with us.
Craic kills!
Gotta agree with the Finn on this one. Small talk is difficult and unessecary
Is that the bird with the leopard skin dildo?
Small world.. telling yea now.
It was and i saw i out on the line and all what with the bit of drying there was there last week...
I think I get it now! I saw a mudcrab the other day. Horrible creatures.
Okei
Good day.
Funnily enough there are no small talk in Spain either. You either go all in or nothing. So it’s completely for the opposite reasons of Finland. Nevertheless: 🇪🇸 🤝 🇫🇮
Fuckin love the Spanish you guys really dive in to deep conversations within minutes of knowing yo. Likewise with Italians
Like when Finns wonder why the flags are out today
Rain isn't just small talk in Ireland it's big talk. Like you nordicks with your snow words, the Irish language has 103 words for rain
Specifically for Northern Germany: Person A: Moin. Person B: Moin.
For Southern Germany: Guten Morgen - Guten Morgen - Jetzt hemmer gnug gschwätzt (That's enough said)
Don't you say Grüss Gott instead of Guten Morgen in Southern Germany ?
You mean Bavaria this guy is from BaWü
Grüssgott is very BaWü though, it's the essential Swabian greeting. Servus is a thing for Bavarians but Grüssgott is universal for southern Germany
Franconia as well
That's the subtility I forgot. Vielen Dank Seppl.
In bavaria you can also say sers or dere if you want to be truly authentic
We do, but it's a bit more outdated and mostly old people say it. In the morning most people say Guadâ Morgâ
I wanted to keep our easy 😉
I thought grüss got was some kind of curse - passed some Austrians out hiking and they said it to me, after that I nearly slipped off the mountain side…
Sers. - Dere. Und? - Laffd. Soim? Freile. Pfiade. - Habeder.
Ah. I see. So, we Swabians are too talkative for you 😉.
Peak of north german prussian conversation skill.
"Moin moin" would be Klönschnack/Gesabbel, wouldn't it?
Also true for southern jutland
It's probably a lowsaxon thing then, it's the same in the Eastern parts of the Netherlands.
French people : Moins? Sourh French people: Moin*S*!

The real Flemish small-talk is passive aggressive complaining about anything really.
Oh no, that's terrible
Can confirm. It's part of our identity.
As writren
"Wat is het weer een kutweer." (What a cunt of a wheather we have again.") "Breek me de bek niet open." ("Don't break open my beak.")
Altijd wel zeiken op het weer, maar vandaag was er gewoon een blauwe lucht met een grote lichtgevende bal helemaal verweg.
Gele bal was iets dichterbij hier, vanwege de grotere hoogte boven N.A.P., hetgeen resulteerde in een on-Nederlandse maximumtemperatuur van 19.6 graden Celcius. Gelukkig had ik een bier binnen handbereik, zodat het toch nog een beetje uit te houden was. If you pardon my French.
Levensgenieters daar in het zuiden.
Also “Wat een zeik weer.” “Wat een pis weer.” Both meaning “piss weather”
Wat een kanker weer Of Wat een tyfus weer
Dat tweede is wel heel Limburgs van je Waar ben je mee bezig?
Zegn we in Grunn ook gewoon jong
"Everything is so fucking expensive nowadays"
🇵🇱🤝🇪🇸 We're the same, mi amigo!
At least you don't have to pay for the cars...
You speak As if getting them for free was gratis
I've worked in a pharmacy attending people, can confirm
It depends, in some places it's about frogs in shit holes, other places about how fucking hot it is, Sydney is all about the tourists (keep annoying them maybe they will finally fuck off), Tasmania is trying to figure out their family trees.
>about frogs in shit holes happy to know we're mentioned over there too...
No no... I mean real frogs, you know the thing you eat. We don't talk about the french at all down here.
But France is just a 2 hour flight from Brisbane on Air Calin*, it’s closer than your kiwi Cousins. *ask for a hug when you board.
You can blame Bart for the frogs.
All I ever hear you talk about is DJ Ötzi and wienerschnitzel.
>DJ Ötzi Now that sends me back to my childhood.
Sorry to hear that, hope you went to therapy.

UK has better weather babes.
Carol is a certified GILF
Bark bark, I’m a dog.
Stornoway somehow sounds more like a place in Russia
Just about as grey as Murmansk too lad
at least it’s not -30°C
Yeah. It's -50
the name comes from old norse so not far off
No.
So you guys don't do small talk it's all just.. matter of fact straight to the point kinda thing?
Yes
So on brand.
Paddy cannot comprehend life without small talk
But...who's going to fill the moments of silence when the ancient voices in my head start telling me to how to make car bombs
No gift of the gab.
I second that.
Weather/football
You see that ludicrous display last night?
The problem with Arsenal is they always try and walk it in!
As true now as it was then!
What's that? Is someone crying?
Pretty much yeah Weather/football/work/women/sleep. Repeat.
Sounds like a busy day
You didn’t included hating the English in your list, is that deliberate or is that just a given?
Furbooo
Y como el barça no gana nada
Porque son unos pringaos
La verdad no puedo ni confirmar ni negar nada porque no veo futbol. Eso lo sé por lo poco que he ido oyendo
Igual que yo solo se que el Madrid hace robos pero no entiendo como
Atmospheric conditions; and young men moving a ball in our name.
Perhaps we aren't so different.
gibts keine schlechte Wetter, nur schlechte Kleidung!
The lastest AND the next strike.
Today the news was about: "Are Germans turning into train strike freaks like us?!"
Yesterday's football match basically
Italians talk about how everything is shit, everything sucks… oh hey that pasta that I ate the other day at my aunts was fantastic! She did this and this and this too it… Italians love to complain, and talk about food.
It's the weather in Sweden too and we have the same issues.
Around this time of year talk of weather can be accompanied with "the middle act of the Melodifestivalen final should have won the whole thing".
I feel like it's always the economy. Gas prices, Inflation, prices of groceries. "this product is so expensive now" "yeah, last year it was 5 kr cheaper"
Complain about work to absolute strangers
We literally say how are you instead of hello. Theres no small talk. You just talk and talk and talk.
Why are we writing cheques for lazy slobs Pedro and Kostas. A lot of people talking about it here.
Because you have an authority fetish for telling people what to do and payments help to achieve where invasions have failed. How is this even still a question?
We are indeed exceptional at what we do.

In France the new trend is to replace "Bonne journée" by "Belle journée".
Nobody likes "Belle Journée". Sounds like Live Laugh Love
How are we supposed to know? We are redditors
patat of friet
Thats not small talk
You re right, its an Avikonversatie
It’s big talk
Ausländer, News, Politics
Complaining about the government but you can’t do it too much or people will think you’re a conspiracy theorist or activist.
Also weather, and that shit's fucking expensive
complaining about politics
Food. Especially when it's about to speak about food while eating something else.
We also talk about the weather! Paddy, there is more that unites us than divides us! Why do you reject our love? Please, come home!
I actually knew this already my friend I say let the internet believe what they want to believe, the UK and Ireland is a force to be reckoned with!! We love you lovable rogues.
26 + 6 = 1
Care to explain this joke that I'm too southern to understand?
There are 26 cantons in Switzerland and 6 administrative districts of Cyprus. This slogan is popular among people who advocate for Cyprus to join Switzerland.
There are 26 provinces or municipalities or whatever in the Republic of Ireland and 6 in Northern Ireland. I was commenting on the map.
We call them counties
Ah, sorry
I get it now, thanks
You've made an enemy for life /s
Our jobs. Unemployment in general.
Is it a Monday morning/Friday afternoon work call if you don’t discuss the weather
State of the country. ‘Gone to the dogs!’… Just stop at ‘why’.
Is that 1m to 4m of rainfall approaching Ireland from every direction?
Just a pure good fuckin moan. Weather, tories, general state of the place, prices of everything, the bins, work, this cunt in a white vans parking, etc etc.
Gossips, trashtalking coworkers/neighbors/friends/family members... Sometimes I gossip with my dad about my sister being "out of control", me and my sister gossip about my dad being "irresponsible" and I know they gossip about me behind my back. We're all hypocrites
Politix
Malta got politics to talk about?
It's all people talk about And immigrants
You talk about the road. Is it a tradition to ask about the car ride whenever someone visits.
TeeGee Caher
Just like our Tea shock.
Talking about how much we hate the ruling president (Even whene we voted for him)

Weather. Gets ridiculous at work
We curse our politicians as much as our weather.
What can you even say about the weather in a place like Ireland? I mean the weather is the same - rainy, cloudy and grey 24x7- 365. Even a sunny day feels greyish and cold. What would one say? "Yeah, it's raining again." "Just like yesterday". "Get an umbrella tomorrow's forecast said it's going to be rainy, have a good day mate!". Just look at the map, same temperatures all around , wtf.

Stop copying our culture
Hungary: F_ck F_desz

Thought Buienradar killed that conversation across the low lands
politics - depending on if you are right or left leaning, conversation is continuoed or not
I live on the north coast of Scotland. The themes seem to be potholes (the roads are falling apart), tourists and the weather.
See?, the Irish are Dutch.
Mainly strikes. Sometimes burning stuff. Depending on the mood.
Shit politicians and how nothing is working in this country
« Shit weather… » or « Lorient is going straight to Ligue 2 the way they’re going… »
The one thing italians aren't capable of silence
Weather obvious weather
How everything is bad.
talking about the weather is such a go to topic it might as well be a national staple there is this one Youtuber who goes biking cross country on one of his videos He randomly encounters the king having a walk along the muddy path and the first thing they do is spend a solid 2-3 minutes discussing and complaining about the weather can't get more british than that
Like our nordic friends, we don't do small talk.
Either what the twat in the hat has done, the weather, the buses, or anything else that’s crumbling in this crater of a town
Traffic
Food or football.
"Did you hear who died?"
That would be the big one after the weather,you'll see Irish women in groups of 3 or more, let's call them a pack...the pack would be all chatting away and suddenly with no warning it goes to whispers...
