This isn’t nearly subtle enough to be funny. Just call a doner a gyro and call a gyro a doner.

When with Turks don't forget to refer to baklava as your favorite greek desert.

Or call their coffee Greek Coffee and vice versa.

Just don't order it that way unless you like stranger's spit in it.

If you want to double that emotional damage for Greece, you could call them the Turkish Republic of South Macedonia

[-] HerrVorragend@lemmy.world 26 points 8 months ago

And once they are staring daggers at you, be sure to follow up with calling them 'typical over-emotional southerners without self control'.

Perfect way to make new friends /s

[-] Siethron@lemmy.world 22 points 8 months ago

Just call them all Persians

[-] wallmenis@lemmy.one 21 points 8 months ago

As a Greek, Fuck you.

Greater Kurdistan

I do similar here. I call Puerto Ricans, Cuban; Cubans, Mexican; and Mexicans, Puerto Rican.

They fucking hate it. I also live an hour away from Miami, so I get to do it all the time :D

It's mostly friends that I fuck with that way, but I do it to strangers from time to time too.

Strangers will just think you're a estúpido gringo that doesn't know geography lol

Oh I assure you, most of them are so racist towards one another that it usually pisses them off. But I don't mind pissing off racists.

Greece will forever be South North Macedonia to me

[-] Rolive@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 8 months ago

Just say that baklava was invented by their neighbours.

[-] SonnyVabitch@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

"Mainland Taiwan" will earn you an instafrown from Winnie the Pooh.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

Why would you antagonize anyone who lives where there's such delicious food? That's how you don't get invited to the cookout.

[-] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Could probably do similar with Pakistan and India

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Make enemies fast...

[-] ngn@lemy.lol 4 points 8 months ago

As a Turk, Fuck you.
