Question for Macedonians: what are your most iconic inside jokes?
Posted by ruffix68@reddit | AskBalkans | View on Reddit | 22 comments
what are some ‘inside joke’ references every Macedonian just knows? Like stuff that’s impossible to miss if you’re from there, but totally unknown to outsiders. I’m trying to surprise a Macedonian friend by dropping some super obscure references I’m definitely not supposed to know. Could be anything artists, memes, quotes, movies, whatever

Don't fart near a Greek or they'll try to put it in a jar and claim it like everything else

We are probably a little overprotective but that’s what happens when the Brit’s steal your artifacts and northern slavic neighbors claim your history

Why did they call them macedonians back then and not just ‘greeks’?
Pipimer@reddit
Because they were tribes the same with the Slavs or the Germans or the Spanish Russians, Serbians, Bulgarians, for the Slavs, Bavarians, Prussians and all the other states for Germany and Spain is Andalusia, Catalonia and all the rest states

You should check out the macedoniandna subreddit, its run by a greek guy, i think the results would make you seethe

Where that's prove me wrong? Macedonians themselves from the ancient times to today they say we are Greeks so am I
Jermajestyandtony@reddit
It shows that macedonians from macedonia have more macedonian dna than greeks…what a surprise
Pipimer@reddit
I saw and most of them have "Anatolian" so lol they are Greek too

People fight back when you try to steal their identity? Poor you, life must be so hard
Jermajestyandtony@reddit
Being macedonian is greek identity? Come on now
Pipimer@reddit
Yea Macedonia is a Greek province
Jermajestyandtony@reddit
Thats why ancient greeks banned themselves from participating in the olympics then huh
Pipimer@reddit
Macedonians participate in the Olympics, Great Alexander has also won, the only time that were baned was when they helped the Persians

Not really jokes so much as fun things to say, but when i finish a task i like to say gotovo vo ropotovo, and shuma vna dupka pna is another one

There are a lot and many would not fit, any specific topic you talk most about?
For example if he or she has a thick Macedonian accent I can drop in some Zaev english quotes we use when someone doesn’t speak English well.
ruffix68@reddit (OP)
Maybe like a TV show, a song, or even a quote I don’t really have anything more specific in mind tbh 😄 Just anything that’s super recognizable for Macedonians.

I could say a couple but I’d probably get flamed in this comment section lol
ruffix68@reddit (OP)
Why would you get flamed? Isn’t this a pretty tight-knit community where everyone gets along? 😄 If you don’t want to post them here, feel free to DM me I’m genuinely curious
LaVeriteEstDansLeVin@reddit
