This type of dialog always reminds me of Toki Wartooth's way of speaking

It's a joke about the Netherlands claiming land from the sea

[–] Martineski@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Ah, it makes it even funnier. Here's a heart: ❤️

but what does "gib clay" mean?

[–] Pfosten@feddit.de 23 points 11 months ago

In the language of Polandball comics, it means "give land/territory".

"Gib" is taken from the German imperative for "give!"

Best theory is that "clay" as "land" originates from a bad machine translation.

It seems somene created a Wiki that covers these terms: https://www.polandballwiki.com/wiki/Terminology#Clay

[–] Firipu@startrek.website 4 points 11 months ago

"give clay". The Dutch wanted to have clay for their world famous clay baths...

Sealand was always there, but Flevoland was made this way. God created earth, but the Dutch, blablabla.

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 19 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The bible said god created earth but the Dutch made earth and cheese so the Dutch are more powerful than god

[–] Aagje_D_Vogel@lemdro.id 14 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm Dutch, can confirm. We used to pick on God in primary school for His lack of cheese during lunch. He was such a Chump back then. Amen.

Dutch cheese is delicious. A dangerous game having any near you while stoned though. The last time I bought a wheel to bring home as a present for someone, it didn't make it out of the hotel, never mind home to Ireland.

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

A WHEEL???

[–] Clanket@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

I'm not sure if that's the technical term, but yes, a wheel of cheese.

[–] HerbalGamer@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

That's a lot of cheese.

Thanks to the last few generations the sea will taketh back what was giveth from her.
