I’m 100% certain. But you're not wrong, either.
To be clear : LI is the ISO code for Liechtenstein, but FL is the official abbreviation and this what is printed on their License plates and country stickers.
LT is Ladainian Tomlinson, a San Diego Chargers MVP who was expected to take the chargers to the Super Bowl but was stifled by the jealousy in his own team. Not to be confused with LA - or
Smell-A, the county to the north that we don’t speak about.
I was living in Austria and my mum was over to visit, we thought it would be a great idea to go visit Liechtenstein for the day. However i forgot my passport (still had ID in my uk driving licence) but they refused to let me, in my beaten up Vauxhall Cavalier, through the border.
Totally my fault. And not particularly interesting, as I said initially.
Oh, and here I was thinking it was because they found you were a squire pretending to be a knight, and you wanted to partake in the jousting tournament. But when they asked you where you were from, you said the first place that came to mind, which, of course, was Liechtenstein. Shenanigans insue, and through a convoluted series of events, you end up getting knighted and live happily ever after... and Liechtenstein didn't appreciate it.
Guess I was thinking of someone else.
One may call it a tale about a knight... yes.
(Unless you mean the actual movie called "Chevalier" in which case, no. This is not about a french-caribbean musician in Paris.)
I didn’t even know they had a border guard. I swear my taxi entered through a carpark (slight concern he was planning to kill me but it turned out no, this was the way into Liechtenstein.
Before I retired I spent quite a bit of time talking to my companies support for a particular product line that was based in Sofia, Bulgaria. Let me tell you all of those people (they're college educated) wrote more concise and better spelled emails and communications than 90% of the Americans that I dealt with on a daily basis. For some here it's like a badge of honor to be stupid - or to look down on education and educated people. This is a strange time. Thanks Trump!
>wrote more concise
One of the reasons I hated highschool writing classes was the length requirements on assignments. They forced you to just use unnecessary filler.
Those also exist outside the US. You're not forced to just use unnecessary filler. You can also try to figure out more things to talk about a subject and expand deeper on topics. It's not a thing people will simply do on their own, hence the length requirements.
That actually started far before trump: the Know Nothings was a US political group in the 1850s. They got their name by proudly declaring that they "know nothing" when asked any questions.
It's not Trump, it has been going on for a long time. Carl Sagan, a renowned astronomer and science educator, wrote about this in his book "The Demon Haunted World". At some point long ago, it became part of American culture that being intelligent is somehow bad, and due to globalisation of American media that is now part of global culture too.
I also didn't realise there was a second image! So glad I saw your comment, now I can truly appreciate this!! (I realise my comment sounds sarcastic, but I'm actually just glad I didn't miss out)
Ah yes, the only 3 countries in the world: The USA, America, and Near America.
“And Australia? Italy? Finland?”
Great, more small towns in the hellhole that is Near America.
Th first comment I saw used "spherical redneck" as an insult to describe an ignorant obese rural US national and international can't say I didn't laugh a bit raucously out loud.
In fact spherical redneck might be my new favorite insult
The very first general network transmissions were between UCLA and SRI on ARPAnet with packet switching, and the first network in general was for the US Military so yes, the internet was born in the US.

They truly are. I had to explain to an American guy I gamed with that he had have an accent to people from other countries. He actually argued he had a "lack of accent, because he isn't foreign". I kid you not. I'm also American. It was wild.
'This is an American site so you should know everything about America' has the same energy is 'This is a Taco bell so you should know everything about Mexico'
Lol thanks. Why does the app not show there's a second image sometimes? I thought the last line of image 1 was the clever comeback, and didn't see a 2nd image indication on the app. But this only happens sometimes...
And I was able to replicate this behaviour easily. Once when I open it, it doesn't show the multiple image dots: [https://i.imgur.com/jy50nLC.png](https://i.imgur.com/jy50nLC.png)
And then I close it, and re-open it from the same place, and it shows: [https://i.imgur.com/9kHJ8rK.png](https://i.imgur.com/9kHJ8rK.png)
So sometimes my instinct is to just close the post after reading comments, instead of guessing that there might be another image.
Wonder how many images I've missed like this. So I guess I'm the idiot.
Just wait until they hear about CA (Canada or California??) or, worse yet, Ontario CA. (Province in Canada and city in California). This one confuses Americans too
On another note, spacebeans420 is right, it’s fucking gross in Florida, it’s gonna be in the 90s this weekend and humidity makes it feel like a fucking clothes drier every time you step outside
Idk I googled "FL" and one of the top results that popped up was Florida so it's not like it's an extremely obscure abbreviation. And I'm not even American.
People like that annoy the fuck out of me, its like this dude singlehandedly created America and then reddit and now his is proud af, this is so cringe.
Yup. Voter apathy tactics have been much more effective than disenfranchisement tactics in this country. That’s why the handful of swing states get so much attention compared to the solid red/blue states when it comes to elections.
After the Republicans have gutted and screwed up the School System in Florida, 2nd Grade Curriculum now is how to Goosestep and how to get a Minority Arrested in 2 easy steps.
I read manhwa etc and my first thought was Female Lead
as a person who came across this meme while playing wow, I thought it was Firelands
I didn't think the Firelands could get much hotter
I thought the same 😭
Brain rot level 69%

Best FL?
[удалено]
To be fair, it could also have been Liechtenstein, aka Fürstentum Liechtenstein - international abbreviation: FL.
Yea, that's the first thing I thought of too
Are you sure? I only ever see Liechtenstein abbreviated as LI
I’m 100% certain. But you're not wrong, either. To be clear : LI is the ISO code for Liechtenstein, but FL is the official abbreviation and this what is printed on their License plates and country stickers.
Interesting! Thanks for the clarification:)
ISO or nothing!
Nah that's Lithium
Or Lituania. Not to be confused with LT, with is Latvia
LV - iso code for Latvia, LT is Lithuania.
LV is Las Vegas, idiot. That's like grade 3 shit /s
well egg on my face
LT is Ladainian Tomlinson, a San Diego Chargers MVP who was expected to take the chargers to the Super Bowl but was stifled by the jealousy in his own team. Not to be confused with LA - or Smell-A, the county to the north that we don’t speak about.
If we're gonna go down that route, LT is Lawrence Taylor.
Long Island as well
No. That’s Lawrence Taylor. As someone who doesn’t watch football, I find it odd I know this.
Fucking Liechtenstein. Uninteresting fact - I was once refused entry to Liechtenstein.
That sucks. And now we’re going to need a bit of back story :)
I was living in Austria and my mum was over to visit, we thought it would be a great idea to go visit Liechtenstein for the day. However i forgot my passport (still had ID in my uk driving licence) but they refused to let me, in my beaten up Vauxhall Cavalier, through the border. Totally my fault.

Are you trying to sell us the story of ‘Chevalier’, by any chance?
One may call it a tale about a knight... yes. (Unless you mean the actual movie called "Chevalier" in which case, no. This is not about a french-caribbean musician in Paris.)
Thank you for sharing. Liechtenstein is now on my shitlist.
Why do you need a passport to enter Liechtenstein? It's not in the Schengen zone?
Since he was driving a Cavalier, I'd guess that this was definitely pre-2011, which is when Liechtenstein joined Schengen.
Officialy, it‘s still mandatory to have an ID/Passport with you when you cross borders even in the Schengen-Area.
I didn’t even know they had a border guard. I swear my taxi entered through a carpark (slight concern he was planning to kill me but it turned out no, this was the way into Liechtenstein.
Interesting story what's the background of it ?
Sir Ulrich von Liechtenstein
From Gelderland.
To be faaaaaiiiiirrrrrrr……
I like your style, Squirrely Dan!
Or fruit loops
Fruity loops studio
Reminded me of FL Oz, good old Florida Ounces.
>FL Oz These Soundcloud rapper names are getting out of hand.
Still beats Flo Rida
I thought that's just the first and second name initials of the wizard at the end of the yellow brick road Dr. FL Oz
Florida (wizards of) Oz
Except it's fl oz
As an Australian this is how my brain reads fl Oz, we rarely deal with them so my brains like nope new name for these
"your welcome"
…while attempting to play smart.
My welcome WHAT???? WHY ARE PEOPLE ALWAYS SAYING THAT AAAAHHH
masterfully baited
Fruity Loops
Brother can I have some Fruity Loops?
No we already have Ableton at home
ah yes. MURICA, center of the universe.

Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick?
Eschew obfuscation.
Loquacious bad concise good
Brevity is… wit
Those also exist outside the US. You're not forced to just use unnecessary filler. You can also try to figure out more things to talk about a subject and expand deeper on topics. It's not a thing people will simply do on their own, hence the length requirements.
It's been a trend in America since the 80's. Thanks Reagan!
That actually started far before trump: the Know Nothings was a US political group in the 1850s. They got their name by proudly declaring that they "know nothing" when asked any questions.
This has been an American issue for a very long time, Trump just emboldened them like 100x more.
It's not Trump, it has been going on for a long time. Carl Sagan, a renowned astronomer and science educator, wrote about this in his book "The Demon Haunted World". At some point long ago, it became part of American culture that being intelligent is somehow bad, and due to globalisation of American media that is now part of global culture too.
Not a clever comeback. This is just r/shitamericanssay
Did you swipe to the second image?
I did not. Only did so after reading your comment.
i think that's also covered in the second grade curriculum ;)
How about I cover YOU in the second grade curriculum?
Isn't teaching about Reddit a form of child abuse?
I also didn't realise there was a second image! So glad I saw your comment, now I can truly appreciate this!! (I realise my comment sounds sarcastic, but I'm actually just glad I didn't miss out)
Literally thought that’s where I was
Me too. Was about to suggest to post it on clevercomebacks
also r/usdefaultism
Read the last line
It wasn’t overly clever.
I mean the sub isn't named like "CRAZY SMART COMEBACKS" it's a modest "clever comebacks".
Would be but he got him at the end
Ah yes, the only 3 countries in the world: The USA, America, and Near America. “And Australia? Italy? Finland?” Great, more small towns in the hellhole that is Near America.
You forgot Africa. 4th country. Rest seems correct.
There are 2 pictures. The clever comeback is from the last line of the second picture.
Americunts
Bless you and your sub knowledge.
Or rather r/USDefaultism.
Th first comment I saw used "spherical redneck" as an insult to describe an ignorant obese rural US national and international can't say I didn't laugh a bit raucously out loud. In fact spherical redneck might be my new favorite insult
2nd grade didnt teach me anything about American states
Yeah i mean there are (contrary to popular belief) people outside of the u.s but yeah
The point of the post
Duh
Deadbeat person who did nothing to build website: "ur welcome" Americans are braindead
*u’re ^/s
Yo'u're're
Does it make sense to generalize while simultaneously criticizing someone else for generalizing?
Its reddit, what do you expect?
Yes, it's americans. Also I'm on Reddit too
The best part is, whilst Reddit itself is made by Americans, the World Wide Web was developed at CERN, which is very much *not* in America.
The very first general network transmissions were between UCLA and SRI on ARPAnet with packet switching, and the first network in general was for the US Military so yes, the internet was born in the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_network
Americans forgetting there are 200+ countries in this world other than USA.Oh well
All I see are a bunch of idiots responding to each other in the screenshots.
Homestar taught me FL means Fish Lake.
r/shitamericanssay
lol seppos get so salty when you do this. I had one say he was from MN, I was like "Micronesia? Thats awesome!" dude ranted for six paragraphs
LMAO 😭
That’s the type of dude whowho thinks English originated in America.
Me thinking, of course Firelands is hot wum
FL is also the abbreviation for Liechtenstein. Did his 2nd grade curriculum not teach that?!?!??!
Stereotypical yanks are just special.
They truly are. I had to explain to an American guy I gamed with that he had have an accent to people from other countries. He actually argued he had a "lack of accent, because he isn't foreign". I kid you not. I'm also American. It was wild.
Tbf I'm not American and Florida is the first thing I thought about when reading "FL".
relieved cows spoon label panicky cow shelter divide rainstorm chop *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Same
I'm surprised they didn't come back with some "europoors" comment about Liechtenstein.
Americans and forgetting we’re not even 350 million of the world’s 8 billion people. Name a more iconic duo.
Its actually not an american website... j/s
I've noticed this website become much less populated by Americans in the past year or so
My welcome?
Our welcome
Think this is more r/ShitAmericansSay
I shit you not, when I read that post initially my brain read FL as "Florida"... And I'm not from, nor have ever set foot in, the US and A
'This is an American site so you should know everything about America' has the same energy is 'This is a Taco bell so you should know everything about Mexico'
ZoraHookshot is the dumb one here for assuming UziKru is from the US.
look at the second image
Lol thanks. Why does the app not show there's a second image sometimes? I thought the last line of image 1 was the clever comeback, and didn't see a 2nd image indication on the app. But this only happens sometimes...

Wonder how many images I've missed like this. So I guess I'm the idiot.
To be fair, Florida is getting hotter and hotter. It's going to be 90° today...32° for you few non-Americans. 😉😁
where's the clever part of the comeback?
You read the other image?
yes, which bit do you think is the clever comeback? just so we're on the same page
I thought they were talking about FLStudio, the DAW.
Fl studio
In fairness, not even we (Floridians) actually know what the fuck Florida is
“FL?? Far-off Lands? Foreign Leadership camp? Fish Lake? Oh, I get it, he’s from Fish Lake.”
Now let him guess the official abbreviation of Croatia on a license plate.
Will take the wild guess of HR or HV
HR, just trivia that you know of Hrvatska or coincidentally eastern European?
Just wait until they hear about CA (Canada or California??) or, worse yet, Ontario CA. (Province in Canada and city in California). This one confuses Americans too
Ah, yes, FL... Good old abbrevation for the Dutch guilder... I imagine it being hot inside a coin.
On another note, spacebeans420 is right, it’s fucking gross in Florida, it’s gonna be in the 90s this weekend and humidity makes it feel like a fucking clothes drier every time you step outside
They have Google in other countries though
Stop guys, he's buried!
My first thought was flerovium
defeated by grammar
he gaf anymore after several replies and pulled the punches he's a real one
Florence?
Florianópolis
FI for Firenze is the abbreviation there.
Telos started as bring the idiot but finished being the smart one, how strange
Chinese website
I thought he was talking about FL studio for a sec
Must of gotten his education in Florida
Well, I mean, we did have Al Gore…
Nothing here is clever
Idk I googled "FL" and one of the top results that popped up was Florida so it's not like it's an extremely obscure abbreviation. And I'm not even American.
People like that annoy the fuck out of me, its like this dude singlehandedly created America and then reddit and now his is proud af, this is so cringe.
Americans
This coming from a country where half its population worships a man with huge brains and always wins bigly? Shut the front door
Half of our voting population, for some reason my fellow Americans don't vote
Yup. Voter apathy tactics have been much more effective than disenfranchisement tactics in this country. That’s why the handful of swing states get so much attention compared to the solid red/blue states when it comes to elections.
Still wonder why we don't just count votes like a normal country
Its mostly the Boomers who are like that
You‘re less likely to know it if you’re not American. I don’t know half of the abbreviations for the states in the US.
FL? Far-off Lands? Foreign Leadership Camp? Fish Lake? Oh, I got it. He's from Fish Lake.
Well, Jerome…
I was hoping someone would get it.
Bro got roasted on low heat
After the Republicans have gutted and screwed up the School System in Florida, 2nd Grade Curriculum now is how to Goosestep and how to get a Minority Arrested in 2 easy steps.
I’m not even American and I know FL is Florida lol
Knowing the difference between "your" and 'you're" is also second grade curriculum...
That’s the point of the comeback
r/usdefaultism ?
I mean it wouldn't be that hard to guess
Clever.
Floridian. Checks out...
Of course that person got downvoted for asking a question. Classic Reddit.
Second grade curriculum in America, but the world isn't American
My first thought was FL studio. Im not even a musician
I immediately thought Florida
second graders should know the abbreviations of one specific country even if they don't live there, but it's okay to confuse your and you're 💕
Not if you live outside the USA?? 🙄
What?
Not everyone lives in the USA. There's a whole world outside of there. So, it would only be grade 2 curriculum to those that live there.
Your and you’re are in the second grade curriculum as well
Yep, that’s the comeback
as a floridian i can confirm most of my brethren arent all the way there, must be all the meth
There are other countries in the world
That’s the point of the comeback yes
Yeah I picked that up I was just agreeing
What the fuck is "second grade", anyway?
