Name A Country That Starts With "U"

[Pekka]

Imrna, what's that, imperialist bastard? It's pronounced Uganda. OOOOH, that's right, your inferior language isn't quite phonetical, is it? HA-ha!

Another one for "Uganda" coming to mind first. And yes, it probably has to do with it being pronounced You-ghan-da.

Guess that's where "Yugoslavia" is coming from, too.

Not everybody pronounces it that way.

Plus: you-nited states, no?

The last part really disturbed me.

But we're Americans, not United Statesians (despite what my AP World History teacher used to tell her students).

Also, I wonder how Ugandans pronounce the name of their country, or if Uganda is even what they refer to their country as.

I thought of Uruguay immediately, Uganda and Uzbekistan a few minutes later. But the United States didn't even enter my mind until the guy in the clip mentioned it.

Take a camera to any city in the world, ask the same questions, do the same selective editing so that only the "funny ones" are seen, and you end up with the same video.

Oerdin, possibly, except the people who are stupid are most likely a lot skinnier and of normal health.

Uzbekistan was my first guess. I didn't get to the United States or Kingdom either (though I did guess the Arab Emirates).

The consistent stupidity of the thread starters' threads should be grounds for a permaban...

Lori, why? Uruguay was in the first that came to my mind

Me too, thats the first that came to my mind.

Suprised no-one said Utah....

Spec.

Ukraine would be my first guess, but the second ones would actually be... Jordan and Oman
In Arabic it's Al-Urdunn and 'Uman. 'ayn isn't recognised by my brain as a letter, though it is so in arabic, and al- is just like "the", so they pop into my mind.
Then, Uruguay, Uzbekistan, Uganda, and (long dead, but who cares) Urartu, Ur, Ugarit etc

UK and USA... I kind of think of them as "Britain" and "America"... I woudn't say Poland starts with R, though it's official name is Rzeczpospolita Polska


This video is scary

[Lorizael]

I'm surprised you managed to spell Utah correctly...
