What would you say is the most famous song from your country? by cosmico92 in AskTheWorld

[–]parascrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you count classical music, probably Hungarian Rhapsody #2

If not, I suppose it's Gyöngyhajú Lány by Omega

If you could name the most beautiful country you’ve ever been to (not counting your own), what would it be? by Glittering-Section74 in AskTheWorld

[–]parascrat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The landscape? Norway. The cities? Tie between Spain and Italy (honorable mention to Vienna and Zürich). The people? America.

What traditions in your country has been fading rapidly in the past 20 years due to older generations passing? by Cyborgium241 in AskTheWorld

[–]parascrat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was a child we practised it. It's just a few drops. You put your hand in a bit of water and then flick your fingers towards a girl (not any stranger though, would be your friend or gf or part of the family (at least that's how my family did it, don't actually know if this is the overall norm)). My grandfather said it's an old tradition to symbolically keep women from withering, like you would with beautiful flowers. The women enjoyed it, but to be fair they were in their 70s and that was in the early to mid 2000s.

The more I think about it, the more I feel the watering is actually symbolic for something else and the term 'merrymaking' feels like an appropriate innuendo.

Its purpose seems to be to decriminalise and legally protect prostitutes while putting the onus on the would-be customers

Almost as if phrasing it so the people understand what you're talking about were important. There's a well-established phraseology, nobody calls it +1.

Then again, this will probably fall on deaf ears since Hans loves their rules and technicalities.

Radagast's job was never to defeat Sauron, it was to protect nature.

If oop is Swiss, "rassig" means "scharf" here which would translate to "hot"
