It's always cold, we always either say we are from Detroit even if we aren't (because pretty much everyone knows where Detroit is or has heard of it) or say how many minutes away from Detroit we live, and we can point to a spot on our hand to show where we live

Everytime our country is mentioned in international news, everyone flips out of their mind. (Philippines bro.)

- I do not have a pet kangaroo / I don't ride my kangaroo to work
- We never say "throw a shrimp on the barbie". pls we call them prawns and tbh they're better boiled than barbequed
- We can't all surf
- When I've gone overseas before people have asked "if you're from Australia, why aren't you white?" Mean Girls moment lol but yeah we're not all white
- We don't all live in the bush

However we do drink a lot, swear a lot, and have a slang word for everything

Igloos, Eskimos, snow, maple syrup, poutine, milk in a bag, we're all polite, the list goes on... they have VERY varying degrees of truth.

Sterotypes about Washington State include not using umbrellas when it rains, everyone drives a Subuaru, drinking lots and lots of coffee, cheering loudly for the Seahawks
