"In Iran it is common to say no out of politeness when offered something. Only if the other person asks again will you say yes. Actually, you might even say no multiple times.
Cab drivers will do this too for instance. You ask how much you owe them and they’ll say something along the lines of “oh don’t worry it’s worth nothing” to which you then reply by insisting on paying. Only then will they tell you the price and bla bla bla."

#8 We called flip-flop 'thongs' in the US Mid-West back in the 60's and 70's, until the underwear/bikini bottoms that were a similar style got popular, then the prudes started refering to them as flip-flops.

In America, we generally don't give a shit about other countries. (unless they have oil we want)

#7 White gravey is a staple of biscuit and gravy breakfast, as well as a dozen other US dishes... so... I have no idea what they mean.

#2 Yeah, well Denmark must not have drunks, thieves, or kidnappers, and must expect everyone will take care of their baby when they start crying and screaming while they cozily have lunch in a cafe.
