Hi everybody, my girlfriend showed me a Tiktok about manga authors adding unnecessary incest plotlines to their works and I thought immediately “They are from Monterrey” (we are from Mexico).
I remembered that the States have a similar joke about Alabama and I started wondering if other countries also have a state or city associated with people who are, for some unknown reason, attrated to their cousins.
Here in Mexico there even is a kind of saying for these people «A la prima se le arrima».
In Ireland, pretty much anyone who lives outside a major urban centre. We call them “culchies”.
Same in the UK, lived in the Midlands and the people in the next village over we’re “fennies” (because they lived in the fens). Cue jokes about webbed feet and incest
Girl, no. Our Alabama is most definitely Roscommon.
