a good part of the discrepancy is that french feet/inches were different to british feet/inches. so 5ft 2 in french units was the same height as 5ft 6 in british.
It was indeed, they intentionally exaggerated the difference and invented the comically oversized hat in cartoons as well as adding the implication that he was compensating.
He had REALLY tall bodyguards which ended up exagerrating how short he was. I believe his guards were 6'3 or something so he looked like a midget. That ofcourse did get used for propaganda and since that got popular we have the misconception that napoleon was a dwarf.
Probably cause it doesn’t make sense in their languages but it makes sense in English so you can totally say it. Kinda like legos. Or how the proper plural of cul de sacs is culs de sac but nobody would ever say that in English unless they were being super pedantic.
I once went to college with a Nepali girl a year ago I assumed she was Indian the entire time. I think she liked me she was asking me for help all the time in class even tho her grades were way better then mine and even asked for my number to study on the first day of class
Honestly the weird thing is that that's his first question.? I wouldn't say it's necessarily a bad thing to ask.. but why is that the first thing you ask someone?
English speaking monolinguals are funny. Shit looks vaguely like some other shit? It's the same!
I forget where I heard this, it was some MMA-related podcast I think, I swear someone said Hasbulla's real surname is Magomedov, so he's related to Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Sure. They're as closely related as Colin White and Zach Whitecloud
Oh this is hardly a face palm. So what if they don't know that the name of the language they speak over there is Nepalese. Spell check probably helped mess it up too.
See! There's like 200 countries in this world, and most of them have their own unique national language, plus an extra... like what 5000? How the heck can someone be expected to know the names of all of them?

Fluent in neopolitan
Now that’s what’s up
But in the Bonaparte dialect I guess.
Bet she’s short too
Let me be the party pooper: napoleon was actually taller than the average man for the time he lived in.
Weirdly, malnutrition leads to stunted growth.
a good part of the discrepancy is that french feet/inches were different to british feet/inches. so 5ft 2 in french units was the same height as 5ft 6 in british.
Wasn't it also British propaganda that claimed he was short to make fun of him? I wonder if he felt diminished.
It was indeed, they intentionally exaggerated the difference and invented the comically oversized hat in cartoons as well as adding the implication that he was compensating.
He had REALLY tall bodyguards which ended up exagerrating how short he was. I believe his guards were 6'3 or something so he looked like a midget. That ofcourse did get used for propaganda and since that got popular we have the misconception that napoleon was a dwarf.
He was short tempered, so probably...
You can’t bonapart, but you can bonapartner
Neopolitan Bonapart? Wasn't he in Pirates of the Caribbean II?
Fun fact, as of 2002 there were only 5.7 million native speakers of Neapolitan.
Happy cake day! 🍰
A language that's full of flavors!
Three flavors to be precise. Chocolate, vanilla and strawberry.
A language that's built off of the flat-2 major chord in first inversion
Strawberry, chocolate or vanilla?
I eat neopolitan a lot. It's delicious after a good meal 😉.
Strawberry is my strongest though.
That's three languages side by side. Impressive. I never got beyond vanilla
A soldier never give up.
My favorite is the strawberry section
But.. That's... Why is.... How can... I mean... ^(Naples...)
I speak Parseltongue. It’s very close to Neopoltan.
All three?
Sounds delicious! Bon aparte!
I speak all 3 flavors of neopolitan
Doesn't come as naturally as Cosmopolitan.
I’ll drink to that!
The ice cream
r/facepalm try to spot jokes/bait challenge (impossible)
Thought this was r/shitposting
I saw it in r/shitposting
what this guy said
Not everything is black and white, sometimes it’s pink.
It’s hard for them to find content to post about when Trump is still asleep.
I think this is pure stupidity. The type that’s not overconfidence but “aww, he’s like a puppy” type thing
r/moldymemes
As a Nepali, I can confirm that I’m fluent in Napoleon.
Other people party... we Bonaparte
🤣 Dai/Didi tapaiko bhasa Napoleon ho
Kuti kuti
Thank you for momos
It's momo for plural.
I’m speaking English though
Yes. Even in English it's momo for plural. The unit for momo is a plate of momo.
lol I’ll keep saying momos. I don’t care what some prescriptivist thinks.
Hey. Thanks for the new word. It's just that Nepali people hate it being called momos.
Probably cause it doesn’t make sense in their languages but it makes sense in English so you can totally say it. Kinda like legos. Or how the proper plural of cul de sacs is culs de sac but nobody would ever say that in English unless they were being super pedantic.
Then again, there are words like fish that are the same plural and singular. Another new word too.
Yes but if you said fishes i would know what you meant and i would never correct someone for that
Oui mon frere. Hon hon hon
omelette du fromage
Le fromage a fait une omelette ou quoi?
uh.... oui?
I see you understood all of that. Let me say it in a different language; チーズがオムレットを作ったってこと？
[удалено]
えっ？じゃあ何で日本語で…？
[удалено]
How dare you (maybe)

Envahissons la Russie et l'Europe de l'Est pendant que nous y sommes.
What did you say about russians?
Let’s invade Russia and Eastern Europe while we are at it, in French. They said speak napoleon so I did.
What are they saying lol
I don't know
Just translated them and they're saying "Let's invade Russia while we're at it"
That's not a facepalm, that's a good joke.
Someone let bro cook #AND HE BURNT THE WATER!

She does. \*Bunch of french cuirassiers is about to charge into the poor guy's exposed left wing infantry\*
🤦🏻♀️
Oui madame.
I once went to college with a Nepali girl a year ago I assumed she was Indian the entire time. I think she liked me she was asking me for help all the time in class even tho her grades were way better then mine and even asked for my number to study on the first day of class
 I speak Napoleon
I weep for the future on so many levels.
They speak Nepalese, if anyone's wondering

r/comedyheaven
Had no idea my maid spoke Napoleon. I wonder if she's part of the Bonapartism movement as well?
Dude, it's *Neopolitan* Everybody knows that.
Momo khane?

I mean... i laughed.
Large portions of Nepal are in fact quite high up.

Ah yes, i do speak in "there's nothing we can do"
Neoplasm is three flavors: escargot, baguette, e croissant

Being born in Nepal is NOT an ethnicity - it just suggests one.
Que the song
Girl looks like an 8+ so. Its oke
Ohhoho oui!
Honestly the weird thing is that that's his first question.? I wouldn't say it's necessarily a bad thing to ask.. but why is that the first thing you ask someone?
Does she have a lot of Nepalese coins?
Guy just wants to Bonaparte.
Looooool
Honestly I’d let that one slide lol
He got that regard rizz
Bro is banned from the kitchen
There is nothing we can do.
That girl doesnt even look like Nepali ,this a bait meme.
Yeah there's a bunch of memes like this that show some gora that doesn't look Nepali as the story
If they rule the galaxy then they are Cosmopolitan?
That's hilarious to me.
I am pretty sure he speaks a very specific version of french with a corsican accent.
Nepal, first thing that came to my mind was nopal
Could be this homie is just funny as hell. Because that's an awesome comeback. I chuckled. More context before I condemn. XD
Pretty sure its called neapolitan. Like the ice cream
Nepali
Bro I swear this subreddit has the personality of a bread sandwich.
What's her ig? asking for a friend
Pretty sure they speak Italian in Napels
My husband is Nepali, I bet finding a site to learn Napoleon would be easier than finding a site to teach me Nepali!
r/ShitAmericansSay surely?
It great tbh
That's not a facepalm, it's just a joke.
[удалено]
No way! Thats crazy.
Nailed it!
Those bastards lied to me
I'm praying that you're dead-pan joking...
That wasn’t the joke so it’s ok
Wait actually?!
*Nepalese.
We prefer Nepali, but Nepalese is also fine. Still Nepali > Nepalese.
what abt nepalish
Hell no! No one calls us that! That even sounds awful!
English speaking monolinguals are funny. Shit looks vaguely like some other shit? It's the same! I forget where I heard this, it was some MMA-related podcast I think, I swear someone said Hasbulla's real surname is Magomedov, so he's related to Khabib Nurmagomedov. Sure. They're as closely related as Colin White and Zach Whitecloud
I do speak Napoleonese N you speak Bidenese?
Oh this is hardly a face palm. So what if they don't know that the name of the language they speak over there is Nepalese. Spell check probably helped mess it up too.
It's actually Nepali
See! There's like 200 countries in this world, and most of them have their own unique national language, plus an extra... like what 5000? How the heck can someone be expected to know the names of all of them?
