The whole reason why Belgium exists is because Flemish coons thought...

Amsterdam
London
Berlin
Naples
Which one is the worst? LOL, I'd say the Italian one.
@Xoxoxo
I am going to give my kids newly invented Somali names using root words from Somali.
Like African Americans using weird mixtures of French, Irish, and Arabic words, (Laquisha, DeShawn etc kkkkk).
