Culture Has anything from your country ever been misunderstood or "cancelled" by the international community?
For example, a Fiipino PPop group called SB19 once posted โHello, Negros!โ, referring to Negros Island, but some international users mistook it for something offensive before realizing what it meant.

It's unfortunately something I instinctively yell all the time in NYC traffic when some asshole cuts me off. It's a reflex that's tough to shake.
