>Can you explain these ones?
not sure where it originates from...
You'd use it for example, when you see a shitty, fucked up chair, that's leaning on one side:

"he's driving czechlike"

>>53976408
>>53976775
This expression comes from the time around the fall of the Berlin Wall when (or perhaps even earlier) when Slovenes started encountering Czechs on Croat beaches and seaside tourist camps. The Czechs, fresh from behind the Iron Curtain, all stereotypically sported fashions that disgusted the westernized Slovenes - bowl cuts, white socks over sandals, grey T-shirts stretched over beer bellies. They were also known for uncritically and unabashedly engaging in consumerism, such as bringing a sixpack of Coca Colas to the beach in the daytime heat instead of water - but who other than a Czech (unused as they were to the Med climate) would go to the beach at midday anyway? And thus the historically positive image of Czechs, who had previously settled in Ljubljana and Maribor in small numbers as industrialists and artists, was tarnished for a time. But with Czechia's recovery from its communist isolation has seen the Czechs once again regarded with curiosity rather than mockery.
>>53977286
We still mock them in croatia for their ever present and consistent preventable death tolls every summmer.

>>53977548
They have a high death rate in our mountains, too. It has a lot to do with the fact they climb mountains in sandals or flip-flops, wearing clothes better suited for the beach and not bringing any supplies with them.
