I see this written occasionally here on esreality, but as an 18 year old who is still young to this community, I've yet to understand what it means, or where it's from.
They're talking about potatoes. Has something to do with stream chat coming up with some Moldovan quake thing (possibly from a faceit tangent.) Apparently Moldovan's are farmers. Potato farmers. With broken English.
[i belive it orginated from retarded chat conversations, where some individuals were talking broken english on purpose, just for the sheer lulz. somehow ddk stole the idea and implemented in in faceit. im not reliable source tho, i didnt have twitch acc back then]
Potat sounds for liberty, freedom, hope love and good friendship. The old lady greeting you in the house yard on monday morning is potat, as well as the car drivers stopping to let you cross the road. Potat is people that let you go first at the supermarket checkout, friendly bus drivers that wait when they see you running for the bus and subways that don't smell like someone pissed all over them. Potat is like infinite love.
just some other shit trolls with 900 elo made up in quake chats so they can have something to nolife (verb, yes) with while they spec watch streams and post shit on forums like this one. after all, what would you have them do, actually play quake and be/get decent at it? get real man
i did weightlifting when i was 13-14 for about 2.5 years. to get in shape at an age when the body gets defined i think. nothing professional ofc. it helped me quite a bit
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces.
You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words.
You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life.
You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit.
If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot.
I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
Dunno when it started and with what occasion but it is the combination between the inaccurate concept that Moldavians are from Kazakhstan and the fact that both nations seem to cultivate potatoes (which is where similarities end). The movie Borat could very well have also contributed to the current. As it is it is an illiterate and quite hypocrite view, sometimes manifested on purpose by those who know better while the rest swallows it as one possible truth. Google Kazakhstan and Moldavia and you'll get it.
The term might turn after into a much wider representation, speaking about the people referring in general to al the people from Eastern Europe, Balkans to Caucasus.
There was a question. I answered. This is a quite good explanation compared to most 99% esr rubbish.
I did not stay to analyze in such detail but now that you asked you should know that you don't have to be Moldavian or from Southern Russia to think that considering Moldavians and people from Kazakhstan the same is insulting to both. The distance between the two countries is up to 1,000 km almost as it is the distance from Berlin to Moscow. Moldavians are Romanians while Kazakhstanis are a mix between Russians and other nations but surely not many are Moldavians. Moldavian is orthodox Christianity with 93.3% while Kazakhstan is predominantly a Muslim country, with 70% Muslims and only 26% Christians -quite interesting that although Wikipedia is babbling a lot about the multi religious Kazakhstan it does not say a word on Moldova's religion -do not fit the leftist multiculti agenda in the West?
I know that the jokes are not intended to offend, but they do regardless the intention. And mostly as I said before, putting a large group of people in the same category because for illiterate people it is quite hard to discover what lies beyond the boundaries of Europe is not quite recommended, because while people like you are having fun with it, this is how it will be remembered by people from the Western hemisphere who most of them do not know the difference. Funny or not this current is clearly anti-educative.
It means "Potato" in both Mexican, and Romanian. (Romanians look similar to Mexicans, but Romanians roll their "R"'s better).
Mexicans make better breakfast tacos.
Supposedly, the ESR Potat's flag is Moldovan. I've never heard of Moldova. I suspect this is due to the fact that I learn cultural history from soccer. I can't recall a time where I saw a Moldovan flag win anything in soccer. Therefore, it must be a fake flag, for a fake country, with fake words.
