I don't get it. It's this a "gay joke"?
It’s a sexual preference joke.
Are you saying a lot of people in Sweden are gay? Is that the joke here?
No, as I said, it’s a play on words and a reference to how you like to have sex.
The terms top, bottom, and switch are used to describe an individual's role during a BDSM activity. They may more broadly denote a psychological, social, or sexual identity, or indicate one's usual preference.[1] Terms topand bottom refer to giving and receiving roles, not to who is physically on top in a particular sexual act.[1][2][3] A switch is someone who can act as both a top and bottom.
I understand that part of the joke. It's also common in the male homosexual community to talk about top or bottom. But what about the "the Swedes..." part of the joke? Please explain that to me as thoroughly as you've done with the obvious part, please and thank you. Because it sounds to me like you're saying it's typical of Swedes to be bottoms, or gay bottoms, as if that's true and/or a problem. I hope you'll prove me wrong without any backpedaling. 👍
I have no idea if swedes tend to be bottoms more often than other nationalities, neither do I care to be honest.
The words „Sweden“ „top“ & „bottom“ triggered a brainfart, which I formed into this joke. If the line had been „drive through Sweden from bottom to top, I’d have probably made the same joke the other way around.
Why is this so important to you? Do you think I‘m dissing Sweden? Do you suspect that there’s a layer to the joke you didn’t get? Is the joke simply not funny to you an you try to find out if you missed something?
Indeed, when you said — literally — "the Swedes", I interpreted that as you dissing "the Swedes," definitely, yes. I think that's a fair interpretation to have made, in all honestly.
I was wondering, because it felt pretty weird to do out of nowhere.
Anyway, all good. 👍
It is a fair interpretation, just not one that I thought of.
Thanks for clarifying.
All good indeed.
