Welcome Jorge! ˇBienvenido a Easter Road!

1. Honduras gained independence from Spain in 1821.
2. Honduras is home of the manatee, one of the worlds most endangered seagoing mammals.
3. To greet a Honduran in a streetwise way in the manner of a dude about town you should say "Que ondas!" (whats up!). A common response would be ˇTodo Cheque! (i'm cool, man)
4. Tegucicalpa is the capital city, and is amongst the most difficult to pronounce of all planet Earths capitals.
5. Christmas Eve is a bigger deal than Christmas day.
6. "Desempenar el quijotesco papel de Matty Jack"- 'Playing the legendary Matty Jack Role' in Spanish.
7. Hondurans are called 'catracho' by other Spanish speakers. This is considered complimentary, not derogatory.
8.Wilson Palacios of Stoke City is the countrys most famous footballing expatriate. Until now.
9. Jorge hates the huns with a passion.

Why are you telling Jorge all this? He probably knows already. :greengrin

A more useful guide for him would have been a list of Edinburgh bouncers that turn a blind eye to riotous behaviour by football players. :wink:


The blue in the flag stands for the skies and the white for the desire for peace. The five stars represent the five members of what was once the United Provinces of Central America: Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Costa Rica. How educational!

The brightly coloured coral snake is extremely venomous and is native to Honduras' tropical lowlands.

Hondurans tend to dislike the colour maroon, which they describe as 'like a bloodied turd'.
and 'not a real colour anyway'.

Bit I read said the blue stands for the pacific and Atlantic with the white representing Honduras. Same with the stars though.
