If "Brexit" happened in other countries, what would they call it? :))

A humorous map of Europe showing potential punny names for different EU countries leaving the union, inspired by 'Brexit'. Examples include 'Swexit' and 'Finish' for Nordic countries, 'Deutschleave' for Germany, 'Quitaly' for Italy, 'Fruckoff' and 'Oui out' for France, and 'Nullgaria' for Bulgaria. The map shows EU member states in yellow with their suggested exit names, while non-EU countries are shown in grey. Created by bezzleford.

@infobeautiful Almost all those names are _English_ puns. I would have thought that if a non-anglophone country wants a catchy name for leaving the EU then they will pick something that sounds good in _their_ language.

@infobeautiful I never heard of the German ones, I only know of DEXIT and "End of the EU. FULL STOP."

@infobeautiful No, the correct word is "Mistake"

Will somebody PLEASE learn from another country's stupid mistakes, is the planet as stupid as we British are? (Maybe)

#Brexit

@infobeautiful Eirxit works well, needs to drop the middle 'e', BUT it'll never happen so let's not help their marketing!

@infobeautiful In Austria, the term #Öxit was quite established in media.

#Austria (English) = #Österreich (German) 👉 Österreich Exit 👉 Öxit
