  • Hi Guest - Did you know?
    Hot Topics is a Safe for Work (SFW) forum.

And I thought it was just us Brits had ridiculous traditions

Nope, there are ridiculous traditions all over the world.

I can't think of one country that doesn't have ridiculous traditions.

And that is the point of them.

They are mostly supposed to celebrate the absurd.

The devil ones are those designed to subjugate and hurt people or animals.

And as ridiculous as they are...they also abound around the world.
 
Do people know specific national or ethnic traditions that would be good to share in the thread.

There must be thousands of them.

Not shaming their religion, but whirling dervishes come to mind. Although it's a beautiful visual, still funny to see men swirling their skirts out.
 
Actually the dervishes are amazing to see when you are in Istanbul...it is not really a tradition but a religious ritual dance.

It is every bit as much an evolved tradition just as Catholic clergy wearing vestments, or Jewish weddings being performed under a covering, or any groom carrying his bride across a threshhold.

Rituals, by definition, are traditions.

Your divorce of the two seems like some personalized definition of each rather than the dictionary's.
 
The broad practice of making a wedding an ostentatious display, a sort of jockeying for social pecking order.

In both the West and the East, great sums of money are spent, not merely to celebrate, but to present the families as wealthier than they are. The spending of exhorbitant amounts on dresses, the renting of limousines to imitate aristocracy or plutocrats, the purchase of oversized diamonds, the going on honeymoons of great expense -- all creep in as gifts or celebratory events, but the truth is, they are displays of conspicous consumption, every bit as preening as country club memberships, private academies, or oversized homes.
