🌍

문화적 배경

In Lithuania, complaining about things 'driving you crazy' is a common social bonding ritual. It's often used to vent about the long, dark winters. The phrase is a staple in Lithuanian pop and rock lyrics, often used to describe obsessive love or the pressures of fame. While informal, colleagues often use this phrase to bond over difficult clients or bureaucratic hurdles. In cities, it's used for traffic and noise. In rural areas, it might still be used literally for herding, leading to funny puns.
