In Spain, there is even a proverb that goes like 'being cold like a Swede'.
TIL! As a (straight, late middle-age, male) Swedish person this is kind of hilarious! :)
Couldn't find a reference after some mild searching, but I did find another TIL [1]: "no te hagas el sueco" (don’t act like you're a Swede), which means "don't act like you don't understand". Interesting!
