because they are more famous for dykes.
on the same subject, why aren't portugese called ports, and canadians not called cans? the poor swedish named after a vegetable! and thankfully the germans are not called germs. Who decides these abbreviations anyway?

Poles is a short form for polish, whereas calling Holland ''Holes'' would sound a little odd and rude!

That is there decision to be called Poles which sounds better than Holes.

The loophole here is, Holland is also referred to as the Netherlands.

Good question
Finland people are called Fins.
Holland should be called Holls.
Makes sense.
