Maybe it's the English toffee. Maybe it's the single-malt Scotch. Maybe it's being ravaged by a Welsh rabbit. There's always a reason.

"Oh, it's just a harmless little bunny...."

Oh, Tim the Enchanter! One of John Cleese's best roles. Ever. Epic. Fucking. Role.

"So, brave knights, if you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all, with nasty, big, pointy teeth!"

Was it a Welsh rabbit who ravaged Jimmy Carter?

It was a (Lawrence) Walsh rabbit that ravaged Ronald Reagan and Oliver North. Meanwhile, I'll claim a Welsh residence in Llareggub, just around the corner. Bunnies beware.

 

[Matthew Craig]

Oh i see, because this is an (((American))) only forum.

You gave the Brits the boot to be ruled by Israel!

Statistically you have a 50/50 chance when talking to an (((American))) you're talking to a latino or black.

Check your privilage shitlord!

 

[suckonsimon]

It must be your admiration for all things British getting embedded in your head. An entirely understandable scenario.

Please tell me that no bunny was killed during the events being mentioned.

That could be. I love their whole "stiff upper lip" attitude about some things. Unfazed by the kind of bullshit that makes some people elsewhere cry. Not that crying is wrong. Just saying that British coolness under certain conditions is impressive as fuck.

Plus, who can resist fish and chips with a damn good ale?

 

[adrina]

There is some fun slang, nice phraseology.

Like going on holiday instead of taking a vacation. Much nicer sounding.

I also like "gets my back up". I find that very descriptive.

Fanny cracks me up. And that pants is not only underwear but also an adjective.

Lmao. Yeah, it's a fun dialect.

However the bloody this and bloody that seems over done. I wonder if it really is that common or if it is just the media painting them as bloodying up the place all the time.

from what i've seen over here, portayals of english english in the media is pretty much 30 years behind how it sounds today and the bloody part well over done. maybe even 50 years behind the times.

you might get the odd 'bloody hell', but more often it's a straight up 'fer fuck's sake' with 'fucking hell' being a variation on a theme

 

[water505]

Ahhh to be a Brit...warm beer, lousy food, shitty healthcare, bad teeth, and body odor.

That's my wish.

So they've evolved from "bloody" to variants of "fuck".

 

[sr71plt]

I only tried to do the British when I was living in countries where the international community was dominated by British expats. If you didn't assimilate to some degree there, the expats made life miserable for you.

As opposed to American: Tasteless piss served cold so you can't taste it. McDonalds. The worst healthcare in the developed world. Worse teeth than Britain. Walmart shoppers.

yup

 

[adrina]

yup

Fer fuck's sake.

I was feeling that way last week, so I went to an Indian restaurant and told them that from now on, I am the owner.

 

[butters]

by jingo! i do believe the gal has it innit?

from now on, whenever i type ffs you'll know exactly what it stands for

Why should I lie to you?

Wally's and McD's are in UK too. And if I want to taste beer I'll chase it with tequila. Meanwhile I'm off to the dentist's next week. I liked my previous (now retired) dentist; he applied nitrous oxide so I slept through everything.

Hmm, I wonder if nitrous beer is available anywhere? Pop the bottle, snort, chug, lie down, yada yada. (Yes, bottle -- canned beer is piss. Until chased.)

We'll have a good British dinner tonight: Curry.
