Grown, burly men call soccer "footie". Ignore the great soccer, football, handegg debate for now because the word footie is ridiculous. Americans don't watch golfy or wrestly, or basey or racetracky or any other cutesy name for their sports.

I used to think it was like the lady's name "Gail" because it looks like it should sound similar.

Legit confronted a brit about their use of the "r" sound between voiced words and he wouldn't admit to it.

"You wot now? We was watching the CoparAmericaron the telly, me mates and my ol´pal Gavin gives us a call, said Graham, Gary, Neil, Nigel, Geoff and Stephen were 'aving a go at Mary and those birds frum the pub the other nite you know...."

Captain Picard sometimes calls Mister Data "Mista Dater." Now how does that make any sense, I ask you.

hearing an englishwoman say "chocky bikkie" referring to a chocolate biscuit (cookie) made me shudder with revulsion so much that I probably caused that volcanic eruption in indonesia

Milo and POTUS: Sep 3, 2017; I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I'd only ever seen it written and I always thought it was pronounced with a hard "g."

Learning that it's pronounced out loud like "jail" is blowing my mind almost as hard as when I learned the "Tems" and the "Thames" were not two different rivers.

yeah I eat ass: Mar 14, 2005; only people who enjoy my posting can replace this avatar

I watched a couple australian (which i'm lumping in with the british) prison movies today and it just seemed bizarre. There were people calling people who clearly weren't black black, they were getting like 5 year sentences for murder, and had the dumbest haircuts i've ever seen.

so whats the deal with that.

here in the commonwealth we don't like to punish criminals, they cost too much to house and feed so it's easier and simpler to just give murderers and rapists like 2 year sentences and then let them free to commit more crime. this is often under the guise of 'rehabilitation'

Marmaduke!: May 19, 2009; Why would it do that!?

There was a gaol for sell near me, it had. 5 bedroom main house and 3 1 bedroom flats, including actual dungeons. Would've been £400K so the income from three rented flats alone would cover the mortgage but I couldn't convince the wife to go for it...
