Pfft. We're not subject to your queen anymore.
Anyways, have fun playing footy with each other.
Look, England gave us Shakespeare, Breakfast, Led Zep, and the Merlin engine. They deserve credit.
But loose the footy. Or continue standing in a circle and fiddling each other with your big toe. |

OP mentioned the dude said "oh, so you do like something about America".
That guys seems like a dbagger but I understand, maybe, where he was coming from. If his facebook is anything like mine, the news feed is always full anti-american articles from my Canadian buddies.
A night out drinking with a Brit or Canadian usually has a few
"oh, you're just a redneck" or "America is shite for this and this reason"
Doesn't bother me much, but Americans seem to rag on other countries the least. |

Okay.
Just saying, that in American if you went up to everyone and was like "Who's up for some footy?" The women would look at you like a pervert and then men would look at you like you were queer. Not gay or homosexual, queer. Weird Foot Fetish queer guy. Like, you couldn't say that to strangers without the risk of women calling the cops or some dude stuffing you in a garbage dumpster. |

I don't think "soccer" would draw the response "That's the gayest @#$^ I've ever heard." |

That shows how little you know about the UK. Like the USA, it has its fair share of narrow-minded cretins. A lot of people will glass you just for looking in their direction. |

Now THERE is some good British slang.
I still think back to Chisora going on about how David Haye "glassed him."
He glassed me! He glassed me! I swear, I'm going to physically shoot David Haye." (not metaphorically, not hypothetically, PHYSICALLY!) "He glassed me!" And all of this as the Klitschko brothers look on in bemusement. |

glassed, chaired, bottled, piss bottled, student- bashed, pool-cued etc. My personal favourite is 'coshed' though. We do have some very imaginative expressions for inflicting damage on people. |

I've never really experienced the different nationalities having a go at each other here, but then I tend to hang around with a small group of people and avoid the big foreigner get togethers
I can be irked by the overly loud North Americans, but then maybe I only connect the loudness and nationalities because of the stereotype. Loud Koreans annoy me too*, as do loud people from anywhere in the world
*When Korean women laugh loudly and clap as hard as they can at the same time I always want to bring my fist down on the table to silence them

Here's my question:
Is it virtuous to attempt to hijack an insipid and negative thread?
Please put many words into your reply to my question. Great thought is optional. |

I'm drunk.
I must profess that England has given us one true joy, so appropriate to our lives here in Korea. That is 'Rumpole of the Bailey'. If there is ever a show in a different discipline that resembles our existence as NETs, it must by Old Rumpole. Carrying on in our small group of similarly tied workers as those at 3 Equity Court? Others advance and pass us as we stick to our principles and our duties. We see Erskine-Brown esqe philanderers in our circle. Suck ups and buffoons like Featherstone and Ballard pass us by. All the while defending our principles and holding true to the gifts that Albion has bestowed upon this world. In the meantime the longtermers toil under that Korean madam of the house who can be called none other than "She Who Must Be Obeyed". But we, us poor Rumpoles, toil on in the tragicomic circus that is ESL. And like him, we score our small victories to remind us that indeed, we are carrying on the good fight.
This goes out to the bashers out there that refuse to compromise and are, our dear Rumpoles. |

| I actually like English slang. I've at times found myself envious that I can't use the word "mate" with people. I really enjoy how it's used with English people I know. And wanker, that's a funny word. |
