English Stereotypes

[Twizzler0171]

"...and what not."

For some reason, whenever I do my incredibly false English acts (or what not... er... ) I always find some way to add that. I don't know where I got it from, either.

EDIT: And little, "What, whats," too.

[.:Compact Disk:.]

... In Liverpool the word Sorry does not exist. Neither does any good grammer, suits are non existant exept at Weddings and funerals and we definatly do have alo of pubs.

[Paul]

It always rains. Always.

A common nickname is "Guv'nor"

Everyone is polite.

The whole Guv'nor thing is nonexistant. I've never heard anyone ever say Guv'nor, or Sarge. You've been watching too many British tv shows. It's crap.

I say 'whatnot' and 'suchlike' far too much.

[Josephine]

I'm English and I very rarely say "bloody".

[Igg]

It's these people watching Harry Potter.

[Christopher]

I'm English and I very rarely say "bloody".

I'm a New Zealander and I say bloody all the time

Bloody hell! Stop poking that bloody object at me! Where's my bloody drink?

Bloody = Good Kiwi Word. Not so much English though.

And you can't claim English people put U's where they don't belong, it's the Americans that ruin words by taking them away. *hates it when he sees "color"*

its not just u's! they take out other letters too - foetus, oesophagus.

[Cassi]

-English men apologize all of the time for no reason. Like Hugh Grant, only worse.

so true! one of my friends says sorry allll the time!
Him: how're you?
Me: a bit crap
Him: oh, i'm sorry
me: Why are you sorry! its not your fault!
It drives me mad!!

Paul does it, and doesn't seem to get that it drives me absolutely mad, no matter how often I tell him.

I think all the ones I think of have already been said.

There are no normal fast food resturants anywhere...

[Paul]

There are no normal fast food resturants anywhere...

Er, that's not true. We have McDonalds and others just like America, and Australia, and everywhere else.

I know, it's just this impression I have from somewhere. O_O

You all say fancy.

You favor your prize tulip over your first born son.

Actually, we took the O out of esophagus.

And don't forget we took the ash out of "encyclopedia," and the oethel out of lots of other words.

We like simplicity over here in these backwoods colonies.

[Bangel]

You don't like something, you fancy it.

Everyone is 'chap' or 'mate'.

Everything good can't be just good, it has to be "jolly good".

Two words. "Bloody hell."

Though I'm American and use the word "bloody" often.

Me: Bloody hell!
Friend: ...Is hell wounded or something?
