Ugh...Is everyone from britain

Yes I fully accept that, You don't seem to have the finer points of this down.

Yes it is a pitcher to you, and to me its a jug, fine its both, good.
Yes bloody is an accepted Engrish word in Engrand, not used alltogether that much but it is a word none the less, in addition to being an intensive; to an American it most likely just means covered in blood, yes?

Substitute diaper for nappy, or pavement for sidewalk it makes no difference.
I'm not having a go at you bud, it is inteded as a dig at the original poster BrolyBoo, who states that he is unable to understand the language used.
If we are not to use these words that are obviously a problem for our Atlantic cousins, then I say that there are words used in America that the rest of the world will not fully understand.
It only takes a little research, tolerance and understanding.

Fortunately I had one of my extensive American family on hand to help out :-)

P.S. Dude I really like 44 Fl. Oz. beers, they should do those here.

course i understand that, im just saying you guys use too many words that i dont understand

hehehe, i started a couple of pages on bullshit

At school there was this guy who was a Shi'ite, he was sat next to a guy who was a Sunni.

They introduced themselves and mentioned what religions they were, and then he said, right to his face, "That's not a religion, that's just made up shit."

That was a good day at school.

im a sunni muslim

would you consider the other muslims to be full of shiite?

[Snee]

and I was born there also. I came here when I was 4.

So you are Armenian then, being that you were born there.

Huzzah for him.


I gotta' wonder tho', can one really be two nationalities at once (not counting legally now, but speaking more generally, of one's perception of identity), won't it be a case of being an Armenian living in America, or an American of Armenian descent?

I think of myself as a Scotsman living in Scotland. I can't see any problem with that.

However my heritage is Irish. So I find it difficult to feel close to anything which happened in Scotland over about 100 years ago, when all of my grandparents moved here.

I thought I was Welsh till a few years ago.

I thought I was Welsh till a few years ago.

What happened?

I thought I was Welsh till a few years ago.

They can cure Welsh now, awesome.

My father's mother passed away when he was 14 and he was brought up by his sister who for some reason he lost touch with as an adult. When reunited he was informed he didn't share the same father as the rest of them. Instead of being a Jones, he is the son of an American GI. Name and details unknown.

So I've been saddled with an incredibly Welsh name, when in actual fact I'm a quarter Indeterminate Yank, a quarter Frenchish, and half Greek.

[Snee]

Sorry 'bout your da.

And also, sorry about losing your welshness, as everything is relative.

[CrabGirl]

Yeh I know. Stripped of my Welshness only to gain French and Merkin doesn't seem like a fair swap does it.

Dad doesn't mind. He lives in Hereford where it's legal to shoot a Welshman with a crossbow in the town square at certain times of the year, whilst standing on one leg or something.
