Are they just playing dumb or do they really not know?

P.S.
Uh, Johnny E, just exactly what goes on over there?

I pissed my pants when read that article. I'm going to go change now.

It's that dual use thing again ... consider also US vs UK use of "fag", "fanny" & "twat"

ROFL... some of the quotes.... oh man!

Taken out of context some of those quotes could make for a VERY amusing ad campaign for alternative lifestyles!

"The great British faggot is full of flavour and a great belly warmer at this time of year."

Johnny, imagine if we used the word "fanny" for "cheeseburger." Good times will be had by all.

well after taking a look despite my fears of what lies beyond the link

i find this rather interesting, as to the different languages that are used in diffrerent parts of the world , at first i was thinking to myself "what is the family gay and being made fun of for it" but then i took a look and discoveredthat it was something totally different!

different languages and cultures and backgrounds are somewhat a part of my life as we have a wide range of it in my family, so i can understand if anyone gets the wrong idea by looking at it, i'm just a guilty for thinking about it in a different view.

So, Johnny, what exactly is a faggot anyway?

For some reason, everytime I hear that word the first thing that comes to mind
is the Kids in the Hall skit about the Running Faggot. Freakin hilarious.

Wtf do fanny and twat mean on that side of the pond?

[third_grade]I also giggled at the article because the family's last name is doody.[/third_grade]

I hate the use of that word, but I know comedy gold when I see it!

wtf, i thot a fag was a cigarette in magical england land?

If my google is corect it would be the same as an american meatball.

A fag is a cigarette, but i guess its different from a faggot.

Oh man, that's funny. The Doody's love faggots. They love faggots alot. Oh man. That's a good one

And I think a twat is like a booby. Err... in Britain at least.

i didnt know the legal age was 7 over ther....

If you read the whole page it tells you what a Faggot is.

Out of context that is f-ing hilarious

But how could they credit Haggis as a British dish, its Scottish dammit!

Britain = England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands, + a few islands I've forgotten ... so describing Haggis as "British" is technically correct.

It's also complete bannocks, which is why no-one uses "British" here ...
at a country level we're English, Welsh, Scottish, Ulster Scots, Irish, Northern Irish, etc;
but sometimes our region, island, county or even city is more important, hence being Cornish, a Manxman, a Yorkshireman, a Lancastrian, a Geordie, a Mancunian, etc, etc is _still_ "British" .... but we never use "British". Apart from on our passports.


What is is with modern passports anway? I remember when the "British" passport used to be a leather-bound tome you could smack pesky foreign customs officials round the head with, now it's a plasticky fartarse little thing .... .... I think I'll stop rambling now
