Pfffft. And all Americans say 'boddle of wadder'.
Are you the
Buh'oh ah wa'ah
Or
Bah'ol ah wa'er
Or
Bo'el a wo'ah
Type of English?
I speak the Queen's English (I haven't downloaded the update yet), so I'm more of a 'bottle of water' sort of English. Must be because I'm posh.
Ah, RP, so
Bottol of wotta
to me they sound like "buddle of woderr"
Crack head Geri
Shouldn't the title be bo'o'o'wo'ah?
Americans latching on to this, and then not batting an eye when their president acts like theres no L's in 'billions'.
"Beee'ins." What a goblin.
That's one guy, and he isn't exactly popular. If Sir Keith were the only one over there who talked funny, we wouldn't clown on you guys so much.
Popular enough to win a fucking presidential election though, twice. So how unpopular is he really?
With significant evidence and whistleblower testimony that the elections were tampered with. How popular is that?
Being one iota better than Trump isn't enough when you actively tell your own base to fuck off and send the police to kick the shit out of the politically activated youth who make up your ground game.
When the Torries win next election, will it be evidence that the UK likes whoever is elected queen, or that Labor has killed any hope their base had of Labor enacting their will?

They have war drums.
Them thieving bastards
War Horse is all about war horse, like.
Españoles: "coge esa pistola"
Argentinos/Uruguayos: 😳😏🥵
My college Spanish can't fail me... of course it just says "pick up that gun" and isn't some sort of double entendre that I don't understand
Your observations are correct.
NSFW explanation
In Spain, "coger" is "to take", and "pistola" is "pistol/gun".
In Argentina/Uruguay, "coger" is slang/vulgarism for "to have sexual intercourse [with]", while "pistola" is also slang for penis. Literally "fuck that cock" or "have sex with that penis"
Ah, so it's kinda like "smoke a fag" in English / English (simplified)
never knew that
new slang unlocked
You'll be ~~glad~~ pleased to hear that "concha" ("shell/conch")...
NSFW
...is also a very vulgar form of calling the female genitals (akin to "cunt")
A common insult in Ar/Uy when you are really pissed off is "la concha de tu madre" ("your mother's conch/cunt")
OK but in South America and Mexico, literally everything also means clock or duck.
They must be a very timely people!
Dam autocorrect
In Portuguese from Portugal, one of the words for "queue" is "bicha",
In Portuguese from Brasil, "bicha" is a slang word for homosexual and has nothing to do with queues.
So the common Portuguese expression to tell somebody one's going to stand on a queue - "vou para a bicha" (literally "I'm going to the queue") - has a whole different meaning for Brasilians.
I like how they just made the British dog's nose massive.
How does a british say "bloody nose" without swearing?
I think they call it a nosebleed. Or something ridiculous sounding, like an old red snooty boot.
We get nosebleeds, we give bloody noses
You don't find a bloody nose just lying around, you must get them from somewhere.
*bloody nosebleed
also why is the "innit" there like what that's not how that word is used
Innit tho
How else will readers know they're Bri'ish innit
idomatically that's exactly how it's used - as one would say, "right?" "okay" "eh?" "feel me?" "dig?" "am I right?" "see?" "no?" at the end of a sentence in other epochs/cultures.
u've got red on ye' guvna!
you fukkin wot m8?!
swear on me mum...
"have"?
I think you mean 'ave, mate, innit?
You 'avin a giggle mate?
Cheerio! It’s all fun and games until someone actually drops the 'T' and we realize we're just talking in cursive. ☕️
I thought the joke was that the politicians all use coke at first.
