For people who don't understand the UK - (Dyna Mo / KlenTelaris, this is for you)

[Si]

Noticed a few posts in this thread about the Brits: http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showthread.php?p=18028687

To better understand why we troll eachover so much here is a rundown of why......

If you are from London you will hate the following people:

Anyone from a different area of London, anyone south of London, anyone east of London, Anyone North of London and Anyone west of London.

Replace London with any city/town/village in the country and you will be pretty accurate.

For example: If you are in Dover, you will hate anyone from any other part of England/UK and you will hate the French (I think this is an exception which carries throughout the UK )

We call our friends Cunts and people we have never met Mate.

We punch our friends and shake hands with our enemies.

Anyone from the South loves to take the piss out of northerners, and northerners love to take the piss out of southerners.

Just to name a few reasons......

[dyna mo]

i really want to be british now!

[harvey]

Some friend who also is a "hooligan-esque" fan of Hibernians made me promise I'd always be a Hibernians fan (yeah, like they'll ever win anything) and hate Hearts. That for Scotland only, then I was free to hate everybody south of Edinburgh

I love English people, I really do, they're absolutely crazy, their food is the most absolute crap, and it's always raining and foggy, but it seems I've a weak spot for crazy people

Nota bene: I still think the DamianJ vs Paul Markham catfight is boring

Brits are fine. Moaning is just a trait you have to ignore.

I can't stand American's insincerity. They greet strangers like long lost brothers, or profess their love for people they only like and everyone ask me how I am, without giving a fuck or tells me have a nice day without giving a I fuck what day I have.

I'm all for manners, but it has to actually mean something. Just say good day or good bye if that's all you mean.

"HI, how are you today?" = Don't for fucks sake tell me, because I don't give a fuck.

"Have a nice day now and come back and see us all." = Like I give a fuck what day you have and phone me first so I can give you an excuse not to see you.

Given that shaking hands is supposed to be a friendly greeting a lot of people don't get this one at all. I come from an area where if you go in somewhere strange the person that wants to shake your hand is going to be the person who's going to be first in the queue to bottle you or be waiting outside for you with a knife

But we are an island race, we don't like any europeans.

To be honest, i'm not too keen on the people in my hometown, bloody hate my neighbours.

I always think someone is after something if they shake my hand Or, they are about to somehow fuck you over.

[moeloubani]

No one in a queue is going to bottle you, the guy that's bottling you is standing in line, if he is queued up he will probably just shake your hand and tip his top hat.

[dyna mo]

what does bottle mean?

Top hat? Anyone wearing a top hat in the UK these days wont be for very long....

Smash a bottle over someone's head basically.

This pastime usually occurs at night time outside pubs/clubs/bars or after football matches. Sometimes inside aswell

EDIT: And what TheDA said, smash the bottom off and stab someone with it.

Bollocks mate, just like in WW2, america wouldn't get involved if Britain was at the threat of invasion unless they were going to get paid for it.
If there was no cash to pay for them then america would just stand back.

Don't let pesky facts get in the way of history, man.

[dyna mo]

here's one thing a lot of americans don't get about you brits.

i mean so what if it's named football and the ball is shaped funny.

I think we see it as a piss take calling it Soccer more than anything (I hate that word with a passion lol). You guys calling it Football (what we like to take a poke at calling it handegg) is fine.

Rugby isn't too different to American Football but is played without all the protective shit makes seeing a bunch of guys in body armour look kinda weak to us.

You call it a touchdown when the guy just runs over the line, in Rugby you have to actually touch the ball down to score what they call a "try" (I know that doesn't sound much better either lol)

The Foot/Ball bit is kinda ironic aswell. Barely touches the feet, and it isn't really a ball. But then a Rugby Ball isn't a Ball either (so again not much better there either).

That put together makes American Football look kinda like a joke.

Football touches the feet, head and chest only. Using your hands isn't allowed unless you are goalkeeper obviously. Makes more sense foot/ball.

Then you have other sports which do make sense.

Basketball - the ball goes in the basket

Baseball - you have bases and it is played with a ball

I dunno it's strange, if it was called something like "European Football" or Something along them lines, calling it Soccer could be gotten rid of.

You know the US/Canada are about the only countries in the world that call it Soccer? I think there is a few others, will have to check that.

Then another thing that makes me laugh is things like this:

Toronto FC - FC means Football Club right? shouldn't it be SC for Soccer Club?
More FC uses: MUFC, CFC, LFC, THFC, etc...

UEFA - The F doesn't stand for Soccer

FIFA - Again, the second F doesn't stand for Soccer.

FA - F means Football again.

Just one of them things! Cultural differences

Gaelic Football

One played with a proper football, but with rugby rules mixed in. They still use their feet a lot.

There is also Aussie Rules Football which is different and they use a rugby ball

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_rules_football

[Si]

Obviously me and about 95% of people I know hating the word Soccer is a generation thing aswell.

Hard to tell on a forum,

If they were to meet eachover in public and talk it would be mush easier to figure out

[Si]

I like this one! just found it on that wikipedia link

In Chinese, the term 足球 (Hanyu Pinyin: zúqiú, Cantonese: juk kau) is used. The term, a calque, literally means football (足=foot, 球=ball), and is always associated with association football.

Rugby is known as ganlanqiu (橄榄球, olive ball). American football can be referred to as a type of zuqiu, but it is more commonly seen as a type of ganlanqiu.

"Olive Ball" makes more sense

well, technically the handegg tag doesn't ring true. a football isn't shaped like an egg rly.

DamianJ reminds me of one of my mates, loves to wind people up and take the piss and keeps a straight face while doing it (hard to read)

ArseWithClass seems like the kind of person who doesn't give a shit what people think. This could be mixed with a slightly void area between his ears but I don't think that is 100% true.

And

DVTimes probably wouldn't know if someone was taking the piss or being serious because he is too dumb to figure it out.

That's how I see it anyway

[dyna mo]

btw, i'm pretty butt hurt none of you brits replied in my royal wedding threads here.
