Worst Things to Say to a Proud Englishman
If you don't want to be scowled at from a great height, DON'T say any of these things. What! I'm trying to help you!There was actually a guy I met face to face who assumed I was American because I have an ever so slightly deep and strong voice. I felt slightly miffed.
Many centuries ago, English people were convicts and moved to Australia by boat. Accents sound similar!
I'm sorry to you wonderful Brits, but I have actually messed this one up! Please don't hurt me!
Right, they didn't really just fight a war. They jumped in and fought alongside others in the World Wars only because another country bombed them, and they retaliated by bombing innocent people. I'm not saying Britain didn't do bombing, but the Blitz was bad.
America had a much bigger population in the World Wars, but only 626,000 died compared to 1 million British with a smaller population. Bletchley Park played a huge role. No one single country won the World War.
Admittedly, America had a large war effort, but other countries also played a substantial role. It wasn't just America. Also, very few English people own donkeys, so we really didn't need our asses saved.
Same thing if you said this to us Canadians!
No, I haven't got that around the wrong way...
Just humour us on this, please? We DID discover America, didn't we?
There is a reason why the word GREAT exists in front of Britain. Get used to it. It's been difficult, but we managed it.
The worst thing you can do to even the most unpatriotic Englishman is diss the empire.
What about the Royal Family from England?
It's the English language. Americans (hand on heart, God bless America and all that) only have an accent.
Aren't all Americans, Aussies, Brits, Canadians, Scots, Welsh, and Irish all speaking the same English?
Nothing wrong with Scotland, as long as you don't believe in the Loch Ness Monster. It was either from the prehistoric era or a myth.
The English may as well hotfoot it to Jockland as they're all over here...
I drink coffee. I like Costa Coffee.
Do you realize all this stupid rain is why we don't have Spring breaks and shorter summer school and college holidays (vacation)? We have bank holidays. Spring break is like Easter. Summer is late July to early September.
