Question for americans
 

Can you tell me what the word "Britain" means?

Britain= England, Wales, Scotland

do the rest of you agree with that? or is he wrong?

heres a hint on whether to agree or not: my sisters bf, who is from Brighton is staying at the house......talk it over...

Lock n Load, Walter hehe

oh no, you wrote those replies on Shomer Shabbas...
?
naw that's Sat

That fuckin' kraut Berkholder...I told him I don't Roll on Saturdays..., I don't clean, I don't work, I don't drive and I certainly don't fuckin roll!....SHOMER SHABAS

Where is Northern Ireland then?And by Northern Ireland i don't mean 'the whole' of the north of Ireland.And i thought that i was shit at geography...........

I usually refer to it as England for some reason.

britain means "one whose arse smells of stout beer shits"

Bitain- An country over-seas where homies cant pronounce R's and like to drink to drink tea alot

??:confused:


True

ive already had 2 cups of tea today

Is that all? You call yourself British?

fuck england, it's like another state of the union, like utah or wyoming.

merica lieks thm britts. the bvritts are english jus like them americans o the y have something in common and they like to share it so they're all "Hey loke!! We're both english, we're the bomb yo"

im sorry i will go make another one now!

Well, americans say R's like ARRRRGH. Ya know? Like a pirate

I was playing this European guy on Halo (I am pretty sure he was Scottish) that couldn't pronounce 'rape'. He kept saying 'repped'. It was funny.

Why did ya talk about rape while playing a computer game?

All the 13 year old kids say stupid shit like "Get Raped" after they've killed you. In that particular game, I was winning but he kept saying "get repped" after he killed me. It was really stupid.

Yeah, that happens..hahah

Ah, I see. I'm not much of a gamer myself, so I don't know all your urban slang. :)

I'm not American

another question for the americans. why all the water towers?



i saw one that said sandwich on the side that i thought was funny.

For the water...?

you dont have unserground pipes like civilised nations?

They are for building up water pressure, not storing water. The water eventually goes to underground pipes, of course.
Some larger office parks even have their own.

See I always thought the British (Union) Flag was just England's flag, since that's what it always seemed to represent, and assumed England and Great Britain were the same thing. Apparently they're not.

England = England
Britain = England, Scotland, Wales, maybe N. Ireland
UK = Britain + Ireland

?

Fuckin' 'ell.

Right, fucking right.

England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

i thought "Britain" was a brand name invented by New Labor.

get used to it... it's no use fighting geographical terminology. many dutch people would refer to your country just as "engeland" (england) when they actually mean all of britain or uk. bad luck for the scots and the welsh. in the same way many people used to call the soviet-union just russia.

but then again holland isn't the same as the netherlands either, and hardly anyone knows. bad luck for frysians or pretty much everyone living in the north, east and south of the country.

I basically consider all the states to be just "America." So I guess it's the same thing.

Except for Wyoming. We don't really need that...

Haven't we been over this before?
There's a country called "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" So that means that Northern Ireland isn't part of Great Britain, is it? Bahvlahvlablah

would you also like for me to explain to the cretinous american fellows around these parts what the difference is between "britain" and "briton"?

britain is the place, a briton is a person from britain.

precisely, briton.

It's fair to say that the great majority of people in any given country are completley ignorant about other countries' geographical positions or divisions etc etc.It's a bit when both in America or even more in England(not Britain,mind) people assume the the great majority of people really give a damn fuck about the past/present or future of pop culture.That's the way it goes.

So why are there MPs from Northern Irish constituencies in the British parliament then?

United Kingdom and Great Britain may have different meanings, but in casual conversation their meanings are usually the same.
