I so want to know those codes and follow them like a whipped dog.

This sort of thread makes me think that there's a lot of people who need less internet and more hugs.

i thought it was unhip to make such public declarations, but maybe the code has changed over time-- in any case, best wishes.

i hope these butterfuckers never catch on:

Non-Brits using British slang - that's hipster. On the other hand, Brits saying 'Dude' just makes my blood boil (in spite of the fact I do it all the time).

Sonic Youth 37 · 01.21.2009, 02:44 PM

Can't Murikans say "row", "cheers", or "bugger"?

Have you ever heard an American saying 'cheers'? It's like listening to your parents' sex sounds. Just wrong. What Americans don't understand is that, seared into the hearts and souls of every true Brit is a list - you have to respect your dialectical position in the list of best places to be from and say cheers:

1. Newcastle
2. Glasgow
3. Hull
4. Oxford
5. Sheffield
6. Bristol
7. North-East Wales
8. Cornwall
9. Belfast
10. Liverpool

You can say 'cheers' if you're not on the list, but you have to respect the list. Americans simply do not respect the list (neither do Swanseans, which is why no-one likes them either).

ar you kidding Glice?

every single american says "cheers" when toasting a beverage at a bar or any occassion!

And they sound like pricks doing so. I don't make the rules - as much as anyone else I'd like to know what Nascar is, or carry off a baseball hat, but it is simply not possible.

radarmaker · 01.21.2009, 04:12 PM

Cheers.

Rob Instigator · 01.21.2009, 04:22 PM

what else are you supposed to say when toasting? I thought it was a standard thang!

Glice · 01.21.2009, 04:33 PM

Yammas? Slainté?

Ok, I'll allow you to say cheers in toasts. In fairness, I was thinking about the phenomenon of 'cheers drive', which Londoners and non-Brits alike probably haven't experienced, or the cheers in the sense of someone just having opened a door for you or somesuch.

Sonic Youth 37 · 01.21.2009, 04:39 PM

I say "cheers" some because there does not seem to be a proper American English equivalent word.

Latinos say "SALUD!"
