Wrench in USA. Spanner in UK

 

We have wrench just means a bigger tool. lol

A wench is an old word for serving-woman. Just saying. lol

 

Something I've not noticed here yet

"You wanker!" - said no Yankee ever.
"You jack/jerk off?!" - said no Brit ever.

 

Tosser not sure they say that either. lol

 

Puller ,either

 

HaHAHAHA LOL

 

I think Brits say "sorted" when referring to partying or being high or something.

 

I'm just awaiting an American to come along and say how they're offended at being called a Yankee.

Hey, we Brits have been called Pommies by Australians for literally ages as if they're trying to degrade us in some way, yet none of us Brits have ever given a shit about it lol, sorry I mean "none of us Brits could care less about it" I beg your pardon.

 

Many meanings to that. lol

 

Ha that is true. I don't like being called European though.

 

Ufff don't say that infront of a remainer, according to them anyone would think we're a small island who can't stand on our own two feet as a nation.

Great Britain is the greatest most successful European nation ever, by far - thanks to our American cousins from both world wars. If not for the Americans then the Germans/Nazi's would've owned that.

I don't like being called English. To me that is just our common language. We are British. The Kingdoms of England and Scotland unified centuries ago, that created the best union the world has ever known, and then the best allied union the world has ever known, fact. Ireland ultimately only became a Republic because of a beefier Britain v2.0 version we all now recognise as USA, a bit like some of the Scots with the EU...

 

I wouldn't go to Northern Ireland and say that if I were you, you might not leave alive !!!

 

Suppose I've got more balls then you then.
Leadership requires balls and compromise for the people, not something the current monarch the Queen of Great Britain was simply content with. The Queen is weak, I'd have united the English speaking nations and the commonwealth. Queen Lizzy the 2nd has absolute and utter zero ambition as a Queen.

 

I have travelled to Northern Ireland fairly frequently these past 12 years and know something about the Potestant Right, the Orange Order and the UDF. Some of them are really 'hard nuts'. If you go over to certain parts of Belfast and say what you have said on here, no-one could guarantee your safety and I seriously doubt would would get to leave alive.

 

I'd be like, fuck off then. Most of your families have gone to America, and still American haven't achieved even a quarter of they achieved under British rule.
Ireland only has some of its cultural heritage left for its self identity and way of life. It has accepted all EU laws in any way shape or form, regardless of its own peoples local political views - something I suppose they highly strongly opposed under British rule - even when they were a leading "state" when they were part of an entire global empire - its obvious they only left (Literally the biggest empire/organisation the world has ever known) as a bargaining chip that the USA would become... as we know it as today.

 

I'll excuse you, since your comments clearly demonstrate your ignorance of Ireland, its history and the fact that the six counties that form Northern Ireland are, in fact, part of the UK.
