Brits: call me names here, and I will sue you for huge money

Since the Cellar is much larger than this little message board, I assume my damages could be much higher. Come on Cyclefrance, be-bop, limey, Sundae Girl, York, grazzers... and everyone else from the island (jag, you still there..?)... tell me what you really think of me!

Can't get blood from a turnip, you nazi-noncy-racist-bigot-lard-brained peepee head.

What's a £? I only have $. You can only take someone's £, right? :worried:

Yea I"m stuck here for a fair while yet. I would have loved to see the legal transcript about whether he was a nonce or not.
UT smells of pee.

Cyclefrance's bike has rubber baby buggy bumper tires - I mean tyres! :D

Clearly Mrs Williams has not been taught the ways of subtle abuse, as is prevalent in most reasonably educated Brits. The slur is generally so cleverly disguised that for those of lesser intelligence it can pass by unnoticed or even be translated as a compliment. I remember sounding off in such a way in an email to a local Parish Councillor, then immediately regretting what I had done. I was a bit sheepish when I next met him - and then astounded that he bought me a beer.

Of course, I know that, being such a likeable sort of chap, any abuse directed my way must be in jest and good fun. And as for dealing out abuse, well I could never do that to any of my friends at the Cellar, It would be totally wrong to take such an advantage...

There, did you get it?

Please can you clarify, Marichiko:

Do you mean that the baby's a rubber one? Is the baby in a buggy or is the buggy a baby one? Or are the tires baby ones? Is the bumper made of rubber, or maybe its the buggy that's made of rubber?

I'm so confused I haven't had a chance yet to work out if it's an insult or not. I mean, it could well mean that my bike is good one because it has tires that wouldn't do damage to a baby buggy...

I think you have genuinely perfected the art of the subtle slur, my dear....

I guess you Brit's don't have that child's tongue twister? Little kids over here try to say that phrase really fast several times in a row, and it ends up becoming an even more delightful piece of non-sense than it already is. Imagine a 5 year old shouting "rubber baby buggy bumper tires (tyres)" as fast as s/he can lisp it 7 or 8 times in a row. Cheap thrills for the kindergarten crowd. (was that subtle enough?) :lol:

BTW, I've read enough British novels to feel a true sense of terror at the British, well educated, put down. I DID read Ian's book, you know. Did you ever get a copy of it? I still have that damn small barking dog that accompanied the latest set of official UK government forms that Social Scrutiny afflicted me with! ;)

NO but I need a few books to take with me on a couple of long flights - so I will do my damndest to get a copy at the weekend!

you all suck nazi balls

Note the difference between the insults given by our British cousins versus our Aussie ones.

Aussies - you gotta love 'em. They always let you know where you stand! :lol:

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will get your ass sued.

what's a nonce?

at least i didnt call you a kiwi

;)

From Wikipedia (too lazy to give the link, google it yourself, ya googleheads):

In the UK, the term nonce is a slang word used to refer to a sex offender, especially child sexual abusers, and thus as an insult.

How in the heck did that happen? Nonce is (was I guess) a perfectly good word meaning "the time being". Sounds like it got hijacked.
