I'm classy damn it.

[(V) (`m`) (V) ︵ ┻━┻]

Hmm, yes quite.

* adjusts your monocle*

Aww shit do I love wearing suits, unfortunately the sixth form I attend says they are 'too formal'...fuck them.

I have this fantastic black jacket I only remembered a few weeks ago that goes great with a plain white t-shirt and jeans. With my hair in a mohican I look like something out of the 1960s, especially if I chew on a tooth pick. XD

[(V) (`m`) (V) ︵ ┻━┻]

Awesome.

What color is it?

Your hawk.

[Calvary]

Dark brown like the rest of my hair, I was going to highlight it blonde but then I'd look like a nonce.

We should have WDYLL thread me thinks. XD

*camwhore powers awayyyyyy*

[(V) (`m`) (V) ︵ ┻━┻]

Nonce?

Eh, internet is creepy enough without adding looks to the mix me thinks.

[Calvary]

Buuuut I'm a pretty butterfly! ;~;

XD

nonce...idiot et Anglais...

[(V) (`m`) (V) ︵ ┻━┻]

From Wikipedia:

"In the United Kingdom and Australia, the term nonce or nonse is a slang word used to refer to a sex offender or child sexual abuser. Although the term traditionally referred specifically to sex offenders, it has now become a more general term of abuse and is approximately synonymous with "idiot".^[1][2]"

Gotta love British slang.

It can be just as colorful as American Southern slang that sounds like you're complimenting someone but, in reality, you're insulting the shit out of em'.

[Calvary]

yeh, not that many people know the true meaning so you can get away with calling a teacher a sex-offender rather easily. XD

Now 'en, time to leave all you septic tanks, I'm Hank Marvin and I need chish and fips.

Later berkshire hunts ;D

I have no idea what's going on here.

Hank Marvin: Cockney slang for starving.

Interesting.

Septic Tanks: Cockney slang for yanks.

Berkshire Hunts: Cockney slang for cunts.

I feel loved. >.<

Anyhow, I've heard of the the Cockney dialect before (Is it considered a dialect?), is that what you speak regularly or just dish out a few words here and there?

Golgotha is insulting us Americans in his native tongue that even insults the Queen of his country.

[SpleenBeGone]

Damn limies. >.>

We don't really ever speak rhyming slang, unless you're in the East of London, and then it's only to a few other cockneys. For example, I would never use rhyming slang in a day to day conversation except for berk (cunt) or perhaps a few I can't think of. It's not so much a dialect as it is a bastardisation of the 'English' language. XD

Ah, okay.

What I find interesting is how the English call us Americans yanks, however, in America, the term yank or Yankee is used in referenced towards Americans who hail from the Northeastern region of the U.S., particularly New York City. Granted, the word is rarely used in America nowadays.

Also, English words that end in -sation over there in England always end in -zation over here in America.

My spellchecker says you're wrong whenever I quote you.

This is so damn fascinating. =/

Interestingly enough, my reading voice speaks in a posh British accent for whatever reason.

[Calvary]

Ah, I agree it's fascinating, I study the English Language and if there was money in it, I'd get a job in it too. =)

Alack it can never be.

Yeah, I love translating (between Americanized English and foreign languages) and while there are jobs in the translation business, such jobs do not pay good at all!

Serious but, slightly dumb, question: Is the word centre pronounced like the word center?

One of the local shops in my town decided to be fancy and put the word centre on their entrance signed several years ago.

I was wondering what was cool about spelling the word center wrong and thought the internet had caught on in real life.

[Calvary]

Centre sounds exactly the same, and has the same meaning. =)
