in New Zealand, instead of "I don't want to deal with that" they say "I don't want to be fucked by that."

My sister's friend told of this time where her and a co-worker where on a farm or something, and her co-worker said "I don't want to be fucked by that pineapple"

lulz were had

Man. Sometimes I forget that the working class british are actually really cool because in the US it's mostly upper middle class and businessmen that you come into contact with.

A British woman is not pregnant. She is stuffed. A toddler in England sucks his dummy, and a uterus expands to 500 times its normal size during child birth.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fagging

QuoteAt many schools, fag-masters were expected to reward their fags for their efforts at the end of term by giving a monetary 'fag tip'. The 1911 Britannica details an evolution of the role at Eton college. Roald Dahl relates in his autobiography being told, as a fag, to warm toilet seats for older boys at Repton.

though, i must say it sets my teeth on fire when an englishman says something along the lines of, 'x is playing so shit', 'maybe you wouldn't be so shit if y'.
