But this shit blows my mind. Are you guys seriously this frustrated at simple american phrases? You fucking nerds need to lighten up.

BBC News - Americanisms: 50 of your most noted examples

Is this just the old british people complaining about the new way of doing things or do all british people actually frown upon american dialects?

I have never heard anyone say "deplane"

**Mafoo** · 07-20-2011, 01:33 PM

to be honest, they mustve picked some real tight assed people. some of those things are really in consequential such as "take out" vs "take-away" WHO CARES!

Waves · 07-20-2011, 01:36 PM

Lloydy · 07-20-2011, 01:39 PM

If you were really pro-British Waves you would renounce your rebel ancestry and declare your allegiance to the Queen.

Waves · 07-20-2011, 01:42 PM

Yo, i didnt want to have to say anything, but i got some behind the scenes shit going on that involves tea smuggling, so in my own little way im stickin it to the yank scum

deadhead94 · 07-20-2011, 02:36 PM

British people have dome pretty dumbass words too.

Like why do they call a truck a lorry?

but a lot of things on that list do piss me off.

I don't like it when people use that phrase.

my_scatterheart · 07-20-2011, 04:03 PM

I've heard deplane, because I've been deplaned.
I've also heard "Winningest" but it was used in a Charlie Sheen/onlinememe kinda way. Still unacceptable.
Regardless - who the fuck cares? I like when people talk different. It's why I love Lloydy. Idk wtf that kid is sayin half the time. Makes me laugh.

i like "fire brigade" instead of "fire department" we should start saying that here.

i also think we should start calling the "hoods" of our cars "bonnets."
