anglo-saxon attitudes 

The oddly antiquated and exaggerated body language exhibited by the March Hare (Haigha) in Lewis Carroll's "Through The Looking Glass." Victorians were intrigued by the history and culture of Anglo-Saxons, and Carroll pokes fun at this trend by transforming the March Hare of "Alice In Wonderland," into an Anglo-Saxon Messenger in the book's sequel. Alice comments "'...what curious attitudes he goes into!' (For the Messenger kept skipping up and down, and wriggling like an eel, as he came along, with his great hands spread out like fans on each side.)" This explains why the famous illustrator, Sir John Tenniel, depicted Haigha (rhymes with mayor, a homophone to the British pronunciation of "hare") in clothing that contemporary scholars viewed as being the typical garb of Anglo-Saxons. These academic jabs --- as well as subtle references to social celebrities, combined with rampant wordplay, and use of puns, puzzles, and logic --- made Carroll's "Alice In Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass" hugely popular with adults, as well as with the intended audience of children.
Tone down the hand gestures, man! Looks like you're going into Anglo-Saxon attitudes!

Anglo-slaxen 

A caucasian member of a modern western community between the ages of fourteen through thirty-nine who is notable for his or her exceptional levels of laziness and cynicism. The sense of humor of the anglo-slaxen consists almost exclusively of sarcastic remarks; their diet consists primarily of fast- and snack-foods. They can most often be found lying on a couch, lip-syncing to their favorite television shows and movies.
That one guy who was in classes the first week of the semester and then never showed up again until the final is such an anglo-slaxen.

That girl I work with is a total anglo-slaxen.

Anglo Saxon 

An Anglo Saxon is a person that descents of Germanic tribes and that inhabits the British isle, notably England. Vast numbers of Anglo Saxons also migrated to the US so they could spread their 'culture' there as well, only after they had murdered the indigenous population. Examples of Anglo Saxon cultural achievements are chavs, Wayne Rooney and Marmite.

Anglo Saxons often have pinkish or ruddy faces which is a result of a serious lack of pigmentation. They are a lot like albinos, though different in the sense that their limbs apparently do not magically cure all kinds of diseases
