selective britishness

When the overall country (Britain) is used to spread the dissapointment or a failure of an individual region (Scotland/Ireland/Wales/but normally England). When regions pick and choose their Britishness to suit them.
When Henman loses a tennis match, it's a sad day for "Britain", not "England", and when Murray wins a match, it's a good day for "Britain" not "Scotland". Perhaps I'm biased (being a scot) but it always seems that way. Selective Britishness! Hah!

Bratishka

brah-TEESH-ka

Literally Bratishka means "little brother" in Russian (Brat = brother) .

Bratish' (brah-tEEsh) is a short form of "bratishka".

You can refer to your younger bros as bratishka(singular) or bratishki(plural). The term is mostly applied to those younger than you; sometimes it can be applied to bros of your age, and it's rare to heard it said to anyone older.

The word is widely used in post-Soviet countries among Russian and non-Russian speakers.

homie, bro, younger brother, good friend.
Bratishka! lemme get some cash, man.

Let me call up my bratishka, he'll hook us up with some deals.
