A particular minority of middle aged working class male indigenous to Britain with either a beer belly, shaved face, lamb chops or moustache. Can be seen drinking premium lager, complaining about foreigners, or leering at women whilst laughing at cripples and condemning "smackheads" and those on benefits. Red face, shaking, rolling R's and misunderstanding technology whilst believing everyone is trying to rip them off with extended warranties are common tendencies. Impartial to a bit of wife-beatery.

Get the Britsman mug.A unique and rare brand of native English that can basically be described as British English with American influences. This particular accent will only be found in non-native english speaking territories such as Hong Kong and in parts of Europe, however the speaker's first language is always English. This is quite common among Eurasian children (half Asian half white) with one British parent. This individual will attend international school (English speaking) and therefore will often only speak English though they reside in a non-English speaking part of the world.
At school this kid will mingle with American, Australian, New Zealand, Canadian and of course British kids. American television and music will be a heavy form of entertainment and there will often be some North American teachers at the school. Because of this, the British accent becomes more Americanized than would be normal in the United Kingdom, however the accent stays chiefly British at the core. This may confuse many as this individual will be perceived as sounding British in N America but American in Britain. It can be described as half/half English.

Get the Acting British mug.Etymological history of the term brotus stems far back into the time of the Roman Empire. It is a modern day spin off based on the character description of Brutus, who was the famous assassin of Caesar. To be a brutus to someone is to stab them in the back and show no respect for them. Brotus is the antonym to the word brutus which, is a term that can be described as brotherhood. When someone is close friends with someone they are considered to be their brotus. The term brotus is the masculine version of term. The feminine version of the word is brotusette, and the plural masculine is brotusi.
