Commonwealth Crawl

In the city of Boston, MA, the Commonwealth Crawl is known by most college students.

You start at the far end of Commonwealth Avenue, and as you make your way to the Boston Commons, you take a shot at each statue you pass.

The ultimate drinking game.

Mike: Did you do the Commonwealth Crawl last night?
Tom: Yeah, I was hammered, but not as bad as Chris who had to be dragged back to the dorm!

Commonwealth English

Thus it applys in theory to Australian English, British English, Caribbean English, Canadian English, Hiberno-English (Irish English)2, Hong Kong English3, Indian English (includes Pakistani English), formal Malaysian English, New Zealand English, formal Singapore English (but not colloquial Singlish) and South African English.

Commonwealth English

Commonwealth English is the name for a mythical variety of English which is only defined as “not U.S.”, and ignores the fact that the Commonwealth of Nations is an international organization whose membership changes regularly.

There is no such distinct variety defined by either accent, vocabulary, or spelling and orthography. English within the Commonwealth of Nations is diverse – for example, Canadian English is more closely related to (U.S.) American English than to any other variety – while English dialects can cross the bounds of the Commonwealth, like Irish English, spoken in the Republic of Ireland which is left the Commonwealth a half-century ago, and in Northern Ireland a part of the United Kingdom, a charter member of the Commonwealth of Nations.

Here in Ottawa we speak and write Commonwealth English, same as in Auckland, Karachi, London, and Singapore.

Commonwealth of Australia

A neoliberal oligarchy based in Canberra that somehow has jurisdiction over an entire continent. Has never held any international significance and its politically uninvolved population could not care less.

guy 2: what the fuck is a commonwealth?
