A non-Brit whose appreciation of quaint, English customs, Harry Potter, Dr Who, Sherlock etc is about the limit of their knowledge, forgetting that modern UK is nothing like a lot of these shows portray for most of the people living there.
Teeaboos are not particularly new, as Americans and non-europeans have enjoyed twee and anachronistic visions for decades, such as the Richard Curtis movies that were cynically marketed to US audiences, while bizarrely extinguishing the presence of non-whites (see Notting Hill) from London.
Weirdly, children's sci-fi Dr Who is more demographically realistic in it's portrayal of modern Britain than most popular exports, but is still 'London-centric'. Unfortunately, this is because the BBC is Londoncentric in its programming and ignores many other regions of the nation, with their own rich histories and cultures.

Get the Teeaarbee mug.Pronounced: (team - a - la - bee) or many variations such as "tembea, seema teemee, etc."
Shortened form of "talking about." Could follow "neemala" to construct the phrase "neemala teemalabea?" or "Do you know what I'm talking about?"
When used while the speaker is under the influence of alcohol, it is sometimes repeated over and and over many times, with variations on accentuated syllables and rolls of the tongue. This creates a language which only a person of equal or greater intoxication to the speaker can understand.
