Get the British mug.Whats it like to be British? An understanding of subtle irony in comedy is very important as is a self depreciating sense of humour. Hating the French and most other Europeans would be an advantage but viewing the former colonys as "naughty children" when they start wars or international feuds etc. Manners and a sense of fair play are also very important. I personally do have bad teeth and see no real malice in americans making jokes about the british teeth (its just a joke!!)
Oh and on a final note we gave the French mad cow disease LOL!!!

Get the british mug.Related Words
Any who doesn't live in England who constantly tosses common Britishisms into their chat, Live Journal, comments, ect. in an attempt to make themselves appear more worldly than they actually are. In other words, ANY American who uses the words arse, bollocks, wanker or snarky when they've never set foot outside of their beloved Wisconsin/New Jersey, much less the United States.
A Britishism whore will oftin write in their LJ about the ROW they had with one of their ex-MATES when she requested the font on her LJ be more readable, "...but she just couldn't be ARSED to change it! She is, FULL STOP, a stupid RUDDY COW! Urh, puts me into a RIGHT SNARKY mood!"
Potter Heads, LOTR fans, the occasional Emo kid, a great deal of Mods and a surprising number of self-proclaimed "Grammar Nazis" are guilty of being blatant Britishism Whores. This special breed of whore incites allot of amusement from those who can see right through them (everyone.)

Riboflavin went secretly apeshit over the term Britishism Whore and promptly deleted it, because it was too revealing of her true whore-y self.

Get the Britishism Whore mug.BP for short. They are the English company responsible for the 2010 Gulf of Mexico disaster resulting in the worst oil spill in history.
British Petroleum will never be able to tell us how many millions of gallons (or barrels) of crude oil have spilled and poisoned the Gulf waters which will ultimately have negative long-term affects for many years and generations to come.

Get the British Petroleum mug.The Roman Empirer invades Britain in 43 BC and establishes the province of Brittania. When the Romans leave Britain, the island is invaded by germanic tribes like the Angles, the Saxons and the Jutes. The Anglosaxon tribes are united in 871 in the Kingdom of England, a feudal state. Large part of the country are conquered by Denmark in the ninth century. Finally in 1016 Denmarks rules the whole country. The Saxons regain power in 1042.
In 1066 England is invaded by the Normans from Normandy and they form the rulers of the Kingdom of England. The English conquest of Wales succeeds in 1282 and English rule is established 2 years later. An act of 1536 completes the political and administrative union of England and Wales. This is followed in 1607 with the annexation of Ireland. England becomes a republic in 1649 (the Commonwealth of England), but the monarchy is restored in 1660.
A second revolution leads in 1688 to a parliamentary system of government: England is now more or less a constitutional monarchy. In this system two parties exist, the Whigs and the Tories. These are not political parties in the modern sense, but cliques of nobles fighting about power. England and Scotland merge in 1707 into the Kingdom of Great Britain. Between 1715 and 1768 the Whigs dominate, but until 1830 the Tories have power. In 1901 Ireland is legally incorporated in the kingom under the name United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland one year later. Britain's industrial revolution greatly strengthened its ability to oppose Napoleonic France. By the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815, Britain is the foremost European power and its navy ruled the seas. Peace in Europe allows the British to focus their interests on more remote parts of the world and during this period the British Empire reaches its zenith. British colonial expansion reaches its height largely during the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901). British colonies contribute to the United Kingdom's extraordinary economic growth and strengthen its voice in world affairs. Thats what makes a great nation and people

Get the British mug.A British prep is different to their American equivalent. Rather than wearing tracksuits and Abercrombie and Fitch t shirts, the British Prep tends to opt for Brogues or plimsoles, Polo shirts, Tank tops and chinos. These are usually bought from Ralph Lauren and such. British preps almost always go to private schools and enjoy pastimes such as yachting, golf, tennis, badminton, polo and going to the races.
British Prep 1- Ya, I just arrived back from Gordonstoun, daddy and I are about to go feed the horses
British Prep 2- Nice, I'm off to Jack Wills, fancy getting out of the house wearing my new RL
British Prep 1- Coolness, have fun, Love ya!!!
British Prep 2- Love ya too babe!!!

Get the British Prep mug.The people who inhabit the large northwest-European islands known as the British Isles. These are, without a doubt, one of the greatest ethnic groups of people in the entire world. The nation known as the United Kingdom (or Great Britain) use to own a great majority of the earth, with colonies in North America, Africa, Far East Asia, Australia, the Middle East, and subcontinent Asia (India).
In my opinion, the British are a wonderful people, with an awesome culture, beautiful women, the greatest accents, and some of the best bands in the world.
