british

I'm proud of being british, i'm sure your proud of being patriotic too of your country.

I also thought the americans were our friends...obviously not, they seem to hate us for some reason judging by the amount of crap isults posted in this dictionary...

personally, I was interested into the amount of directed hate towards us by our american friends and thought why?

apart from our recent international relations with you with invasions against terror and other types, I thought, as a british citizen, that things were normal but instead a find abuse flying between minority groups of the urban dic-tionary from both our nations.

minority groups on your side seem to think that "we go around thinking we own the place", what bollucks, our empire days are over and only hope that it caused as much good as it did bad.

also, you seem to think we live in a mary poppins world with plummy accents; yeah, our accents are weird but we're proud of that :)

saying all this to a british guy and the remarks about bad teeth would just piss him off, becuase it stereotyping at it's worst.

I have a lot of american friends who arn't like certain groups in this dictionary, which is simpy, displaying the bad minorities of both our nations

peace people :)

british empire

the great british empire was unmatched for hundreds of years. They took india, much of africa, north america, parts of south america, hong kong and other parts of the far east, all of whales, and some of central america.

The british empire was like many befor it, rome, mongols, persians, and they all fell.

british accent

There is no such thing as a "British accent" - Britain is made up of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. There are literally hundreds of different accents spoken across the whole of the British Isles. The accent that people are most commonly referring to when they say "British accent" is an accent spoken in some parts of south east England.

The south east accent is the one most frequently heard outside of Britain in the media and in films (curse you Hugh Grant!) so people don’t really hear many different accents from across the British isles which has led to the stereotyping of the "British accent".

Hugh Grant, Austin Powers, that guy in Oceans 11 (Worse "british accent" impression EVER).

British

A word used to describe Irish people by Americans with inferiority complexes on XBox Live.

Irish: Alright what's the craic lads? (In heavy Irish accent)
American: SHUT UP YOU BRITISH FAG!
Irish: I'm Irish
American: Shut up you blutty wanker. Toodlepip Harry Potter. Cheerio. (Impression sounding more like Mary Poppins then anything ever heard in Ireland.)
Irish: I SAID I'M IRISH YOU DIRTY DYING BASTARD!
American: Oh sorry bro, me too.
Irish: Oh yeah, where's your family from?
American: ?

british

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!!!

Britishism Whore

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.

Riboflavin: this article is shit! *stamps foot* I said it was shit and it still is! Waaaaah! I'm gonna go WANK in my little Internet corner! * wangst wangst wangst*
Zuniga: Er...yeah...

British Petroleum

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.
