Get the Britishism mug.1) Uselessly adding silent letters to words to make them look more classier, despite that it's been out of style since the 18th century. Also, a British equivalent of an American made word.
2) A British invention that required American integrity to become effective.

Get the Britishism mug.Anyone who doesn't live in England who constantly tosses common Britishisms into their chat, Live Journal, comments ect. in attempt to make themselves appear much more worldly than they actually are. ANY American who uses the words bollocks, wanker, arse, snarky and ruddy when they've never set foot outside of their beloved Wisconsin/New Jersey, much less the United States. A Britishism Whore will more likly than not write in their LJ about the ROW they had with one of their ex MATES when she requested a change in the foremat to something more readable, "...but the RUDDY COW couldn't be ARSED to do it! She was being a RUDDY COW, FULL STOP!!!"
Potter Heads, Lord Of The Rings fans, some stray Emo kids and a surprising amount of Mods are guilty of being Britishism Whores. This special breed of whore incites allot of ammusement from those who can see right through them (everyone).

Raboflavin went apeshit over the use of "Britishism Whore" and promptly deleted it because it was too revealing of her true whore-y identity.

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.

Get the Britishism Whore mug.1) A Britishism, Adj. The correct, though often counter-intuitive, spelling of a word in English that is widely misspelt in the United State’s version of the English language.
2) A Britishism, Adj. The correct, though again admittedly counter-intuitive, pronunciation of certain words that are expressed differently in the States: due to the deviation of evolution in our separate linguistic developments (or lack thereof). Some scholars believe that certain American dialects are closer to the original forms of English than those currently spoken in England, largely due to the xenophobic nature of a nation afraid of change. Other scholars disagree. Others simply do not care.
3)Briticism, noun. The view taken of Britain by America, through the distorting lens of U.S. pop-media in film and television, designed to demonise British people and make them appear more threatening than they probably are.
It is similar to Said’s theory of Orientalism, except America has yet to declare war on Britain, so it doesn’t bother the British nearly as much as Orientalism probably bothers people in the Middle East.
To be fair, the Brits are responsible for an incalculable number of atrocities; we did have the largest Empire the world has ever seen after all; now all we have is a testimony to that fact in the Guinness Book of Records, an incompetent government, and a healthy dose of national cynicism.

1) Britishism, Briticism: Americans insist on replacing "s" with "z" at every available opportunity. There are many other examples, this is just the most annoying.
2) Britishism, Briticism: Lieutenant I believe is spelt correctly in the U.S. but it’s pronounced “Left-tenant”: L-E-F-T, get it?
3) Briticism: The Patriot was an awful film, also pretty inaccurate; it cast us Brits in a pretty demonic light, when really both sides did some pretty unpleasant things. You did destroy our tea, and that is simply not done.
Too many others to list, but we're always the bad guys, it's probably our own fault for being so horrible.
I don't get the paradoxical nature of your notions that we are "limeys" and the aspersions you cast on our dental health. The sailors used to suck limes to avoid scurvy which is essentially a horrible gum disease, is it not? Plus in modern terms, our free dental care system on the NHS beats the hell out of your sinister Insurance system. American prejudice is surely harming America as much as it harms the world at large.
