Ron,, from the Harry Potter series,: yuck, my mom sent me a mustardish sweater.
Harry: it's actually maroon, you can't properly see the colour, due to the lack of light.
To make a bastard doesn't necessarily have to refer to people. Giving a legitimate word a new meaning could be bastardising the word. Basically, it's butchering the English language. See orphaned. If you have an idea, and someone takes the idea, changes it around and gives it new meaning, that's bastardising. If you design a newsletter, for instance, and someone else takes over and keeps part of your design but applies elements that don't match up with yours, that's bastardising. You get the drift.
Henry, how do you like the newsletter now that Sue's been doing it for a year?
I'd like it better if she hadn't bastardised my design.
It probably pisses you guys off that the rest of the world hates you, but seeing as you only just found out that there actually IS a rest of the world (shock horror) and you barely know who they are, why does it matter, eh?
1. It's fucking JAG-YOU-ARE, not JAG-WAR. The brand is from fucking Britain. It's pronounced however the British pronounce it.
2. America has come pretty far, I think they sent a bloke to space in the 60s or something and have caused one hell of a lot of global warming. So you're right there.
3. Americans do have better oral hygiene, so you're right there too. You can be safe in that knowledge when you're driving around in your fucking stupid pickup truck with a unnecessarily big 7 litre V8 under the bonnet which uses more petrol to go 2 metres than the average British car uses to go 50 miles. The example has to include Bastardised English, so there it is.
A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing peecalculus.
