Death to the Regressives of the GOP and the TeaParty. No mercy for Conservatives. Burn them all at the stake for the hateful satanists they are.

Do us Yanks use too many British terms? imlad - 24/10/2012 03:28:53 AM 1065 Views
I use very few of those terms and thankfully, I'm not a "Yank" or "Yankee" Larry - 24/10/2012 03:46:40 AM 847 Views
I use "bloody" because I've read WoT for years. Dannymac - 24/10/2012 04:41:31 AM 838 Views

It' called football. You silly americans and your handegg! *NM* Bergioyn - 24/10/2012 07:32:47 AM 420 Views
There is no disputing that our use of the word football is total nonsense *NM* Narg - 24/10/2012 07:48:46 AM 384 Views
I may be wrong, but I believe it's called a football because it's 12-inches long. Gher - 25/10/2012 07:15:28 PM 901 Views
Using a non-Metric system of measurement is total nonsense. Bergioyn - 25/10/2012 07:51:27 PM 787 Views
How can you say that?! Gher - 25/10/2012 08:40:20 PM 879 Views
I'm an evil European. Bergioyn - 26/10/2012 04:20:57 PM 874 Views
I don't think so. Has to do with its historical origins in rugby football. *NM* Legolas - 25/10/2012 09:17:20 PM 341 Views
Regulation balls are shorter than that, and "gridiron" is an unambiguous international term. Joel - 26/10/2012 11:41:18 PM 774 Views

Bad example. Sheep is both a singular and plural noun. *NM* Narg - 24/10/2012 02:47:34 PM 334 Views
That may be the problem. Joel - 27/10/2012 12:00:49 AM 797 Views

You all need to include some Irish-isms into your daily speech. Stephen - 24/10/2012 08:26:30 AM 895 Views

Affectation almost inherently reflects trying too hard, and imitation is unoriginal. Joel - 27/10/2012 12:10:52 AM 809 Views
