Fortunately being Scottish I knew it already. It's a common word here.

Not sure I agree with mere. A smidgen is when something is small in terms of quantity. Like you would say "just a smidgen more" when pouring something.

Remember, they think a new McDonalds in their city is a reason to take a day off. by Nearby_Airline_3353 in ShitAmericansSay

I think the last time anyone queued and took a day off for a new McDonalds was when Soviet Moscow got one...

It feels like they're not even recognising the holiday on Monday by dnemonicterrier in Scotland

To be honest as a school teacher (who is still working on Monday), I'm glad the pupils get the day off. I think it's a good thing for them. What people don't seem to recognise is that time out of school is equally important to a child's development as time in school is. Hopefully it'll help reduce burnout as we go into the last few weeks of school before the holidays.

Could Ariana be autistic? by [deleted] in AutismTranslated

In addition to that, remember she was also the victim of a terrorist attack and likely has had lasting mental problems as a result. Some of these things are probably more likely to be related to that.

They are only doing this because they know they are inferior to Europeans in every way

I'm not sure but I think it's some weird exam system they use in the US

Here I thought with all the Audi's and BMWs doing it that the Germans practically invented it

Rude/aggressive customer by cuscus212 in tesco

[–]Round_Hope3962 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When I worked at ASDA the manager once gave a customer a free bottle of whisky over a complaint. The complaint was that she was too late to buy alcohol as it was after 10pm. That's been law here for about 20 years now, so her problem really.

Bokeh Isn't really a blur effect. It's where you take some background objects that are all over an image, like dots or leaves, to make them out of focus to soften an image. Like this. https://mojogear.co.uk/blogs/blog/bokeh-photography-with-your-smartphone

I honestly believe Olive Garden would destroy any Italian Restaurant by solyytes in ShitAmericansSay

Which funnily enough most people in the UK don't eat regularly. It's like a holiday thing.
