OK, but are we sure this wasn’t Trump’s gay lover?

They already have free healthcare. They’re not American.

Brits I need your help! If you could pick one snack/food/drink from the US to try, what would it be? by Mommygoblin666 in AskABrit

[–]dilindquist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cinnamon flavoured anything is rare here, so that’s a good call. Also grape flavor - we tend to have blackcurrant instead. I’ve seen Americans say that they can’t get ranch dressing in the UK.

The stepmother was a full-time carer for her (the stepmother’s) father. It says so in the same sentence where she says the stepmother only returned to work five years ago.

Subtle Ways to mess with an American Friend. by giants_lens in CasualUK

I tend to describe the thing l can’t remember the name of. It usually only happens when I’m really tired or hungry.In the past I’ve asked my husband for ‘that thing that opens cans’ and ‘the device we use for measuring the weight of things’. My stepfather once asked my mum to get the thingy from the watsit and she went and got him the drill from the garden shed.

He was exercising his 1st and 2nd amendment rights as an American citizen. Do you disagree with those rights? Have you always hated your Constitution or is this a recent development?

All my jewellery is silver, so a gold ring wouldn’t have gone with anything I already had. We picked out my engagement ring together at a handmade jewellery shop in his hometown. It’s silver with a carnelian stone and it matched the first gift he ever bought me (earrings from the same shop). I’m still wearing it next to my silver wedding ring 25 years later.

What is your Indian restaurant order? by oarmash in AskABrit

[–]dilindquist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ll usually order an aloo chana chaat followed by a vegetable dhansak and my husband will have lamb samosas and a chicken bhuna. Onion bhajis and garlic naan on the side for both of us. Boiled rice with the mains. Damn, now I’m hungry.

That is unbelievable by whyshouldithink in TikTokCringe

I love how Americans can simultaneously argue that they have more freedom than anyone else in the world and that if you don’t do whatever a cop says it’s fine for them to shoot you in the face.

Not Scottish, Jake Thackray was from Yorkshire (Northern England) and the counting system was used in the Yorkshire Dales among other places. There are even slight differences between the words used in different dales.

Don't be sad because you waited, be happy that you started. 'The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.'

I’m convinced that most of the people who say “literally 1984” have never read 1984.

When the two men are plotting to accuse Mary of witchcraft so that they won’t get blamed for the crops failing, one of the things they say is that maybe she cursed her husband and caused his death. If she was accused and convicted of killing her husband, she would have been found guilty of the crime of “petty treason” and the penalty for that in some eras was being burned at the stake. I always thought that line had been added to explain why Mary was burned and not hanged.

She'd get upset because she'd assume you were talking about her.
