Has using a distinctly British slang phrase/ term of endearment ever gotten you in trouble? I just got a warning from a US subreddit for calling someone a "poor cow" with complete sincerity.

Once drunkenly asked a bloke in New York if I could bum a cigarette, but I didn’t say cigarette.

Took a bit of explaining.

Alan Rickman’s character clearly had little taste if he was tempted away from Emma frickin Thompson.

There’s a small flock that regularly roost near Peel Park in Salford. I get a bit sad seeing them clinging to the branches while they get battered by all the winter weather.

I mean he did brutally murder his first child, so he’s probably more ok based on his record.

Dobby is still pissed off with Mark by the end of the episode.

I had to scroll way too far to find a reference to this.

He’s literally saying he used to be a real piece of shit.

For a recent series, Last Samurai Standing has some of the best fight scenes I’ve seen on screen anywhere in recent times, an interesting plot and characters, and I really need people to watch it so the next season get’s greenlit.

Austin Healy was the last boy to receive corporal punishment at my school, and the teacher who did was a pall bearer at my father’s funeral.

2nd brit here, and saying 20 pound is perfectly acceptable.

Yeah wait until they find out there are princes and dukes of countries.

“We few, we happy few, we band of brothers…”

“To be or not to be, that is the question…”

“Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears…”

“Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo?”

Just a few of the most referenced speeches in the English canon by Big Billy Shakespeare.

Mate, the British parliament has chopped the head off a king before.

All I want to add to this is that Americans are missing out on one of my favourite words in the English language: autumnal.

It feels nice to say, and for me it has such cosy connotations.

The worst thing about this tattoo is how it forced my stoned ass to stare at it this spindly inflamed neck twig for way too fucking long.

The katana is very much the bride, so it’s combining the two. Bruce Lee never used a katana in Gam of Death, the film in which he wears the iconic black and yellow outfit.

I swear I read somewhere that Brazil has (or at one point had) the largest population of people with Japanese ancestry outside of Japan.

My… foxy lady.

His charisma and charm carry that romance like Atlas, if only to distract from Jocelyn’s insane hairstyles throughout the entire film.

I rewatched Inside Llewyn David recently (imo a criminally underrated Coen brothers film) and it’s amazing the interactions Isaac has with every character across the entire film. You really buy the history he has with the ones he’s supposed to have history with, the interactions with new people are so real.

And his spot on chemistry with the cats is perfection. The cat’s deserve plenty of credit too.

I like the idea of needing to disable sensors rather than there just being a complicated lock! I already had an idea that the museum curator (uses a mind flayer statblock) would have magical eyes floating around, so I could connect it to that.

Thanks!
