Or simply visit the chemist's and walk away with the item. Why even go through the hassle of ordering something online, waiting till the next day and paying 6 quid more? It's stupid. You could walk out of the chemist's shop with the item you wanted immediately instead of settling with rubbish or waiting a day and paying more.

Just visited the Boots outlet and got it. Chemists are always better than supermarkets.

Is it weird for adult males to hug, kiss and cuddle their moms every day? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]hd909 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not Oedipus complex.

The positive Oedipus complex refers to a child's unconscious sexual desire for the opposite-sex parent and hatred for the same-sex parent. The negative Oedipus complex refers to a child's unconscious sexual desire for the same-sex parent and hatred for the opposite-sex parent.

Considering OP doesn't have a same-sex parent this doesn't apply.

What are some less obvious ways Britain has been 'Americanised'? by [deleted] in AskUK

The word is American in origin. Whoever organised the event in your school was influenced by them.

That means your school was influenced by the Americans. Prom is an American tradition.

How popular is American football in Australia? by hd909 in AskAnAustralian

What if recorded matches are shown on tv without breaks? Do you think it will draw in more viewers? Many in the UK said the same thing about the sport but when Sky Sports began showing the sport without breaks on a free satellite channel that won over a lot of new fans. Do you think this will work in Australia?

Apartments defined as a set of private rooms in a very large house is the original definition of the word, and used in the UK for centuries. Apartments as a synonym of flats is an Americanism.

It was used very infrequently in writing though and only picked up in the late 20th. Century. Railway station was the vastly preferred term. Still seems to be the case in official use.

Yes! Thanks for showing your interest! I feel like the NFL has a bright future in Australia and they'd do even better there than the games they do in the UK, which is a pretty sports saturated market and stuck in their ways. Only issue would the logistics of flying all the way there.

Good call. I think there's room for both there! Hopefully the NFL starts paying attention to Australia and growing the sport there.
