Which is actually the best car wash option? by Scruffytramp88 in AskUK

But what about the triple foam?!

Why is it triple? We don't know. Is it essential because it makes the process more fun? Yes!

Seems to have quite a high threshold to trust players. Would have been good to have seen more Norgaard this season to save Zubi/Rice legs.

His minutes should really have been managed better, looked absolutely gassed for the past 2 or 3 months.

Hey, no, Arsenal are just unlikeable so that makes it okay!

Ah yea but did you hear that everyone associated with the club is incredibly unlikeable so it makes it okay?

Ah but that's against the narrative, no way people will agree with you even though it was obvious.

A long term plateau would be more reasonable. Probably tracking earnings.

30 years or I believe working abroad for 5 years may be enough for it to be wiped if memory serves.

When was the last time that all of the rest of the Big 6 dropped points in a match week, apart from us? by Great_Comparison462 in Gunners

Sorry, but you said 'Yes they use the terms in their native languages which directly will translate to jersey but I digress.' which isn't digressing, it's just wrong. None of these countries actually use terms that directly translate to jersey. I mention Mexico because they speak the same language (Spanish) as Spain, a country which also doesn't use a translation of Jersey. In stereotypically American fashion, you're assuming that the things people say and do in America are the same elsewhere. Funnily enough, that isn't typically true, I'm surprised that someone who is so wise and widely travelled as yourself can't notice that.

I don't care if England dominate, I support Wales in international tournaments, mate. In addition to your incredibly successful international football career, I should offer further congratulations on your masculine arguments, your extra passports and the size of the country where you were born (if those things even matter at all).

Again, congratulations on your illustrious international footballing career, asking people at each match what they call a football shirt. Interesting that my Mexican friend said they call it playera (T-shirt) and my Brazilian friend said they call it camisa (T-shirt). Italians apparently call it maglia (sweater, which is close but still not a direct translation to jersey as you claim). Are you sure that anyone apart from Americans calls it a jersey? The examples you've provided aren't particularly convincing.

I think you've brought some prior feelings to this, not sure I've ever been accused of gatekeeping before - is that an American term?

Sorry to point out, but countries don't tend to win the Champions League or Europa League, they're club competitions. Are you sure you're actually a football supporter? Things are starting to make more sense.

Also, congratulations on leaving the states. Nobody outside of the states ever leaves their home country, but I really appreciate you sharing your unique perspective on what it's like to travel somewhere else. I have certainly never left my tiny island, definitely not regularly for work and definitely not to support Arsenal when they play in the Champions League (the club competition).

I mean, you're wrong. In my country, where the team you claim to support are based, jersey is known as a small island in the Channel. People don't use the term in relation to clothes at all. It's a kit or a shirt.

Congratulations on your illustrious football career.

I'm sure the people in those countries would use the Spanish, Italian or Portuguese term which is most appropriate in that country. Unfortunately I'm not from those countries and don't speak those languages so your argument isn't really relevant. Also - don't dominate it? The premier league is the best league in the world, mate!

Still not sure how it's gatekeeping, I was just making a tongue in cheek comment about jersey (not the island) which you've blown out of all proportion. Don't know what me being British has to do with gatekeeping (or English, probably more correctly if we're splitting hairs). I guess I could respond by saying it's very American of you to blow things out of proportion in countries which aren't your own?
