Europeans are right.
Europeans are not wrong.

If you can do a reasonably standard English accent, Americans will mentally add 20 IQ points to how intelligent they perceive you to be.
Unless it’s one of those incomprehensible accents that we can barely comprehend. It’s got to be an RP sounding accent for me to consider adding the IQ points.
I was explaining to an English friend how people speaking with a Texan accent seem stupider to Americans. She replied, “Yeah we think the same about people with an American accent.” I would have been offended, but like all Americans from the mid-Atlantic I don’t have an accent. 😉
Everyone has an accent.
She replied, “Yeah we think the same about people with an American accent.”
Dang, I heard this but with the Australian accent😆
I once met a woman that was in her late 20s. Worked in tech for 3 years in Prague, and had a pretty TV style British accent.
She was from the Midwest. Spent 3 years in Prague and visited the UK like 3 times, then moved back to Chicago. Insisted she “worked with a lot of Brits and it just stuck.”
Yeah, I’ve worked with a lot of tall people. Didn’t make me grow taller.
Yeah, I’ve worked with a lot of tall people. Didn’t make me grow taller.
You should have worked with small people. That works better.
I wonder where she worked in Prague without the job being in Czech
Tech or embassy
Tech she said, definitely wasn’t embassy. What embassy would have Americans and people from the UK working together?
She said she was in tech for some international company getting set up there. I can’t recall the name, but it wasn’t any company I recognized. This was also maybe 20 years ago she would have been there.
Are… are Brits the Americans of Europe???
Where do you think Americans learned to be so cultured?
Which Americans are we talking? Because a Yooper, Scots-Irish Appalachian, Cajun Louisianan, and some poor bastard from Baker California have little in common. Hell I’m a Southern Californian Redneck and frankly if I have to interact with my Northern Californian ilk I’m stabbing someone and dumping their corpse in an open mine shaft.
Yes.
All of them I think? The Anglo Saxon culture still dominates and founded the basis of American culture itself.
Even small countries like The Netherlands have loads of cultural differences, of course the US has that.
Doesn’t change the fact that we are all Dutch and you are all American’s.
America also has the weird thing that most of the stores and restaurants are chains apparantly. Or at least that is what most of the terminal online American’s want us to believe.
Edit: the basis in things like school systems, suburbs and angelo-saxton company “culture” also don’t help
I mean, Americans are a large and diverse group of people… But yes.
Yes, but at least we’re not the French.
An important point!
America’s founding was a bunch of British rejects and people deemed “too annoying for Europe”, along with their kidnapped, angry slaves.
Speak too loud? Get on the boat. Too religious? Get on the boat. Sold to us by West African slavers? Get on the boat.
How British people see British people
I am a total badass! :D golden.
God, I’m a bastard!
No you’re not… I think you’re actually quite nice…
They could be from the same British town
Came here to say this, our class system sucks balls.
How I want to see British people
Unfortunately it’s more like this
Unfortunately, it’s more like this
I lived in the UK for several years, this is definitely the most accurate picture of this thread!
Chavs or posh and no in between. I am American and this is what I learned in social studies.
Nor but, yah but, nor
Computer says no
That one.
In addition to his other talents, this dude has some pipes. He killed it in the 25th anniversary of Les Mis on PBS, a production marred by casting a Jonas brother in an important part, but Matt Lucas was awesome as one of the innkeepers.
CAM ON INGERLAND
SCOR SUM FACKIN GOOLS
*Meanwhile in Germany*
EINS ZWEI POLIZEI
Meanwhile in Magaluf
Both are correct.
Why are there so many pictures of the specific guy on the bottom used when making fun of the UK? Is he a celebrity or influencer I’m unaware of?
Nah. That’s just you seeing a bunch of different people while thinking all Brits look alike.
So like… The US of Europe?
Something something apple, tree…
Something something shit, asshole…
Almost, they know how to queue.
You mean bri’ish people.
I’m curious, what accent is that ment to be?
Somewhere between Liverpool and London. Definitely not any northern or western of that.
I do have to defend the Scottish here.
How so?
With fire and trebuchets. Duh.
FREEEDOM!
To be fair, yes - I found the Scottish more approachable so far :)
Gotta be more specific. Scot, Irish, English or Welsh?
The Irish aren’t British.

Why is the egg NSFW and should we be concerned?
They have a hobby: they get drunk and jump off their hotels’ balconies trying to land in the pool with different degrees of success.
