I find it amusing that the English feel they own the language. So what if American's use different terms, are you seriously that butthurt? That's like an American telling an Englishmen that he doesn't like how the Englishmen's teeth are crooked, or just look fucked. This just makes the English look like a bunch of douchebags.
no need to double post bro
Oi! Cawkney iz too English yer bugger!
Seriously though, we call what Mexicans speak LATIN AMERICAN Spanish. As opposed to Castillian ('Spanish' Spanish). Just like Portuguese v Brazilian Portuguese. Just like AmEng v BrEng.
I personally like the English strand better (even though my accent is American) because of the manifold ways to call somebody an idiot. Let's compare and contrast:
American English - Idiot, blueberry, jerk, asshole, douchebag, prick, dick, jackass, moron
British English - Idiot, blueberry, wanker, bugger, sod, tosser, wally, twat, twit, knob, cunt, douchebag, prick, moron, arse
Has another flavour, doesn't it?
I also LOL when Americans tell me I make spelling mistakes because I spell it 'colour' and 'centre'.
Same thing with the Portuguese in regards to the Brazilians, really. It's OUR language (even though personally, I think THEY make the most of it).
AFL (Australian sport) > Soccer
BLOOD, OH SHIT, OMG BLOOD, THAT'S REALLY GONNA CHANGE THE OUTCOME OF THE GAME, I RETRACT MY STATEMENT....................... j/k, I don't care about blood in a sport where the aim isn't to hurt someone, heck even blood in Wrasslin sucks at time.
If I wanna be excited about people bleeding, I will watch MMA or Boxing.
Yet another win for the greatest nation on Earth, England.
If you are gonna butcher the language, at least have the decency to call it 'American' and not 'English'.
Soccer is for people who can't take a hit.
Rugby is for people who can't beat their women anymore.
Pretty much what i got from this thread.
Fuck spelling and grammar, you Americans need to join the Metric System club. Trust me your table has been reserved.

Twat, cunt, douchebag and prick are on a higher level of insult than idiot in America. Try calling a girl a cunt here... they won't take it quite as well as if you just call them an idiot.

I know. I LOL whenever I mention someone's a twat and you all gasp in shock. But it's kind of mild here.
Cunt is indeed a bit stronger than the others, but I don't think douchebag and prick are particularly strong insults in the US either, are they? And they are not used all that much over here anyway.
