British Greetings

Come on, calm down brother. Are you my nigga? Are we niggas? Suck my balls and call me Kevin!

 

Would it be acceptable to walk down a street in London and say ay lick me **** ya gobby wee fuckers?

 

Very hateful

 

she might be right though

 

Well technically I'm sure all of us at some point have indulged in the sin of Onan...

 

Yes! I do believe it would.


My greeting is usually..."hey up man", pronounced 'ey up foo'.

 

If you want to progress the word to something that isn't offensive, wouldn't it be better to call a black person a '******'? How is the meaning of the word going to change to something that isn't offensive if you only use it around people who you think are 'comfortable' with it?

 

I hate this thread

 

i agree with nay. what the fuck was that all about man and people say am offensive twats.......h e l l o is a nice british greeting or fuck off ...........dear oh dear

 

I don't find you offensive Paul, just well funny mate

I'm bored of having to read ****** every other post, fuck sake.

 

People can say what they want but none of this is what i intended the thread for

I'm just going along with it now...cuntscab.

 

Threads "derailing" like this and drifting off into discussions about really interesting subjects like this is part of the fun as far as I'm concerned, and why I love this forum

 

Yeah I know, but you guys are all boring english shit dipping goat fuckers.

 

Yeah, you English twats!

 

Toilet mouth.

 

we call that potty mouth over here. toilets are dirty.

 

To get back to what you were asking originally then, "Not bad" to me is kinda like saying, 'well nothing's wrong exactly, but I'm not as cheery as usual for some reason'. But I reckon for the most part people just interpret not bad as good.

When asked how I am I tend to go with one of these options; Ah, not too great actually...Not bad...Good thanks...I'm canny..or..Champion!

And I use a whole bunch of 'hello' type greetings. Hi, Yo, Howdy, Sup, Hallo, A-hoy-hoy...

(But aye, I also like the derailments)

 

We either say Hi or Hello. If we know that person we are more like to say good morning or good afternoon. In terms of etiquette, we have none. it vanished midway through the 20th century. I suppose American stereotypical views of us Brits is quite dated now. We are not as posh as Victorians and we are very much like America. The only difference between America and the UK, we are not far out or very lively. We are reserved, thoughtful and somewhat futuristic. America don't have Digital tv but we do I guess because American TV has more lines than the UK, it wasn't possible. Guess Futurama is like a vision of what America dream of. Call it American Dream.

 

How about we just change it to the redneck thread, since Nig's been used at least 50 times already.
Want us exotic people to wear some chains and row your boats for you too?

 

we have digital tv, what are you talking about?

and i have met very few reserved and un-lively people here, and i'd say a few of you are throwbacks.
