    As one of those teenagers (Sort of) I cannot stand teenager language. It's just annoying, and meaningless drivel.

    'Fag' actually has two slang meanings: Either in reference to a cigarette or as a derogatory term for a gay person.

    We now also have 'reem' from a television programme...

    Please play this in the background for my inspirational speech reading: Important as hell!

    Now with this playing, and a truly patriotic frame set it's time for my most impressive British patriotism to date.


    Patriotic SpeechWe speak the only true English in the world; so smurf off the lot of you!

    I think that covers it all

    If you little bitches don't like it go speak French. We never asked inferior colonial types like you to start tainting our glorious language with your uncultured tongues. Seriously. gtfo our language.

    It bloody well is. Good job!

    Also don't get me wrong folks, I do like American English too and have incorporated a lot of American phrases into my own speech. We're better together! My point is that when you try to call the original creators of the language weird, well, that's just a little bit silly. And when you twist an innocent word into a homophobic slur, well, methinks it's not the British who are the ones with the problem.

    But American English is closer to the English which evolved in the Renaissance and Early Modern period than British English is, which has deviated further in both spelling and pronunciation.

    British English isn't the weird English, it's the charming grandpa English.
    Australian English is the weird one.

    Pretty sure we're both guilty of bastardizing the language, we're just the bigger asshats about it.

    Huh, who knew? Well, I still think spellings and certain word meanings are as I said, but I concede the pronunciation point!

    Honestly it sounds more like a Scottish accent to me than anything. I should know; I dated a Scotswoman for close to three years.
