    Default "Speak English, not whatever they speak in, uh..." "...England?"

    When I visited my older sis in London last summer, I heard a guy asking antoher guy if he wanted to "smoke a fag". I got a little nervous, but then realized where I was.

    Let's talk about how everybody agrees on the fact that British is a weird branch of English.

    Teenager English is by far the strangest and saddest, tbh.

    Fag=cig is indeed the strangest from them Brits.

    I was shocked in chat the other week when I found out that Americans and Brits both didn't know what a wristy was.

    It's true. Spotted Dick is quite a favourite over here.

    We invented the language and we have the pure form of it. The rest of you are the weirdos.

    You sure like to bring this up a lot and get offended by it!

    I guess since I've been talking to English people since I was 15 years old, I don't really notice it, and I even use British words/slang when I talk. Every once in awhile someone will say something that will make me go, "Huh?" But usually I can figure out what it means by context.

    Spotted dick...smoking a fag... yes, definitely had to stop there for a second, lol!

    I had a British classmate who had the cutest accent... LOVED the way she said "strawberries." AMAZING.

    I think someone typo'ed "the best" as "weird" in this thread title. I should fix that.
