    Americans exist on a vocabulary of clipped sitcom one-liners and catchphrases from adverts.

    You don't even teach joined-up handwriting because the average American brain is so clogged with fat and sugar it can't comprehend language unless it is laid out so a toddler can read it.

    You can actually see them have a stroke when trying to read Shakespeare or anything written before 1900.

      it's really not said all the time because it's still a swear word and only children swear all the time.

      Although is it that much more sexist than the word bitch which Americans say all the time

    Good post. It's pretty funny seeing the British and Americans fighting in the comments.

      oi is way too aggressive for a casual conversation where they're already listening to you. It doesn't mean hello it's a rude way of getting someone's attention.

      Oi isn't "hello" it's "listen idiot"

    meanwhile the average white american says stuff like "yu brah, these shokes got totes stoked, godda jack the stack and split a goobie" or "dem dur cycliss c'n kiss m' hinder, mah bigg ohl truck dohn brayk for nu'nn"

    and let's not get started on strayans, kiwis or white sowt efrikens

    only ESLers speak decent english. i will also accept some native speakers such as jamaicans and kind-of native speakers such as nigerians and singaporeans. anglos should be forced to learn like high vallyrian on duolingo and then have to speak that for the rest of their lives

      Ok but that first example is almost entirely accent based, those are not word being made up. Its a different thing entirely

    The “United Kingdom” is not a legitimate state and should be dismantled, as should the notion of any such thing as a “British” ethnicity. That includes their nonsense slang.

    :ukkk:

    The “United States” is also not a legitimate state and should be dismantled, as should the notion of any such thing as an “American” ethnicity. That includes their nonsense slang.
