The British have slang words, as we do, but it was fun.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I'm in the U.K. I find myself using a lot of Britishisms.
It was just us lampooning our own peer group, saying, well hey, where did this stuff come from? And where does British guys get to be so good at it suddenly?
The British are so funny.
When I go home to England, my friends all make fun of me for sounding American.
I write in American slang.
As always, the British especially shudder at the latest American vulgarity, and then they embrace it with enthusiasm two years later.
I grew up watching British comedy on TV, really.
I love British humor. It's just so - surreal.
I found a great book called 'Slang Through the Ages' by Jonathon Green. It's basically a thesaurus of historical slang, and had lots of great old uses.
Slang is a language that rolls up its sleeves, spits on its hands and goes to work.
