our fish sticks are breaded

not the same thing though, but probably the same thing (or very similar) to fish fingers.

We fuck everything up.

We can't even name our sports correctly!

"'Urb!" as they say (particularly those that find glottle useage offensive somehow ive found).

You dont even name your sock puppets correctly!


...and I mean YOUR sock puppets. Weirdo! :D

Anyways, I havent had the luxury of travelling much since my teens, but I can relate a small tale from an ex. She was originally from the USA, but spent years moving about (internationally) due to her dads work. Of course when she came to the UK for University she was already fair acclimatised, and willing to take things in.

She was horribly disappointed with Rugby though. Knowing that US "football" is a similar thing, but rugby is unpadded and generally considered to be a bit more brutal, she was aghast. She was really expecting more punch ups, blood etc.

The impression she gave me was that she though of it like some kind of thunderdome experience. of course, I cant talk for her, but its a story to add to the thread.

This is the only American pop culture reference to rugby that I know: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31iUDm6iSrw

Brutal and hilarious.

P.S. for non-Youtubers: It's Friends rugby episode.

surprised ive not seen this before.

It's called Surimi (sticks) over here...

I believe the OP requested you to cease and desist from these sort of posts, and I'm pretty sure that most of the other people in here would back him on that. They are killing a fun, cooperative, and civil thread, something that is becoming kind of rare in here. So please stop.

Thank you

mxu86es (just above me) is a spammer.

I have another one. One caveat is that a workmate told me this one.

You know how Native Americans sort of sing and slap their mouth? I can't find a reference video because I have no idea what it's called.

Sing a solid note and then slap your lips several times and you'll get the picture.

It's in old Westerns and whatnot.

So at a powwow, there was this teenage kid who was being obnoxious and rude during a dancing ritual. It got to the point that one of the elders asked the child and his family to leave. The parents were upset, but obeyed.

While they turned to leave, the kid does the little mouth slapping thing in a rather condescending way. The elder approached the boy and said "Wait. Wait just a minute. I don't want you to leave feeling so ignorant. What you just told me is that you are sexually attracted to me. Is that how you feel? You see, what is on the movies is not what our culture is. But if you stop, watch, and listen, you can learn a thing or two. But not today. It's time to leave."

that's what they get for not voting in le pen

That's seriously what that mouth slapping thing means? I bet that kid felt like a moron after he found that out.

Well, when the choice is between pest and cholera...

Funny that you didn't say that to xa_chan, who was actually the first one to attack.
Wow! Good to know that this gesture/sound is actually about wooing and not a battlecry.

But again, with all I know about US media, I'm not surprised.
