Do you think the term "Yank" is derogatory?

    So is it okay to call you a lobsterback?

        I think that might have been meant for me and you posted to the wrong person. Fish and chips isn't an English thing. It's a Jewish thing and was introduced to us by Jewish migrants fleeing persecution in Europe.

        Also God doesn't damn me because he doesn't exist.

        I do quite like limes, though. :)

            Why have you wrote cum eater in apostrophes? Are you trying to imply that he isn't a cum eater, which as far as insults go that would be a rubbish one.

          Me and a friend introduced chip butties to a group of Swedish people when we were traveling round Europe, they thought it was a weird combination but after eating them they went crazy and started eating them everyday. I can't imagine not having a chippy round the corner, it's friday tea in my house.

            You can't beat a chip buttie! They've been my Saturday night tea for three weeks in a row now. Just a shame that muffin means something else to most of the rest of the world and a chip muffin is liable to be seen as a chocolate chip muffin. And I doubt there's many on IIN who know what a barm is.

            Kills me that there's about a hundred takeaways within walking distance of me and none of them is a traditional chippy. I really struggle to get chips that aren't french fries.

      It wouldn't bother me. I didn't even know what it meant until I looked it up. Although some people are saying that it wasn't said at the time and has been invented afterwards, which seems a bit odd. Also, some people really will be offended because it's a military reference to a conflict in which people died.

      In the same way the English and Irish could cause offence by using the term "black and tans".
