I’m not British, but we Canadians certainly do use many more Britishisms than you folks. I too have been reading a bunch of British authors the last few years, and have been picking up many more slang terms. I worry sometimes about the origins of such things - if I say someone “lost his rag” (became extremely angry),

Heeee! I iz ‘Murican. But I read a whole heapin helpin of books by you Brits and it done rub off on me. Just finished a stint of Anne Perry and Agatha Christie as well as Jane Austen. I love the derogatory term bint. It’s just so satisfying. I didn’t realize fell out wasn’t American slang though. Oh well. J’adour Mucky

Yes, ma’am, it is.

A-hem. Bint is Arabic, lad.

Jezebel, in a chiding, condescending tone, tells us that it shouldn’t be surprising that people can be more than one thing at the same time. In the same breath, it criticizes Sharon Stone for making that exact same observation.

“Fell out”? “Bint”? I thought you wuz a ‘murican, TBY. (Don’t get me wrong, I love it.)

Does she not understand that the only reason anyone pays attention to her is her dad?

Much like Bush the Lesser, she was born on third base and thinks she hit a triple.

I think it's telling for sure. Deep down, she knows if anyone is going to get the axe, it'll be her. She knows no one on that show will support her or threaten to leave too if she gets fired.

And yeah, very much like “If you don’t know who the drama llama in your friend group is? It you!” That’s how this works.

Who was her dad? It’s been about 30 seconds since the last time I was reminded...

Also, when Meghan McCain asks “should one of us leave?!?!?!” the answer is “uh, yeah.  Leave.”

I nearly fell out at that quote about there only having been one Asian host and should one of the current hosts leave so an Asian host can come on despite qualifications? BITCH? That Asian Host was Lisa Ling! An actual qualified, respected, award winning journalist and Waaaaay over qualified for this glorified

As a Canadian who doesn’t even speak French, I must say that the American struggle with basic French pronunciation rules is... something else. Touché pronounced “toosh”? Ma’am...

Excusez-moi?

Raised as a Jehovah’s Witness, her husband, who declined a request to be interviewed, was taught by his family to doubt much of modern medicine, Garcia said.

I hope this doesn’t sound petty, but the statistics will back me up: Ladies, do not fuck Republicans. It is literally averse to your health and safety.

This is conservatives writ large. They oppose social programs and then enjoy the benefits to society that such programs provide without acknowledging where those benefits are coming from . They “vote no and take the dough,” as Pelosi so eloquently put it.

Nothing more manly than relying on the rest of the community to do the heavy lifting for you.
