Oh, and before someone says “Woosh”, I did ask him if he was joking - twice.
So come on, Royjwood, a little more on your learned viewpoint that the english screw up most everything. Elaborate on how Britain has only two accents, and how everyone who isn’t a cockney sounds like a “snobby snot”. And generally just continue to be the entertaining little racist fuckwit you are. I always liked a laugh, and your Fucko the clown show is some funny shit.
As you are so familiar with Britain, it’s strengths and failings I’m sure you’ll be recognise the the late Peter Cook, when I call you a fucking stupid fucking cunt.
POME most commonly refers to prisoner of mother england. It was either on this board or snopes or both that actually debunked that theory. Still aussies and kiwi’s regularly refer to the english as Pomes. My friends from that part of the world often combine it into an endearment with pommy bastard
WOW!
I am enjoying this quite a bit.
As previously mentioned, it was never meant as racist. Living here in the land down under, I spend an awful lot of time with Kiwis, Aussies, and Brits. We enjoy a very friendly rivalry, usaully oriented more around sporting than anything else. None of the Brits here take any offense to the term pom or pommie, and usually have as much fun as the rest of us. But actually, the biggest rivalry is not America vs Britain, it is Australia vs Britain.
As such, we still carry on with our fun down here, and I hope that you someday learn to enjoy life, too.
But I will apologise if it did offend you, but that kind of supports my statement, anyway.
And also as previously mentioned, I love the cockney accent, I have found that the people I know with the cockney accent are much more fun to be around. However, how they can drink so much I will never understand. On their worst day, they can drink me under the table on my best day.
Anyway, cheers, I do not normally visit the Pit, as I enjoy more friendly debates.
royjwood when you says the “I have found that the people I know with the cockney accent” do you mean that they where born within hearing distance of the bells of St. Mary le Bow or that they just don’t sound like Hugh Grant?
Have you ever meet anyone from Liverpool, Birmingham, Essex etc.?
Ah. Hackneyed defence no 17 (in a long list of excuses for the thick). When caught making stupid remarks, claim it was all just a joke. Slight tip for you, fucko - twice you said you weren’t joking. Then when you get some heat, you change tune. You’ll excuse me if I wonder if you’re just talking shite.
Other tip. About this life business - I’m having a fucking whale of a time, and idiots like you just add to my daily amusement. For that, my thanks
Simple way to avoid the pit - don’t make stupid fucking remarks. As I recall, you said you were a Texan. You can imagine how it might offend you if I started to make sweeping remarks about how texans fuck everything up and sound like retards. You might also be able to imagine that you might not accept an “Hey, it was just a joke” as a legit excuse.
Can we have a quick head count of everyone who took offence to “Pom”? I know I don’t. From the other thread, your use of “Pom” was only mentioned by someone who wanted to know if you’d picked it up in Australia:
ie. Nobody actually complained about it. The accusation of racism was in reference to this from you:
May this Pommy bastard suggest that we all just ignore the troll. I predict that otherwise, the thread will just be:
Human: You said the Poms screwed up everything, that they sound like snotty nosed bastards, that you are not joking and that you can get more racist if we want. What do you say to that? Troll: Well, I don’t know anyone who is offended by the word “Pom”. Human: But that isn’t the point. I repeat, you said Poms screwed up everything and sound snotty. Troll: Well, I find that sport between Britain and Australia contains friendly rivalry. Human: Yes, but are you going to stand by your observations, or continue to dodge the point? Troll: I have many friends in Australia.
and so on and on.
Just ignore the little prick. My guess is that he puts on the anti-Brit thing in a feeble attempt to make friends in Oz.
Kumquat,
The Aussies and I have a lot of fun with accents, though. But admittedly, when it comes to international sporting, America really lags behind. Therefore, I have to avoid the sporting rivalries.
Being that I am not a snobby snot, I do not mind good natured joking, as I live with it every day of my life. If you prefer to be a like that, well, that is your own personal problem, not mine.
The reason I do not visit the Pit is I do not enjoy hateful attacks as much as I do friendly rivalries and debates. You will also note that I do not use profanity, especially directed towards another person. It is called courtesy and respect.
Anyway, you can take your angry little brainless head and pull it out of your smelly fat anus and try learning to enjoy life again.
Enjoy,
(Actually, thanks fo rstarting this thread, even though I will not be back, it has made for some amusing reading)
Got to admit, sirjamesp, my first thought was, “Oh god, someone trying to out-Australian the Australians…”
