Is the only insult that Americans have for the British is the 'teeth' thing?

Question

Have they completely taken leave of their senses?

To I am Bootiful.... please look at your own answer before insulting other users grammar. I am writing a question, not a novel. So please remove your head from your bottom.

Answer 1

no they also mention your mum as if it is meant to really bother you and the war of independence...where they dont seem to realise they would have got there arses kicked if it hadnt been for the maddness of king goerge...oh that reminds me...they also like to poke fun at the queen to try and get a reaction

Answer 2

Please understand, I do not have a problem with the British (as long as we leave out any mention of Northern Ireland)
I in fact lived in europe for 6 years, and wish I could go back.

But, since you asked:

There's also the "ears" thing, the "stunted and sexually bland" thing, old Dr. Who special FX (although the stories can be masterful once you give them a chance) , the Spice Girls, the "we have Beckham" thing, the "bland food" thing, the "fallen empire" thing (although our bloated, McDonalds binging arses will not be laughing for long on that one, friend), the "let smoke a f.a.g." thing (I didn't say we were'nt juvenile, either), the "Faukland Islands War" thing (I mean OMG what the hell was that all about!?! It made Grenada look like, no wait Grenada was dumb too)

at least your cops carry guns now

cheers mate, I hope you know this was in good fun, and my insult on my own people would take up far more space

wait, wait I just read FIRE §'s comments and you win! There are americans who think we beat you in the civil war, we have lost our senses! God, I wonder if Madonna or Johnny Depp need a houseboy

Answer 3

Americans are smart and funny people, although because they have a much larger population than the UK have problems on a larger scale. English people are arrogant (as you sound) and full of their own self importance, and have bed teeth. Have you driven through English towns and cities? They are dumps! It rains all the time in the UK and everything costs too much, with very little actual value. When you make statements like the above you sound stupid, it's as if you believe the peanuts you have really, really couldn't get any better. You should get out your country more (not to Spain as the rest of England does, show some imagination!). Oh I'm British too.

Answer 4

It's so true, it's quite worrying really. Being British and having perfect white, straight teeth - I really think Americans that use it are insane thinking it's an insult. Then again they could be living in the past (pre 1970s) which also has it's own consequences! The only other insult they have is against our politics - and from what I see of our dear country most of us disagree there too!

Remember, though, they are American, be gentle with them, they don't often leave their own country, let alone their own state (before they start the ranting - it's a known fact a lot of Americans don't have passports) :o)

Answer 5

I am an- American, I have had Austrailian freinds and a few Bittians that were freinds. I think most of the women are very sexy and have that walk. Anyway, there very good partiers! the teeth is not what i would say that would bother me! Its there Men! They have a very narrow minded way of thinking. They think everyone else is wrong but them! There selfish and americans are atleast open minded enough to know when we make a mistake or dont have all the answers. Back too those brittish women. They kiss very good! Thanks for those memmories...

Answer 6

Well, we get tired of the in-fighting with our cousins, but the whole world is against us, so who else do we have to joke around with?
Seriously, you guys have pretty jacked up food also, but that's a matter for another rant. After all, you did bring us The Clash and Triumph motorcycles... So we're not really hating on you, just kidding the way family members do.

Answer 7

I to am an American and I dont have any brittish jokes either nor have I ever heard of any. I think you all are just paranoid. Trust me we have better things to do than make fun of your teeth. Most of us could care less about what you all look like. If your getting your information from tabloids then trust me when i say that it is not true. Most of us Americans are just worried about our own lives, bills, and our children. You all must have a problem with us, we have no problems with you.

Answer 8

No offense but Americans do have more.
I have heard Fish n Chips jokes. Making fun of the royal guard. We kicked your butt in the civil war.

but where do you get off that we lost are senses Are you telling me that the great British empire hasn't made fun of us.
You make fun about how we speak just as much as we do you. I have seen quite a few British comedies that portray Americans has backwards hicks.

Answer 9

No, don't forget they saved our sorry butts in WW2 ... (yawn)

Seriously, the teeth thing is an interesting cultural difference. And Austin Powers didn't help, incidentally.....

I honestly think that if an American employer was interviewing 2 candidates , and he couldn't choose between them, he'd go for one with the nicest teeth. It's THAT serious an issue for them.

Answer 10

Hah! I just heard a song about the British and the teeth thing. Not sure of the name, but had something about hot Carl academy!

Answer 11

We make fun of English Soccer (football) Hooligans.

And I think buying Beckham for a quarter of a Billion dollars and shoving him into a third rate team is a pretty big insult in itself.


And yes we have taken leave of our senses, We voted for Bush.
Twice.

Be free to make fun of us on that, and being Fat. Uneducated. Uncultured. and a whole bunch of other dubious distinction. We deserve it.
