I’m in the UK. How do you offend them?

Refuse the tea?
Make jokes about the queen?
Mock the accent?
Pronounce Nike as Ni-key

Anything you like EXCEPT making jokes about the Queen. We make fun of everyone. And why would you refuse tea???
@VSonMe I would rather shit in my hands and clap than drink tea 🤮
VSonMe · 56-60, M
Oh, if I saw that I would assume you were making an ironic statement about American food.

Depends where in the UK you are I guess
SAandME · 56-60, M
Nah, we mock our own accents, mock our royal family and drink more coffee than tea these days. The best way to offend us is by ruining our language so speaking and/or writing in American will work just fine ☺
@SAandME it’s funny that you all like to bring up that we ruined the language because the American variation is closer to the original sixteenth century version.....and not the British variation
SAandME · 56-60, M
@Freudianslip13 Yeah but we have moved on, nothing in life stands still well apart from the American variation of English it would seem. ☺
VSonMe · 56-60, M
@Freudianslip13 That's not universally true. I think the accent of Tangier Island in the Chesapeake Bay is closest to the English of Shakespeare's day. I saw that in a documentary on language and I've always remembered it.

And, of course, English is slightly older than the 16th century :) So you can't say ORIGINAL 16th century version.
I'm sure you'll find a way.
Call them a scouser
Are you trying to perfect offense or avoud it?
@Mamapolo2016 perfect it
