You Britkeks, do you hate it when foreigners use the words bloke, bloody, quid lads and mate?
>>
>>57463991
Yes. Only brits, aussies and kiwis can use those words.

They sound fucking retarded in any other accent.
>>
>>57463991
Only when yanks do it desu.
>>
>>57465191
This. Anyone else doing it is funny and charming. It's just obnoxious when American's do it.

>bloke
nah, if anything it's amusing

>bloody
if they're taking the piss, otherwise it just sounds weird coming from a foreigner

>quid
if they're talking about GBP that's fine

>lads
yeah, that's our thing tbf

>mate
aussies have massively stolen this, regular foreigners it just sounds like they're taking the piss
>>
I imitate ladspeak to piss off brits. Works fairly well.

>aussies have massively stolen this

we took that word and a lot of other lingo with us from the ships to be fair.

>aussies have massively stolen this

It's not our fault if yanks perpetrate a stereotype.
>>
Fuckin estate m8s, get your torch and reach 'round and get that light up yer arses and bloody find a few quid roight lads, fookin gahys.
>>
>>57463991
>bloke
I never hear anyone outside of the UK use this

>bloody
It depends on who use it. I know some Aussies, South Africans and a Kiwi and they all use it and it's fine. They know how to use it Americans and most Canadians can't pronounce it correctly so it sounds really weird

>quid
It sounds stupid coming from anyone who is just a tourist, but if a foreigner has lived in the UK for a while it's better

>lads
don't know any foreigners who say this. It usually sounds a bit weird coming from anyone who isn't a brit

>mate
same with bloody
>>
>>57463991

I don't mind at all, I like it in fact. Imitation is the highest form of flattery after all.
