... fuck yeah.

i like the words mate and rubbish both, a lot, but i refrain from using them for fear of people thinking i'm a crumplestiltskin

"Crumpling under the torment of my self hatred and my yearning to be all the things that i will never be, the tarnishment of my rubbish filled soul cramping my tiny feet into a ball of sweat and semen under which these dialectic motherfucking cunt suckers think they can get away with finding me under that same old apple tree that my frickin grandfather told me was his favorite tree as a kid."

you "could" care less? so that would mean that you don't actually care enough yet and you could care more lol.

Classic example of this situation and a American phrase I love.

 

I was cycling through Windsor one sunny day which gets a lot of tourists (summat to do with a castle and queen, of which I take no notice at all LoL) and there's this dude..er sorry chap with big thick bouncy blonde hair, sunglasses and a Fu Manchu (Calfornian stoner rock band) t-shirt on. Although at the time I didn't realise it, he must of been some USA west-coast/surfer/skater dude, cause as I go past him. I say something like 'Ah my good friend, Fu Manch what a fantastic band'. He just sort of starts swaying around like a monkey, does some sort of kung-fu shit pose while doing the 2 horned metal finger thing and just yells at me

 

''FUCKING A!''

 

Ahh, I thought an American. Brilliant.

i'm with keltoi... lets break it down.

 

ill. 1.) "i COULD care less". (us)

 

meaning: it is possible for me to care less. ie i care, even a small amount.

 

ill 2.) "i COULDN'T care less" (uk)

 

meaning : it is impossible for me to care any less because i just couldn't give a rat's fanny.

 

 

from where i stand, number one doesn't make much sense in the context it's normally used...UNLESS...

 

you say " i could care less, but it would be really difficult."... ie it would be an undertaking to care less because i care such an infinitessimal amount.

well that was my point "I could care less" would be used in a situation where you aren't really occupied with the matter, whereas "couldn't care less" means you dont give a shit about any of it.

I LOLed a little bit, but giving the heil salute....doesn't happen to often in 'Merica. Let's keep this somewhat accurate in our stereotypes (yes I know how silly that sounds)

US office is a completely different programme. They should have named it something else.

 

 

Agreed. I love the US office, but it is drastically different in humor and character from the British version....but then again....a generic name like "The Office" is pretty much satisfactory, combined with the fact that Gervais was very involved with the first season of the US version...at least to my knowledge.

good thread

 

 

 

would be great if you guys made americun/briteesh sounding replies in audio in stead of texts

 

 

would listen
