I'm with everyone else here in saying what the fuck are you on about? America is actually far more of a culprit at being "cute" than the UK with their use of really over the top marketing to kids and their wide array of cutesy kids programs like The Muppets and Sesame Street.
Then again, American TV shows are far more likely to featured violence when watershed has come and gone so it kind of cancels out.
[sup]By the way, Sesame Street and The Muppets are awesome.[/sup]

Read it carefully, i'm not having a go at Americans, but just his method of british cuteness.conflictofinterests said:
He decided to genralize a whole nation over one word in one authors book, so i made that point just to show how unfair it was.
Honestly, Americans... so ignorant...
Honestly, man, the theoretical names you listed just sound really tired to me. When authors start throwing unnecessary apostrophes into their neologisms, I start losing connection with the book. And honestly, what's wrong with "Muggle?" It's quick, it's catchy, it's musical.
Hmm British cutness? I can't paint a picture of what that could be? Someone give me a picture example of british cuteness please...oh and no harry potter
Right guy I know your being ironic, fnaw fnaw fnaw, and all that but I actually do understand what hes talking about. Hes refering to the way all of our folklore sort of sounds "random in a simple sort of way". Like Brownies, Boggarts and Red Caps.Sizzle Montyjing said:Read it carefully, i'm not having a go at Americans, but just his method of british cuteness.conflictofinterests said:

I'm American and I'm fucking confused. What do they make cute? I mean, there's a lot of cute British girls, but that's just the same everywhere.
You just failed to grasp a British Comedy staple named 'irony'. Allow me to spell it out for you:conflictofinterests said:
He refuted the entire argument of the OP by satirically pointing out he was judging our entire culture by a single children's book, clearly the only thing of our modern culture his intellect could grasp.

Er... Whut? What the hell is cute about about our culture? A couple of names from what was originally a book for children?
No doubt it's been said before, but our culture is dark, cynical, sarcastic and drunk. If it's ever cute, we did it by accident or ironically.

seriously? we brits don't make anything cute, and harry potter is NOT a definitive way to round up british pop culture, that would be the shitty soaps like eastenders, or if you want british nerd culture then watch dr.who (actually, just watch dr who)
I'm British and I'll defend this man with our country's dog... the BRITISH BULLDOG!
Look at the cutesy wutesy doggywoggy!!

With the lack of sunshine, can anyone really blame them for being sad, miserable husks of human flesh? I don't think so.SillyBear said:
I wouldn't say "cuteness" but I think there's an endearing foreignness to a fair amount of British names for places. Places like Trafalgar Square, anything ending in -shire, etc. I'm sure British people would find American names (particularly those of indigenous origin) equally amusing.
And Welsh pretty much sounds like elvish, I'd never even heard the Welsh language until the whole brouhaha over AV and the patronizingly simple explanation video. I thought the Welsh are supposed to be rednecks, why to they get to be elves?
Your superlative use of irony once again is quite first rate. Please, I implore you, pat yourself on the back in my stead for the medium of the internet denies me that luxury.Sizzle Montyjing said:Read it carefully, i'm not having a go at Americans, but just his method of british cuteness.conflictofinterests said:

Coincidentally but to actually stay on topic I'd like to add that Space Marines are the epitome of British Cuteness.
