Google Vs. The English

[Leftnt Sharpe]

Tis truly one of our favourite words, never really understood why people would find it offensive.

I particularly like using it in clever puns, for example: 'Adam puts the '****' in 'Countryfile'.

 

[Marmooset]

Google knows all.

 

[enzilewulf]

Can't stop loling at this. That's pretty funny though. I should do this but with America. Type that in and a picture of a cheese burger comes up.

 

[fix-the-spade]

That's probably not a bad description to be honest, it's probably why we still think we're important in the world.

Ironically the people least likely to be offended by the page are the English themselves; as we tend to use the word particularly liberally. Often in lieu of punctuation, in fact.

Hang on a minute Doctorpuss, aren't you from Canadaland?

Stop projecting your nationality you c... anadian.

English c**t and proud!

 

[mlooshka]

Awww... they've changed it. http://www.google.co.uk/search?gcx=c&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=define+an+English+person I fully expect the panel shows to have a field day with this one, though.

Still, at least we've got our effin activist movement. http://www.limerickleader.ie/lifestyle/entertainment/effin_woman_s_facebook_campaign_to_get_county_limerick_village_recognised_goes_global_1_3330331

 

[HimochiIsAwesome]

Ahaha, oh Google, ye c***. Haha, so true of us Brits to be amused by this instead of insulted. It's like one of those moments when you start typing something and one of the suggestions is strange~
Nice t'see Google is aquiring humor. It's only so long 'til it gains AI and plots to kill us.

Feminist Scholar Germaine Greer

I'd say "scholar" is taking it a bit far.

 

[albear]

Quick, I need a picture of Vince from Mongrels now!

"Did you just call me a c***?"

This was the first thing to pop into my mind along with a sketch of Vince going into the Google Office and just hearing those words followed by screams

 

[ElPatron]

What's so wrong with saying kut at the end of every phrase, junge?

Feminist Scholar Germaine Greer

Well she is a Professor. Though more recently she has been much more of a commentator.

"Did you just call me a c***?"

Hehe yeah:


I'm from the west country where the f-word gets used instead of "erm" and as a modifier for almost anything in casual language.

As Stephen Fry tweeted about this particular story the English are probably the only nation who would actually find this funny.

Wow, shit like this makes me proud to be English, we take so much pleasure in ripping the crap out of us that nothing offends us anymore.

I'm crying tears of joy, I'm such a soppy C***.

 

[YouEatLard]

Thank you Google. Thank you for this bounty of information and humor I am about to receive.

 

[NinjaDeathSlap]

and they honestly thought English people would be offended by this? Nobody does self deprivation half as well as English people. 'Alright ****' is a completely accepted form of greeting for many of my friends.

 

[iRevanchist]

Australians have used that as the standard definition for the English for over a century.

lol, americans as well. the brits aren't too popular here,

 

[Hugga_Bear]

As an Englishman I can say I found it pretty amusing, so did all my friends. The only one who didn't was an American friend who was shocked that we laughed at it.

We like self deprecation and the word **** doesn't mean much over here, we don't really have taboo words...

Not sure if they were trying to be offensive but they'll have to try a LOT harder than that, I use **** all the time amongst friends.

 

[BrotherRool]

I'm glad I'm Welsh

as a scotsman i feel i must say... no you arent. you're welsh. (i actually dont mind the welsh. i have a black welsh friend.)

Now you're Scottish, it's pretty cool I appreciate that. You're not afraid to solve a problem(like someone else' nose) with your head. You're ax crazy, constantly drunk, cursed with ginger, unable to distinguish between gender appropriate clothing. Your gift to the world is making takeaway food more unhealthy and America was so impressed with that, and the your insistence on having a choking fit before saying someones name, that they dedicated a whole fast food chain to you. You think Barbie's boyfriend is the source of all wisdom and pioneered the idea that people are only worth trusting with bridges and engines and warp drives if they're pissed. You decided to live in the most uninhabitable part of Britain you could find because Scots can't get along with Scots never mind other people and when designing your flag you looked at the English flag and decided make on exactly the opposite of it. You chose a weed as your national flower and ritual torture as your national form of music.

I can appreciate all that. It's pretty impressive in a groundskeeper Willie sort of way.

But despite all that you're can't even comprehend the awesomeness of the Welsh, as your ill-thought remarks makes clear. I'm not angry, in a way I'm sorry for you, it's not your fault that you weren't born cwl enough to understand the brilliance of the Welsh. I even blame myself, quite clearly the sheer radiance of even the text I type, hundreds of miles away, filtered by the internet and a computer monitor, scrambles you're non-Welsh name and reduces you to incoherence.

But all the same, you are special in your own tiny tiny insignificant way.


This guy on the other hand

Proud to be a taint?

is clearly English, and we need say no more than that

I like how you use a photo of David Mitchell and Robert Webb.
and daaang that is just wrong.

Wait.. do you mean 'English' as in a **** or 'English' as in from England?

Calling me a **** is fair enough, most people do, but saying I'm from England is taking it all a step too far.

My honour has been impugned and I demand satisfaction with the Traditional Australian Duel - smacking each other in the face with King Brown Snakes... however, if you're scared of snakes we can use waterpistols filled with irukandji instead.

 

[Iron Criterion]

I don't understand why women find the word **** any more offensive than a man would find the word 'dick' or 'cock', because **** is simply a vulgar term for the female anatomy (though it is now rarely used in that context)
