You know how you can tell if a person is an economy size bag of douche? You may be surprised to learn that it's actually fairly simple. If they use foreign language terms to describe something that has a perfectly normal American name.

For instance, if you call your sedan a "saloon", you are a fucking asshole. Unless your car has a smoke filled poker game and a moldy spittoon in it, your car is not a saloon. Also, the hood is called a hood -- not a fucking bonnet. The trunk is a fucking trunk, not a "boot", and the letter "z" is pronounced "zee", not "zed".

Moving on, calling an ATM a "cash machine" is fucking retarded. Seriously, it's lame. Yes, cash does come out of it, and it does have some mechanized parts, but it's a goddamn ATM.

The worst part about the assholes who use these faggy terms is that they usually do so with the intention of drawing attention to themselves. Example: Grab the Stella-Artois from the boot. Oh, you don't understand? I meant the trunk, but since I studied abroad in England, I got used to calling it a boot, and now I like faggy beer. England is so much better than America -- they have better beer, hotter girls, and free healthcare!! no one pays for being sick like they do here in America. Europe is so much more progressive than America. Bullshit, douche-bag. And no, I don't want to hear about your study abroad semester. Some of us actually want to graduate on time, and not fritter away thousands of dollars in order to only take 3 semester hours.

This. Attention whoring; we all do it from time to time, but when they do it like this, it's pathetic. Also, you and I both well know its rarely THEIR money they're spending; its mommy and daddy's.

PS: for those of you who haven't noticed, after numerous instances of us pointing out poster George W. Bush's tendency to refer to things as if he were born and raised in England, he has now started to do pretty much everything from an English language perspective. Just warning you preemptively, in an attempt to save face from doing this exact thing PN just pointed out anymore than he already had, he is now intentionally trolling.

Who is Nubblies' biggest attention whore?

Mr. Blonde · 01-12-2009, 01:46 AM

I still stand by that poll being flawed.

Ok, I tried so hard I guess I'll just stop.

Sometimes sarcasm, even of the thickest varieties, doesn't get accross...

...didn't I already state that it did get across...? To ME? In the second post in this thread?

DJ FC · 01-12-2009, 04:12 AM

By Jove! What rubbish!

Repugnant Abomination · 01-12-2009, 12:10 PM

It's like Madonna living in England and suddenly speaking with a British accent.

I've dealt with this a lot, and it's irritating beyond belief. The worst is when one of your dumbass friends travels abroad and when they come back they act all high and mighty, pretending to be worldly, and the only way you can possibly understand is to travel to some dump in south east Asia yourself. I get it, traveling is cool and I hope to do some of my own soon, but acting like you're suddenly this cultured, cultivated person when we both know you aren't is a total douche bag move.

"Oh man, Burma was soooOOooo amazing...It totally opened my eyes and mind. I can't even believe I'm back in the states, it's totally surreal. You Americans are so funny and have such strange customs."

DDTempest · 01-12-2009, 12:31 PM

My favorite is people who studied abroad in England, way to take the cultural plunge there guys. What's next? Canada?

Ugly Bastard · 01-12-2009, 02:33 PM

Going anywhere for < 3 months and acting like you know it all about that place = uber-douche.

DJ FC · 01-12-2009, 04:33 PM

So you guys actually aren't talking about me!

I love every one of you!

While I agree about the douche-factor of culture worship, England does have WAY better beer*
