JCC do normal british people refer to the atlantic ocean as "the pond"?

or is it just **** that do it, as it is here in the united states?

 

Why do the mods allow proliferation of threads properly reserved for Ender Sai's continuing crusade against Amurica. It's as bad as Christposting outside the Thunderdome.

 

Who in the US refers to the Atlantic as the pond? Well, besides news anchors but I think they are trying to be charming, no one does that in everyday conversation.

 

I have a co-worker who calls me "The Ambassador from across the Pond".

 

Yes, the normal Brits do this.

 

really? well nice to see common stupidity is still alive and well.

 

I hear it at least twice a day. Not cool.

 

Wait.

There are normal Brits?

 

I do sometimes, but only in the phrase "across the pond."

 

Yes. Ender.

 

He's not a Brit... he;s an Aussie, with a boner for Brits.

 

I think you're confusing him with jp.

 

Nah.... jp's a sheep-shaggin' Kiwi.

 

I thought he was a New Yorker?

 

So he's a teaboo.

 

yeah the mods changed my original post and made it kind of nonsenseical, but originally it stated that only female hygiene implements use it here, and i was basically wondering if its actually more common over there or if its just the female hygiene implements there too. a confederacy of female hygiene implements, if you will

that would be one of the aforementioned "female hygiene implements". you should "do a poo" in their desk

no that's Mr44

 

I think he lives in Chicago, or something.

 

I am a proper Brit. I have used the term many times. As do many people I know.

 

Proper, but he wanted to know about normal.

 

yyyyyeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhhh...

 

You wouldn't know a normal Brit, Paulie.

 

I know you. You aint normal, boy.

 

yyyyyeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhhh...

 

I know you aint normal.

 

I never realized until today that 'across the pond' could be so divisive, worthy of ridicule.
