Had a Brit get mad in my replies so I want to explain that this is (extremely mild!) ribbing. Barely a joke against people from the UK. Some of my favorite people are British! Bono, Hugh Jackman, the band the Barenaked Ladies, etc.

Very amusing. We are beside ourselves with laughter at your colonial wit, as are the Irish Bongo, Australian Mr Jackaroo, the … I consider my ribs duly tickled.

If you are genuinely mad, you can make some jokes about my country, Philadelphia, as payback.

We enjoy batteries and snow balls, sometimes batteries in snow balls. Go birds!

Look, you might be right and he's 16th, but I think that's too low. Right behind Jets legends Geno Smith and Sam Darnold is fair.

Just know that if you are feeling safe in the knowledge that people from Philadelphia are actually mostly sane and kind (which is true), I'm actually from Delco, a place of origin that has its own DSM entry that just says "do not engage."

I mean lol if you think he's "mad", he's just confused. 🤣 Your mad-o-meter needs recalibrating. (In the UK you can use or drop the indefinite article with eg hospital or school, both work because there's probably only one near you.)

Sorry, I meant angry. I get that British people don't know words good, I should have been more careful.

It's ok we can't expect you to use a proper full vocabulary like what we do. You're only a baby country.

Unfortunately yes, the Americas haven't had time to develop a culture like the British, who are surely only decades if not years away from developing an edible cuisine.

Steady on! We're busy concentrating on destroying our own infrastructure & rep at the moment, you can't expect us to prioritise silly issues like food, when we've done so well for hundreds of years, stealing everyone else's. Stick to your melted "cheese". When in doubt just add more.

Gosh. And to think that people say the septics have no sense of humour.
