words you love the most (1 Viewer)

i was talking to some chums of mine recently about how i had found myself ashamed to use the word "rashers" in public. Say i was in a shop, wanting a rasher sandwich, i always asked for a bacon sandwich. well, heres the reason

daft. from this day on, i vow to only ever ever ask for Rasher Sandwiches.
 
The term "west brit" fascinates me. Nobody know's what it really means, that wikipedia didn't even shed alotta light on the subject.

It's a good slag though.

doesn't it just mean 'too much anglo in your anglo-irish'? that's pretty much what the oxford english dictionary says.

It doesn't quite explain it for me though. Like, protestants aren't allowed to be west brits? Or are they all west brits because they're protestants?
If you speak Irish you're not west brit? But you could be a gealtacht nazi, which is quite like being a west brit. Is thumped west brit? It's all very confusing.

Like oh my Gawd dude, like you're all that and only 20 bucks! Psyched!
 
For some reason I've always had the view that West Brits were people like the rich people who live in the Burnaby estate in Greystones. I've no idea why though.

Another description could be the Irish people who benefited under British occupation back in the day.

i was just about to point out the self hatred thing too.

yeah, eh, back bacon, hockey and the Mackenzie brothers, eh? i hate myself, eh?

Wikipedia nonsense.
 
Isn't that a colloquialism? (formally: forecastle)

It's OK though, you can still love it.
