In fact, after a while it becomes almost endearing to be called a Limey or something similar!

If we ever meet, you'll hear the difference. My accent is Geordie, and his is an incomprehensible mumble that sometimes disappears into the realms of audibility that only dogs can hear.

That's someone who's looking for traffic for the ol' Hershey Highway... Someone seeking visitors to Brown Town... Someone who wants you to push in their stool for them (even when you're not out to dinner)... Someone who, when they say "ream", is not talking about a box of paper... Someone who doesn't consider cymbals an integral part of a rim-shot... Someone who considers corn on the cob to be a sexual aid...

This also applies to Scouse .. I don't think you can write of the difference, it just has to be heard. Luckily I'm conversationally fluent in Geordie since one of my mates at uni was from Newcastle.

That reminds me - my ex-wife had a high pitch to her whine that affected dogs. Of course, seeing a cow talk in the first place required quite the mental leap, but once you got past that, you noticed the gathering packs of canines...

That's the funniest thing I've read tonight. A 5 for the belly laughs.

I've got a Englishman here that I've been office fighting with. Other than limey, what other things can I call him to try to get under his skin?

The best insults always have an element of fact :) Now cricket on the other hand is a man's game

Nope, from Liverpool. Guess I should have said English.

Call him a 'scouse git'. Reference a 1970s British TV program 'Til Death us Do Part', one character, from Liverpool, was called this by his father-in-law. BTW THe actor playing said scouse git was the father of Cherie Blair (wife of Tony Blair, recently ex British Prime Minister). P.S. I believe, though I could be misremembering, that the series was translated to US as Archie Bunker.

Yes, "All in the FAmily" is based on it. And the Monkees did a song called "Randy Scouse Git" which apparently was inspired by it as well.

Yeah! That's what I was trying to remember. Archie Bunker was what they renamed Alf Garnett to. Don't for gods sake get old. Although the good thing about Alzheimers is that you get to meet a new bunch of people every day. :)
