Profound Thoughts

How come when your wife or girlfriend gets pregnant, all her girlfriends rub her belly and say "congratulations", but nobody rubs your dick and says "good job"?

There's no such thing as a "British accent". Britain has thousands of accents, many of which are so different from one another as to be mutually unintelligible.

There used to be an accent based on that spoken in the "Home Counties" (the area immediately surrounding, but not including, Greater London), called 'Received Pronunciation' and also known as the "BBC accent", as it was required that BBC news presenters should speak in that way. It's largely disappeared since the decision in the early 1980s to allow regional accents on BBC news broadcasts. It's that obsolete accent that most Americans think of as "the British accent"; Oddly many of the people who most famously spoke with that accent were born outside Britain, in places such as Jamaica and India where the BBC World Service was popular.

And if you want to know what "Fuck off" sounds like in RP, read it forwards, correctly. Or get Trinidadian broadcaster (and master of the accent) Trevor McDonald to tell you to fuck off.

"People ask me why I write horror stories," said Stephen King.
