Kill the next half hour and watch Pimp My Ride uk. All the MTV fast-cuts are there, but it is just a little awkward at times. Much better than any US MTV though. The Brits do most things better, culture-wise. Not so much militarily anymore.
Another thing the British are better at is swearing. Check out a list of British slang here. But this one is my favorite:
Sod – This word has many uses. My father always used to say “Oh Sod!” or “Sod it!” if something went wrong and he didn’t want to swear too badly in front of the children. If someone is a sod or an “old sod” then it means they are a bit of a bastard or an old git. “Sod off” is like saying “piss off” or “get lost” & “sod you” means something like “f*** off”. It also means a chunk of lawn of course. You can usually tell the difference!
Sod all – If you are a waiter in America and you serve a family of Brits, the tip is likely to be sod all or as you would call it – nothing. Because we don’t know about tipping.
Sod’s law – This is another name for Murphy’s law – whatever can go wrong, will go wrong.
