So now you consider yourself qualified to teach English to native speakers, ?  

 

"Thick"  is a well known and  common English  slang word for Stupid  I cannot believe even a thick yank would not know that, 

When you can point out the UK (never mind Liverpool) on a world  map  I will consider you qualified to comment on scousers  Until then shut it.

I was going to suggest that you chose your English friends more wisely, but then again beggars can't be choosers can they, and birds of a feather do tend to flock together. so your choice is naturally limited. but it shouldn't be too challenging to find somebody who knows that the Giro bank ceased to exist about 20 years ago 

 America invented recorded laughter because the audiences were too stupid to know when to laugh, just think about that before writing any more rubbish 

 

Dude I know where Liverpool is, it is a slum across the Mersey river from Manchester (the Home of Glorious Manchester United) that propped up the slave economy in the US (Ill get the Dems on my side on this one) where Jack the Ripper lived until his old lady took him out.

 

I bet you are a Scouser then. Or from Leeds. My mates say folks from Leeds are barely human.

 

I will say though, I do admire your cheese rolling festival and Webley revolvers, although my bros say that outside Manchester, there is no real England.

If I was a mobster I would rather be called Joe "the Crip" instead of Joe "Differently Abled". I think collections would be easier with the first one vs the latter.

So many words for nationalities are mere truncations of the original  (chink, pakki, Eyetie, Spic, Pork, Assie) which causes gasps of horror amongst today's precious petals.

 

Yet the 'Brit' Awards persist in being applauded

 

That's offensive

I know the metric system. We use it all the time in America. .223 is 5.56, .25 is 6.35, .308 is 7.62, .32 is 7.65, .355 is 9mm and so on.

Think we are still ok with "karen"   so far at least.    Probably because it is normally associated with white people,  white women specifically, who are no longer "protected" as they were before the alphabet freaks appeared on the scene

Not funny. Never was except amongst 5 year olds. People exaggerate a bit how times have changed. Ian Dury got into strife with his song Spasticus Autisticus back in 1981 - unfairly in my opinion - and even though he meant well.

I'm sure you don't mean anything bad but I ask are you laughing with them or at them and a term like spaz to me sounds like at them. I think how the person in question would feel if he was called that name. Lifes hard enough and I see spaz as pretty derogatory but there can often be  nothing wrong with having a joke about life's predicament if done in the right way. In my opinion.

Liverpool is NOT "across the Mersey river from Manchester" so as I suspected you have absolutely no idea where to find it on a map.  No need to be too embarrassed most  Americans would also have little idea.

You might find the following english saying helpful in the future 

"It is better to keep ones mouth shut and let people think you are stupid, than to open ones mouth and prove it".

By the way, your mates  are clearly A$$h0les

No I was not laughing "with them"   are they even capable of laughing ?      We didn't get close enough to them that they could hear us so no they were not "offended" 

 People  would of course have to be a bit more careful these days as there are so many virtue signallers itching to take offence on their behalf.  Although I can't say I am particularly bothered, 

 A joke is a joke  and nothing is off limits as far as I am concerned,  if the woke have their way their will be no more jokes. Think about that for a few minutes

My mates are from Manchester. As such, they are Jolly Red Giants, striding godlike across the planet.

 

Sorry I dont know the exact geography of Liverpool, but the UK is a small place, just basically Manchester and their surroundings, sort of like I know Manhattan but Im not good at Brooklyn.

I say nothing is off limits but you have to be willing to cop some back. The way say Ricky Gervais dealt with this type of joke in the Office was funny in my opinion because it kind of made fun of all parties - be it about the disabled, different races, sexuality, whatever. A lot of what he did would now be more difficult I concede but the general point is the more potentially offensive the more clever it needs to be. Happy for everyone to have the piss taken. To me though - seems kind of obvious - calling someone a spaz is lazy - it has no subtlety, no funny angle, nothing but being a bit mean.
