Jan 3, 2013 at 9:41 comment added Amicable It allows us to be venomous and bigoted while hiding behind the shield of humour.
Jan 2, 2013 at 20:07 comment added Dunk @Amicable - So you hate that British Culture alllows people to to be open, honest and be able to joke around without having to worry about every little word they say because they might offend some pansy who chooses to be insulted, have hurt feelings and feel all sorry for their self.
Dec 31, 2012 at 4:53 comment added Amicable I really hate that part of British culture but it's true.

Jun 17, 2012 at 19:05 comment added Caffeinated The settings was as follows: We were a party of 6, 3 sitting on each side. My boss(who is quite the serious type) was exactly diagonal from Chad(ie farthest away from each other) and sitting adjacent to me. He said it in deadpan tone. If I remember accurately he was hunched over the table a little, leaning forward
Jun 17, 2012 at 10:01 comment added Nobody I believe that word is world-wide. If I were the boss, I'd consider firing Chad. Why? Chad used that word to me and chances are he could use that word to the customers. I can afford to lose an employee, I cannot afford to lose a multi-million dollar value customer. Case closed.
Jun 16, 2012 at 17:35 comment added pdr +1 but also the body-language of Chad is important. There are a lot of ways to say any two words, some positively aggressive, some nasty without aggression, some super-defensive and some just plain joking.
