God bless the Brits

The British have such a way with words. I realize that I, too, speak English, but ...

British English has a tendency to be so much more biting, and yet so much more ... fun to say.

Gormless.

Knackered. (Thanks, Hol, for the spell check! I'm such an airhead!)

Daft.

Barmy.

Starkers.

Gormless, especially, is a new favorite word. I can't wait to wield it at someone who truly deserves it. Someone who truly deserves it and can hear me outside of my car, that is.
