Stop Calling us Brits you fecking dumb Yanks!

The Welsh should just toss everyone out....

I'm quoting from page 10, "The Shaping of England" by Isaac Asimov, copyright 1969:

"One Celtic dialect that spread out over Great Britian is known as 'Brythonic.' This name was undoubtedly derived from the name which the tribe that spoke it gave to themselves; and it eventually gave rise to the word 'Britain.' In speaking of the Celtic inhabitants of this island, I will refer to them as 'Britons.'

How about Bong?

"The Brittonic languages derive from the Common Brittonic language, spoken throughout Great Britain south of the Firth of Forth during the Iron Age and Roman period. In addition, North of the Forth, the Pictish language is considered to be related; it is possible it was a Brittonic language, but it may have been a sister language. In the 5th and 6th centuries emigrating Britons also took Brittonic speech to the continent, most significantly in Brittany and Britonia.

During the next few centuries the language began to split into several dialects, eventually evolving into Welsh, Cornish, Breton and Cumbric. Welsh and Breton continue to be spoken as native languages, while a revival in Cornish has led to an increase in speakers of that language. Cumbric is extinct, having been replaced by Goidelic and English speech. The Isle of Man and Orkney may also have originally spoken a Brittonic language, later replaced with a Goidelic one. Due to emigration, there is also a community of Brittonic language speakers in Y Wladfa "

So, what's so bad about calling you guys Brits?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brittonic_languages

The name "Britain" itself comes from Latin: Britannia~Brittania, via Old French Bretaigne and Middle English Breteyne, possibly influenced by Old English Bryten(lond), probably also from Latin Brittania, ultimately an adaptation of the native word for the island, Pritani

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britain_(place_name)

"The name Britain originates from the Common Brittonic term Pritanī and is one of the oldest known names for Great Britain, an island off the north-western coast of continental Europe. The terms Briton and British, similarly derived, refer to its inhabitants and, to varying extents, the smaller islands in the vicinity. 'British Isles' is the only ancient name for these islands to survive in general usage."

You're a moron. The Welsh and others are Celts. The English are Anglo-Saxon.

I fuckin hate it when ignorant assholes comment on other nationalities. I'd never disrespect Americans.

Instead of British, how about chav or pikey?

Pretty sure Paul Revere didn't yell the English are coming.

Aren't Anglo-Saxons Germans originally ? So, English are not really English then ?

FFS! Originally Picts and other English tribes. The English are a damn site more English than today's Germans are German. At the rate you're going you'll all be Arabic in 50 years from now.

Exactly, the fake english royalty whose real surname is Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and NOT Windsor!

The English ARE English. They weren't Celts. The English came from the Angle and Saxon tribes from Germany, hence Anglo-Saxon. They invaded Briton and founded the East Anglian kingdom, which was known as "Angle-land", which became England.

We're all doomed. Nobody can grasp simple history.

How about Muslibrits?

Is that ok?

Or maybe Britistan.

Brummy scousers....?

His most famous quote was fabricated.

Paul Revere never shouted the legendary phrase later attributed to him (“The British are coming!”) as he passed from town to town. The operation was meant to be conducted as discreetly as possible since scores of British troops were hiding out in the Massachusetts countryside.

But you wear fluffy shirts like Austin Powers, have bad teeth, eat blood pudding, make terrible cars, and that stupid accent YOU STUPID FAULKING BRITS!!!!!!!!!

Isn't Whitby where Dracula came to England?

I'm guessing you've never been to England or even met an English person, you ancient dumbfuck. Who the fuck's Austin Powers? Blood (black) pudding's a favourite in Ireland, and that stupid accent isn't an accent, it's a language - the one you speak. Think about that...
