    Because it made me think of you
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

      No, that's not it. It seems that you don't really want to say why you'd laugh. Never mind.

          No, that's vampires.
          This one IS true, you only have to look at the students at the posher Durham Uni colleges.

          10. The jumper-over-the-shoulders look.

          It's not a look.
          Again, it definitely is. You don't really fit in in the North-East wearing a pink shirt with raised collar, knotted jumper around the neck, and deck shoes, so these people stand out and are pretty common-place during term time. Then they wonder why the locals don't like students.

          20. Regattas.

          Nobody actually likes regattas.
          The river is thronged when we have rowing regattas here.

            Full of girls looking at male rowers' bodies and boys looking at female rowers' bodies.
            And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

              Being sired by a 75 year old, running away with exotic girlfriend from your £30k a year boarding school to hide out in a 5 star carribbean hotel. That's posh.

              I bet he's got red trousers.

                Loan words are not typically declined for case in English.

                  Well, clearly this one has been as it isn't in the English language like that...
