Reply to: Why are Americans so ******* loud?

And you gotta know John Smith from London!

I always thought this was anecdotal stereotype.

A few years back, I submitted a story to an online US e-zine.

Got a nice email from the publisher accepting my piece, and asking if I knew Michael Hulme from Suffolk as he'd also submitted a story, but wasn't responding to emails. I live in Hampshire.

Always pretend to be from somewhere like Canada.

It disarms them as they have slightly heard of it, but couldn't point to it on a map and don't have anything to use as a conversational gambit or seed for aggression.

Americans are pig-ignorant, small minded and generally stupid. My in-laws are very much included in that sweeping statement.

You're from England? Do you know Dave Jones from Norwich?

Its a competitive/aggressive thing in terms of who shouts the loudest tends to get what they want, go to most southern mediterranean bars and you'll hear the same.

Worst thing is when there's a large group of them at a bar they get drunk and they start 'yee-hawing' like cowboys, that's quite funny.

And finally, how the **** do I sound Irish or Australian!!!!!!

Because you keep addressing people with "Top-o-the-mornin', sir" or "g'day, mate"?

Or you sound like a drunkard.

You could just say you visited a start town called England while flying in from Oz.

Theyve started stripping off, I'm bored and I've hit the tequila.

This could get messy....

Sounds like the high life to me!

Why dont you start singing to drown out the yanks.....

Though I have found places like that in the UK. Maybe you just got lucky?

And don't put on a fake accent. If anyone asks just say you are from Oz and you wrestle crocodiles for a living.
