Oh yeah,"bantz" is a dickhead term anyway, but maybe having never felt the need to go any further than a bit of actual friendly English/Scottish/Irish/Welsh/Northern/Southern ribbing between friends about accent quirks or gravy, anything like that has always seemed more of a "we're all the same but different"British piss taking. I don't tend to use lazy words like Jock anyway, more because they just don't seem part of a modern nongammon lexicon than I was purposely avoiding them for being offensive though. Maybe Brits who feel it's OK to say, feel close enough as a unified nation to throw the language around like it's their own, when to those on the receiving end it's not the same and it's more like a white guy singing all the NWA lyrics out loud in mixed company rather than alone in their car. It's probably just me sitting on top of the pile of privilege and not seeing the plight of the other Union countries when looking past them to the bottom. Or I'm so woke I forget I was ever asleep. Or I'm a little pished.
Anyway, is the country still fucked? When can I complain about frogs and krauts?
