95% of the world's population would beg to differ, but hey.

But it's amazing the brass neck of a nation to not only steal the name of a sport and then insist that the original sport is called something else.

It'd be like after The Beatles played Ed Sullivan, and Sullivan said "you're called The Byrds now. The Byrds are having your name."

I've been ripped off by so many others on this site for it, but for me it's the ironic banality of it. There is no "clever" element to it, it's just the purity of its inanity.

Now STFU you Fat Yank.

It's only the same as Americans going on about British people with bad teeth.

...and there are a lot more fat yanks than there are Brits with bad teeth, so...

The thing is, I drop "Fat Yanks" as a consciously silly catchphrase. It's also a nice tester, as you can tell the stupidity of the Yank you're talking to by their reaction to it. (For example, we've got a real thick ****er reacting to it here).

I once had a Fat Yank pming me his diet and exercise regime for DAYS, every "STFU Fat Yank", sending him into a rage of trying to prove he wasn't.

Whereas many Fat Yanks will do a "speaking German" or "bad teeth" routine and seemingly think they're being inventive.

A rare Yankian diss I rated was in NSB one day to a Green Teef who was getting overenthusiastic about Green Teef boxing: "wake up and smell the tea".
