Today, I was loudly bitched out by someone for speaking in a fake British accent, to make myself "sound sophisticated". I moved here two years ago from London. FML

You should sling some good British jargon at the bloody rube. That would make him feel like the dumbass he clearly is.

You must be joking! The Australian accent sounds like a country bumkin cousin compared to British.

No no no... Australian accents make one appear more attractive. British accents do make one appear more sophisticated. Provided they aren't from Liverpool.

That's because idiots (such as myself) walk around drunk pretending to be British. Weirdly everyone always seems to believe me. Perhaps we fake it so often we don't even know the real sound anymore.

Sorry that happened, OP. My mom had the same problem. Amazing that in a country with so many prople from so many places, this is still such a big deal.

Why do people care about that sort of thing? Life is too short to chew out everyone you think is being an idiot.

How about London, Texas; London, Arkansas; London, Michigan; or any of the other 11 Londons in the US, or London, Ontario, Canada? And are you impersonating the Orbit gum girl?

The only London I've been to is London, Ontario. As far as I know the others are all made up, like Gotham. Don't take me seriously, I'm just kidding, of course Gotham isn't made up. I've saved it from destruction time and time again.
