You guys spawned Benny Hill. We got stuck with Henny Youngman. I personally think Benny Hill is quite unfunny. You can have him. |

You bloaks have an uncanny talent for making a scathing insult sound like a compliment until we slow Americans can catch up.
...but we have "Yo Mamma" jokes.

My vote is for the vernacular, the subtle differences in the language. sometimes it makes for great communication problems. Waddaya mean my baggage is in the boot? I didn't toss anything and stop calling me lary ... There are a lot of difference in the way we speak. I can understand you guys almost perfectly, even the words that we would never use, but i have had many a circumstance when i have said something and the person i am talking to has no clue what i am saying. |

Maybe Americans are more gesticular (pretty sure that's a word) and are better at conveying meaning through hand movements and grimaces. |

Most hand gestures i received from americans happened when they thought i wasnt looking! |

I cannae eat haggis, but i love the neeps and tatties! why? not even extra spicy haggis? Actually, i have never tried it. Its the thought of what it is that puts me off. I spend about a quarter of my life or thereabouts in Scotland these days so i guess i should have given it a go by now. It'll take a drunken night for me to try it. |
