A non-british guy just said "bollocks." Is he allowed to do that?

    For some reason, that doesn't have quite the negative connotation as weeaboo. It kinda sounds classy, kinda.

    I started saying bollocks every once in a while after hanging out with this Jamaican dude who lived in England for like 30 years. He said it all the time and with a funny accent to boot.

    I often switch to French anytime I am worried that my sentence won't sound smart enough in English, though I only know a few common phrases

    this gives people the impression that I am an intellectual, and allows me to condescend to people I consider less worldly

    if they remain unimpressed, I mention the fact that I have been to Europe, which validates me

    I like wanker, especially from someone with an accent. Calling someone a wanker without a british accent just sounds so plain.
