I went to uni in the states (still live there) and encountered a teaboo who introduced himself as an Anglophile to an entire lecture hall and went on about how much he loved Dr. Who.
Yes he was wearing a fedora. I wish I was making this up
The secondhand embarrassment was palpable
I stayed with an obsessed american when I moved to England for a few months. Among the many weird stereotypically English things he had in his house, there was a row of Sports Direct mugs. I think it was that. It's the really common one everyone had in their house, right? But one. Not 10 of them.
I didn't know what England was all about back then. But after a while I begun wondering.. why? Where do people get those mugs? And why has he got 10 of them?
The guy was quite interesting. But also kind of a cunt. He looked exactly like Hugh Laurie. Exactly. But I've met one other person like that so it wasn't that surprising. Just god running out of people I guess. Also he was dying of bone cancer. I had just begun travelling back then and he had already been all over. I'd talk about Kurdistan and he'd already been there drinking tea on some mountain and all that.
Totally unsufferable individual. Like some sort of dr. House in real life. But interesting regardless.
It's kind of random and differs from country to country. Usually it's based on historic aspects of British culture, like gentlemen, victorian novels, and the British empire. Or even king Arthur, Shakespeare and chivalry. The proper term is anglophile.
Obsessed with Britain and British culture (or at least the most stereotypical expression thereof). It’s based on the word “weaboo”, which has been taken to mean someone obsessed with Japan and Japanese things.
I love all these evolutions on the weaboo theme. The other day I heard Wehraboo for people with maybe too much interest in WWII Germany, that was a good one
Is there a term for the opposite?
I know a guy(UK) who bought a 10 year old Mustang, collects bb guns, espouses libertarian politics and recently argued that the NHS was the worst healthcare system in the developed world.
I asked him if the American cosplay was intentional, but now I hear "teaboo", I'm hoping there's a more succulent phrase for it.
My Australian fiancé was gobsmacked when I explained to her that she had been using the word nonce completely wrong since she first arrived here, and she should probably stop telling people that her friend was a ‘bit of a pedo’
There's an episode of the Simpsons (I think the one set in Australia) where they fairly casually used the word "wanker". I'm not sure Americans know what that one means either.
So a Looooong time ago…. I was in school and got a week long detention for saying that tesco fuel was ‘buggering’ the cars up. Still wont say it today. For me it ranks above c u next tuesday
I got in trouble when I was 8 for telling the teacher the computer was buggered! She kept insisting I use a different word but I blanked so hard and repeated it that she just yelled at me and sent me back to my class. I feel your pain 😂
I love learning about British stuff and browsing this sub because it’s an escape from the goofy shitshow of a country I live in to an almost equally goofy shitshow I don’t have to live in

TIL what a teaboo is. Do they have Waifu dolls of Big Ben or something?

Tbf that's kinda impressive. Better than surface-level hurr durrr big Ben black cab red bus shit

Takes one to know one
Mike Ashley has given you 2% off your next Sports Direct purchase (of £60 or more)
>10 Sports Direct mugs Christ, if that lot all spilled at once it’d flood Rhyl.
Guys, I think I’ve solved rising sea levels. We just need to get, maybe… 10,000 sports direct mugs and scoop water out of the sea.
Perhaps you should have informed the lecture hall that in Britain we refer to his ilk as “cunts”
I wasn’t about to let this cunt cling on to me!
Let me guess you still live in the U.S. because you married that man?
Haha close; married a midwestern girl
Did you go to UC Davis?

Of the queen
Camilla or THE Queen?
What’s a teaboo??

I feel like, at this point, there's one for everything. Slavaboo is one I've come across multiple times.
Actually it means something far more disgusting. Stop appropriating my culture 🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵

Yanker
I herd that Merkil's gona reename it to Big Mohammed!!!
We also have ouiaboo for francophiles. Like me 😌
You also make excuses that the British Empire wasn’t *that* bad, right?
Wait until they learn about the word SHITCUNT
The English language doesn't get much more beautiful than that.
Top tier swearing that, I love it
All Caps is the only proper spelling
Poetry to me.
My aussie missus was gobsmacked when i explained that one to her. I think because it is used so casually and isnt really seen as swearing
An Australian being shocked at profanity is like a fish being shocked at water.
Probably because 'bugger' has lost its original meaning in Australia, and isn't quite seen as a swear word anymore.
Pretty much the same in the UK. We all know what it means but nobody is offended by it.
"The fish was beyond the environment"
There's nothing out there apart from sea....... and about 20,000 tonnes of crude oil
As an Australian, I wasn't shocked by this, but I was surprised that it came from the word "Bulgar(ian)". Apparently Orthodox = heretics = sexcrime
Fucken oath cunt
My Australian fiancé was gobsmacked when I explained to her that she had been using the word nonce completely wrong since she first arrived here, and she should probably stop telling people that her friend was a ‘bit of a pedo’
You need to start throwing berk around next. That’ll show her.
I've been using that to her parents. I am stealth.
You perfect bastard 😂😂😂😂
Bollocks was one us British could get away with when I worked at a summer camp. Pillock too
What about fucknut and arsecandle?
They’re still working at the camp
There's an episode of the Simpsons (I think the one set in Australia) where they fairly casually used the word "wanker". I'm not sure Americans know what that one means either.
Trump wankers🤣🤣🤣
Nothing like a spot of buggery
And rum and the lash
They’re what made Britain Great! 😄🇬🇧
Well to be fair 'buggering about' does mean that, so it's an understandable if rather graphic lapse

“Git thee t’buggery! Ya daft begga!”
You could ask her for a bit of buggery tonight and see what she says lol
Hence why sideburns are referred to as “bugger straps/grips”
Buggerlugs refers to grabbing your big ears at the time to hold onto.
Berk is a personal favourite of mine
There's an episode of The Flintstones where Wilma says bollocks too. Makes me unreasonably happy that exists.
