[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like the Brits. Many I've met have that dry sense of humor. very witty I can appreciate smart humor![/quote] They say something insulting or mean spirited and then defend it by saying it's their "British humor". Wit is smart, being condescending or insulting under the guise of 'humor' is not.[/quote] That particular aspect of British humor is called "winding you up" or "taking the piss" and it's practically a hobby. Not to be confused with the Monty Python-type wit you're probably also familiar with, or even something like Absolutely Fabulous. FWIW, The British version of The Office is a lot darker than the American Version (which Gervais contributed to, btw). [/quote]
