Fun stuff. I wonder if the Wiki people can claim this is evil Western colonialism at work.

And here's another one:

I've been calling, and referring to Britons thinking of it as a friendly nikname. I wasn't intending to be offensive, but was.

Doesn't prove anything. Brit is not offensive and never will be, just like Yank is not. Even your own link has:

"I take the easy way out.....I would much rather be called a Scot first and foremost. Being called a Brit is ok by me too......it has the same short, sharp no nonsense ring to it like Scot. "

The thing is, they have to make up some stupid reason to claim it is offensive. British people and Brits don't find it offensive. Just trolls like you do. Even the British newspapers constantly shorten it to Brit. When you quote, like your link or from mine, you take a minority and try to act like it is the majority. That is in the definition of trolling.

So stop the trolling.

Ruddy great troll, aren't you? Ignoring anything that opposes your view as "trolling" is a classic troll technique in itself.

Did you know that you won't find "Brit", in that meaning, in the whole of Webster's 3rd New International? Not because it didn't exist then; the new Collegiate dates it to 1901. Because it was too bloody offensive to go in!

And note that Tarc deliberately used the term because he knew it was offensive.

If that were true, fuckwit, you'd know we hate being called "Brits".

I know, that is why I used it on purpose.
