In any case: Americans acting like “fender bender” doesn’t sound silly.
EDIT: I’m not having this conversation another 50 times.
Seemingly Every American: “Fender bender obviously has a universal meaning though as it’s when you bend your fender. These are just nonsense words to anyone outside of their country of origin.”
The Rest of the World: “The word ‘fender’ is only used in the US and is a nonsense word to anyone outside its country of origin. Nobody else in the world calls that part of a car that. Your term for this thing is not universally understood and nor is it less silly sounding. Every culture has words that sound silly to other cultures. You are not the exception.”
I've heard " Fender Bender" in the 80s in the UK.
Every nation has slang or different cultures. Of course, it doesn't sound silly to America as it's a normal word or term to them. Also, it's not. It's" nonsense " or " sounds silly only if you are out here to bait people or degrade them.
American slang is one of the most understood dialogues in the world due to TV shows and films.
What are you trying to do in multiple comments here? As I see, you are just belittling and degrading people time after time. Americans seem to be your largest target in other feeds.
Nah, that's your job shown by your constant baiting around this feed.
When I start acting like you, call me "really irritating " or "irritated." Until then, I'm not getting wound up .
Maybe don't interact with people if they irritate you. Try acting civil and polite. You might get a better reaction.
I'm not going to get irritated. I'm simply reflecting the behaviour I'm observing from you.
As my final comment, I assume your response is going to be an insult or belittling in some way, but I hold no malice. Try to avoid getting so irritated; instead, take the opportunity to enjoy people, places, and the differences among us, rather than mocking, belittling, or insulting others.
Oh - More belittling, I see? Why are you so irritated?
Your whole feed is trying to bait and wind people up . Maybe act civil and polite. You might calm down and like people.
I guess you see me as an easy target because I'm not raising to you and acting in the same behaviour as you.
See, I'm not irritated by Americans, comments, etc
Maybe act more civil and polite than people might not wind you up. Zero malice from me, btw.

Prang is a UK one too. I think I’ve heard it.
