Quite American centric this one. "RINO" in particular is just something we in the rest of the world would never use/ hear

In the UK we've heard so many people whining about BRexit In Name Only over the past few years it wasn't difficult to guess the US version. I imagine that's also what biggus is referring to?

ESL is kinda old school now, it's more commonly EAL - English as an additional language

Um, I have never heard that!
+1
Level 72
Apr 22, 2021
It's quite common and widespread now. Most programs that offer English tutoring are referred to as EAL, not ESL. Not quite right to automatically assume that English is someone's second language. Could be a third language, or more!

"British" is really misleading for WC... I was trying to think of something specifically brit, and WC is used in other parts of Europe. (at least in France where I've always used it, I don't know about other countries).

all of Europe knows it, even if it's used with varying frequency

Yep we use the exact same word. And atleast 98% of the time, only if you want to sound extremely posh you use toilet (genuine or to ridicule, sort like saying "to the ladies room").

Even if you were meeting with the primeminister you would ask where the "wc" is. Perhaps not when meeting with the king (because you dont want to mess up so you use the most sophisticated words for things, but I am sure he himself would say wc, not toilet)

I've never heard heard a single person ever say water closet in Britain - I know what it stands for, but you always say toilet or bathroom never W/C or water closet :/

Absolutely correct. You'll see signs for WC all over Germany as well.

Kind of weird to have british as the clue for a toilet... Just toilet would be a good clue. (you know people pee all over the world, not just in the uk)

'British' is a silly clue. By that logic, all the other clues should say 'American'

Also, there is nothing inherently “alien” about a flying object that you are unable to identify. Chances are, it originated on Earth 😊
