Slang terms for English speakers

Well, I think there it is very likely that it went straight to video, if you know what I mean.

*editing: omit that "there"

Please, don't misunderstand, I have no objections to being called a "yank", (as long as it's not done angrily), I just didn't know if it was meant to have a negative connotation or not. I can't raelly think of any instance where someone would be bothered by such an expression. Also, "limey", (or however it's spelled) is not a term I've ever used, and one I've heard only rarely, & then in a jovial context.

- Alice, the unoffended yank

Sasenach for English people.

"Goray" is spoken by Indians and Pakistanis for referring white people. If they don't feel like speaking British, Americans, Australians..etc, they use it as a whole. For instance, I'm a singer and they come to my music show for listening to my music, and I'm being interviewd about the show in my native language, I'd rather use it as a whole and keep away myself from mentioning each citizen seperately.

Is it true that the word 'Brummagem' is used in the US to refer to something that is fake?

I've never heard that term.

I agree with the above.

I have never heard of the term "Brummagem" here in the US (at least here in California).

Limey as a name for the British? I have only heard this term in ancient black and white comedy movies. I have never heard the term used today.

The South used to call Northerners yanks during the civil war. Northerners called the South rebels.

I don't take offense to being called a yank. It doesn't have an insulting "flavor" to it. However, if a Northerner calls someone from the South a yank, he might get insulted.

I looked it up in an American Dictionary, and apparently it is a word, but again, not one I've ever heard.
