I watched this Law & Order: UK video via YouTube trending. I could not believe BBC would ever make a promo video like this. Its completely hilarious and kind of making sarcasm on its own show.
I think I can put some facts together to see what Americans have learnt from British:
1 In the beginning
Behind every dead body on the streets, there is an innocent suspect, who often says I didnt
Detectives investigate the truth and arrest the suspect by saying I am arresting you, then bring suspects to judge who wears wig and furry clothing.
2 Crown prosecutors
- They are passionate
- They defer to judges ask by saying My Lord and My Lady!
- Their favorite word to hear is guilty.
- They hate to hear not guilty.
- They cross arms with conviction.
- They end by saying no further questions.
3 Police and prosecutors
- They are often incomprehensible.
- They speak code:
- wanker = insulting name
- bent = corrupt
- rubbish = nonsense
- queuing up = lining up
- blimey = Im surprised!
- brilliant = fantastic
- nappie = diaper
- bollocks = nonsense
- bloody = mild expletive
- flat = apartment
- mum = mom
- mate = friend
- cheers = thanks
- copper = police officer
- bloke = dude
- knackers = balls
pants - flog = sell
- baubles = trinkets
- pound = unit of currency
- They have well balance diet: sandwiches and pens.
- They love scotch, but love tea much more.
- They hate placing things down gently.
- They make
- suspects cry,
- witnesses cry, and
- family and victims cry.
- They interrogate celebrity lookalikes.
- They only walk by the river when the camera pans like this.
- They are polite: always say please, thank you, and sorry.
- They are compulsively clean.
- The only thing they love more than seeking justice is wearing scarves: maroon, grey, charcoal, chocolate, rainbow, dash, brown, argyle, plaid, double rainbow.
Brilliant!
