It’s like when you see some talking head and shoulders, say in a movie, and before you figure out he’s English, you think to yourself, “Man, I’ll bet this fag gets his butt kicked twice a week.”
The realization comes to me when I can tell he’s making an effort not to sound Canadian, but he also doesn’t want to sound like some plummy BBC rump ranger.
A lot of the public school English think the same way, something like twit-of-the-year. Not that there’s anything wrong with that—other than effete, unmanly speech and thought, they’re all right.
The women, I mean.
