What they call an estate is a housing project here

Some bleeping estate! lol It's like the thugs go out on fox hunts and see the Queen from time time

Some bleeping project! lol It's like the thugs are working for a wonderful and productive future.

Each nation chooses the euphemism most in accord with its culture. the Brits prefer the image of stately buildings and grounds tended lovingly for centuries, the Americans the image of boosting the economic machine. Neither accords to the reality
