No, because there is no establishment movement. (The C of E, already being estabishled.)

There is - or at least was for some time - a disestablishment movement. Those who opposed the disestablishment, were styled as antidisetablismentarians. Hence, antidisestablishmentarianism. Simple really.

i mean since it's a double-negative.

Antidisestablishmentarianism is the opposition of the separation of church and state. Therefore, disestablishmentarianism is the separation of church and state. Therefore, establishmentarianism is the unity of church and state.

Establishmentarianism is the action of combining church and state; antidisestablishmentarianism is the belief that church and state should not be separate, and thus they should be combined. Therefore, antidisestablishmentarianism is not simply a double negative designed to be a super-long word.

:( Go to Newcastle. It's the greatest city in the UK. (Plus we have the metro which will take you to the best places, like Tynemouth, where there is a cool castle and a great restaurant in the station, or North Shields which has the worlds best fish quay).

Well, no-one in Newcastle will laugh at you because you are going to Northumbia - or whatever the hell they call Newcastle Polytech these days. Or at least not much.

Second, and I can't stress this to much, THE GEORDIE ACCENT IS THE SEXIEST ACCENT IN THE WHOLE WORLD EVAR. :)

Ah, there's nothing that will both unite and divide two cultures like insults. I learned some terrific ones in Greek from my ex:

MaLAHka = your basic "fucker" (also used as a male-bonding familiar-insult)
MaLAHkoTREHno = literally "fucker-train"
SouVLEE = "pubic louse/wart"
and the mild but fun to say, peegiNEH stoh Thialoh = "go to hell/the devil"

As for English, I like both UK and US variants.

wanker (and if the subject is truly a spectacle) wank festival
ass-clown (and the more technical) ass-spelunker
slapnuts
fuckwit
turdburglar (mild, but has an amusing assonance...which is not an insult...)
turdknuckle
shitbird (especially for annoying and/or insignificant people)
jackass (especially when said in a quick sotto yell, like the guy from the Adam Sandler movies)
bastard (see Eddie Izzard's Circle for a linguistic thesis on this one)
jizz-mopper (especially because a close friend temporarily had that job at a porn shop)
fart blossom (lovingly adapted from A Midsummer Night's Dream's "chancreblossom")

And from the hilarious movie South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut, we get these wonderful conflations:

testicle-shitting rectal wart
boner-biting bastard
donkey-raping assmaster

I'll tell you this though tink. Being geordie is more than being born there. I wasn't born there, but I spent a sizeable portion of my life there. I live in New York City now, but I often go back to my only home, and there is nothing in the world like the feeling when you cross the Stephenson transport bridge back to Newcastle no the train. Or when your flight crosses St. Mary's Isand on the final approach to Newcastle airport.

But the accent thing is true. You have to be born there to do it.

Don't matter, geordies are the friendliest people in the world. (Well unless you fuck them off, the they will glass you, but I doubt that will ever happen to you).


Out of all the places my US friends have visited, they always say that geordieland is the most friendly.

And in any event, if you go on a school program, you'll meet lots of new friends. That's how it works. Never, ever, choose a program because you think you will have friends there. It will all turn out bad.

Frankly, your real concern should be which school has the most competitive program.

it's nursing, wherever i go to uni i'm gonna get a job afterwards! it's not just because of my friends, it's a nice place, it's far away from my family and from what i can tell from the website, the uni seems like a good one

Then go to newcastle. They'll even give you a job up there. (Honestly I don't know anything about nursing programmes; but I do know that there is a shortage of nurses. Just don't take a job at rake lane, there is problems on their horizon.)


But really, go to newcastle. No-one I have ever met regrets it.

There's a thought, might pop out at lunch and get a chip stottie with a splash of curry sauce. Or should it be a corned beef pattie? If I stand on the desk I can nearly see St Mary's.
Anyone wants to come to this area will ove it. More Castles than you can shake a S##tty stick at, lovely country side, craster kippers, then best shore line and sand, good shopping, the best team in the world, the best beer, stotties, greggs sausage rolls, flights to Rome, Paris Berlin etc from £30 return. Could go on for pages!

Yes, sadly this is all true. Damn, you America, why don't you have chip stottie?.

That's true, the RVI kicks ass, as does the Freeman.

Don't go to Rake Lane though. That's not a proper hospital.

Awright, just what, in the name of Zeus's butthole, is "chip stottie"? I know "chips" are essentially fries (French, freedom or otherwise), "biscuits" are cookies, "crisps" are chips, but I've never heard of "stottie".

i wasn't actually seriously suggesting you do that, jsut testing for a reaction. there's rarely a sound reason to school abroad. it's costly, and not usually better enough of an education to justify the expense.

The stottie is the delicious bread that wraps around the chips. Basically, a stottie is a big individual pizza size piece of bread - though not to risen about an inch and a half.


Anyway, said stottie is split in half, then both parts are split again making "pockets". In other words they have an opening made in them, creating a pitta like pocket, without the crust ever beinfg cut.

The one procedes to stuff the stottie with chips, butter and sauce of choice. Personally, I like the onion gravy. Though many go for the curry sauce.

Of course, the exact definition of how the stottie sandwich varies upon where you get it. But all stotties are essentially circular semi-leavened peices of bread, which are around nine inches in diameter.

Well maybe I am being too hard on Chicago. I spent a month there once, and subjectively it was like ten thousand years, so in many respects it did expand my life expectancy.

But it is what it is.

i'm just sayin. if your life expectancy's length is as important to you as this post makes it sound, never badmouth the city in front of a Chicagoan. we're crazy. we will hurt you, and have funny accents and poor grammar (thanks chi public schools) while we do it.

and a note to Intangelon: chips are different to french/freedom (what a lame name) fries in that they are bigger and actually made of potato.

SCUMTARD
adj. 1. A gene pool reject characterized by any combination of three or more:

Example:
“Do you believe the nads on this scumtard, asking for his narcotic refill 27 days early?”


It's a noun, not an adjective.

Thanks, L-Daemon, for the definition, Pure Metal for the pics, and NianNorth, neither of your links worked (browser showed me an empty screen for 30 seconds -- my law of Net patience says I wait no longer than that with DSL).

I'm not a "fries" fan, meself. Your UK chips seem to be more along the lines of larger "steak fries" or better yet, what are called "jo-jo potatoes" or just "jo-jos" here in the US.

The notion of the stottie sounds like something I'd like all too much, being the huge carbohydrate addict that I am. Sounds like a bit of a coronary occlusion wrapped in flatbread, but yummy!

So what sauce do you chip-munching UKers like on your chips? I am partial to tartar sauce, honey-mustard, barbecue sauce (especially Sweet Baby Ray's Honey BBQ), or some of the conflated "fry sauces" that restaurants and shops come up with (they're usually some form of mayonnaise and spices -- cheaper ones just fuse mayo and ketchup/bad BBQ sauce).

Could be a West Coast thing, I don't know. Jo-jos tend to be large sections of potato that are breaded before they're fried. They're not staggeringly popular here, but they have their own legion of fans. I try to save my consumption of that much starch for pasta and the lovely white sticky rice that comes with yummy Thai/Chinese/Indian food.
