- End all your sentences with “at least that’s what they say in the UK.”
- Smatter phrases throughout your conversations like: “bloody crazy (or bloody ‘ell)”, “cheerio”, “there’s a queue at the loo”, “right-o”, “god save the Queen”, “good god I think he’s gone mad”, “mind the gap”, “bullocks”, “six of one fish n’ chip is like half a dozen of another fish n’ chip”, “crikey” and “dare I say there’s a turtle in my soup!?”
- Stand with one foot at an angle in front of the other, while keeping your left hand perched on your hips, while wearing an eye-patch and drinking a dark thick stout beer.
- Talk often about your experience in Parliament and your desires to become a barrister, so you may “dispatch baddies, assist Scotland Yard and restore order and culture to the United Kingdom.”
- Insist to everyone around you that you were knighted by the Queen.
- Never ever, no matter the circumstance…brush your teeth.
- All first dates must include Earl Grey tea.
- When opening a door for ladies (of which you should always do), make a click-clicking with your tongue and exclaim, “There you go, girl!”
- When drinking a beer of any kind, always extend your pinky finger to illustrate how cultural you really are.
- Above all — always denounce the Scots, especially at parties.

You’ve seen the chaos that can be caused by two men who don’t know if they should hug or not.
That’s why WFME is taking time out of our weekly “Words For Your Enjoyment” tradition (it’s back next week so start sending in your ideas) to give you the most important set of rules that you will ever need when faced with such a situation. As for the ladies who are thinking this doesn’t concern them at all, think again.
You all know men. So please pass this along.
We’ve all been there before. A group of friends see each other and greet each other. Women hug women. Men hug women. Women hug children. Men hug children. Women hug teenagers and adolescents as do men. There’s never a question that a hug is the most normal thing in the world.

Time to face facts, people.
Were you aware that over 50% of Americans eat stuff out of their own kitchen garbages? Are you aware that the trend is happening so often that there are support groups to help people cope? You’ve probably even seen references to the eating out of the garbage thing on popular TV shows and sitcoms.
So if that’s the case, isn’t it time we set a list of ground rules on what you can eat and what you can’t eat?”
Whether or not you know it, more people would opt to eat out of their own kitchen or household garbages if it was more socially accepted. But we can’t just have people eating out of the garbage without setting some ground rules first. So, that being said, here’s the ten rules you need to consider if you plan on getting into this “hot” new fad.
