What does it mean, to be mean like Americans?
Our scores in other areas are dropping, but apparently we have a reputation for wielding our words with some sadistic weight that outmatches the British tongue? I've seldom met ruder than an Irishman, lest you count that one Pakistani who cloaked his ad hominem in trivia questions. There was that French-speaking head-mistress who could weave a verbal flame that scorched the soul.
Oh, so skilled was she, at an oratorical delivery of her poison that one would scarcely think to look in her car to find it very, very far away from any form of Godliness, what-so-ever. She sounded descendant from the Boston Upper-Crust. Old-money and an Ivy League education did not, however, make up for her portly dominion and hideous skin condition.
She even had a gray highlight, a la Bride of Frankenstein - minus the length, of course.
Still, I have to wonder, by what grace are we Americans owed this dubious honor?
