I would just like to point out that many British people find the word Brit pejorative and that you shouldn't use it unless you want to offend.

Brit here, since when do we find that offensive?

Being 'offended' is bollocks.

I've never heard this in my life. I don't know a single Brit who finds the term offensive. Unless you're talking the. Brit Awarss. Now there's some bollocks.

I understand if you are fine with it. It has lost most of its meaning with history but I still cringe a little whenever I read it.

I think the keyword here is historically…

So by 'many British people' you're referring to the Scots? ;)

[stevecooperorg]

Nah. We don' use it ourselves but recognise it's 'the American for British.' I guess the equivalent of 'Yanks.'

[stuartd]

What nonsense.

It does happen for San Fran.
