They're all WASP's

Poor old Hate doesn't know what WASP stands for.

Nor what "all" means

Nor how, in English, to use an apostrophe.

 

[Ihavenojob]

Was it in your dictionary?

 

[Ihavenojob]

It can mean the same here as over the water.

 

[JohnD]

I expect both the words will be. I haven't needed to look.

Have you looked in yours yet?

 

[JohnD]

Tell us what you think "WASP" means, Hate

Then tell us what you think "All" means.

Then tell us why you think they apply to the British Royal Family.

In case you forgot Hate......

Tell us what you think "WASP" means, Hate

Then tell us what you think "All" means.

Then tell us why you think they apply to the British Royal Family.

See post 11 . White Anglo Saxon Protestant . Tweedle dumb & Tweedle dumber won't read it.

WASP, a term normally used to descirbe Americans of a certain social status in a dispariging manner, but not normally applied to british people; unless you're tying to start a new trend of course.

Now I'll throw my hat in the ring, and say that for all their faults (and yes they've got many) I'll support the monarchy. They bring wealth and tradition to the country, but are no worse than movie starts (yet as vain) and they're are the envy of most countries. We have a Queen that shows dignity in the face of adversity, and prince Phillip that sticks his nose up a the establisment, and would have got on great with Spike Milligan.

We could do worse.

"Anglo-Saxon" excludes Greek, Russian, Hungarian, Danish, German ancestry. Also Scots, Welsh, Irish and of course Norman. The Royal Family are just as mongrel as any other Britons, and include more recent and old immigrant stock than most.

There are members of the Royal Family who are not Protestants.
