    I don't see what all the fuss is about,everyone knows that Gordon Brown is a c**t & was given the job by his friend Tony Blair who is also a c**t.

    I'm Scottish, and even I think Gordon Brown is a cunt. I'm actually somewhat glad I don't live there any more.

    It's just the plain truth. You can't really apologise for it. It just is.

    Or if he did, he couldn't tell how far away it was.

    Well, to be fair Gordon Brown is a one-eyed Scottish idiot so I'm not really sure what the problem is. I get the feeling that Jeremy Clarkson has made so many enemies amongst the weird-beard "let's get rid of cars without a single thought to the consequences" crowd that they watch his show and read his articles religiously, just waiting for any chance to complain about him. He is the British "evironmentalist's" (in quotations because they don't actually do anything for the environment) biggest concern.

    I'd say that it would have had something to do with him pointing out that the Prius is actually worse for the environment then the Hummer, but it's been going on for way longer than that. Maybe it was him pointing out that the cars at a Greenpeace meeting mostly didn't have catalytic converters (a while ago now) but either way he's made enemies with some seriously bitter and vengeful people and he will be publically flayed in the tabloids on a bi-weekly basis forever.

    Dear Jalopnik,

    I just told an elevator full of women I got married so I wouldn't have to do house work.

    Should I apologize?

    @engineerd misses Uncle Pete: Dear Foot In Mouth,

    Absolutely not, you have nothing to apologize for. After all, it is well known that men and women have different levels of tolerance for filth. Men, for instance, can tolerate just about any level of filth, so long as they can still have one clean spoon to eat a can of chili. Women, on the other hand, will freak out about a single hair. Clearly, then, getting married means that you are surrendering control of your preferred living conditions (ie: filth) to the preferences of your new spouse. It is a wholly selfless act.

    All my love,

    DEAЯTHÁIЯ

    @DEAЯTHÁIЯ: Awesome.

    By the way, that was a true story. After lunch I and a couple friends were going back up to our office and talking about weekend plans (which include cleaning my condo). There were a couple other women in the elevator plus one of my friends is a woman. One of the women did not look very pleased with my remark.

    Being Scottish in general isn't fodder for insults, at least not by an Englishman. Brown's a weegie by birth and, it can be safely assumed, can thus headbutt Clarkson, stab him with a busted Tennent's bottle, and throw him down the stairs.

    What will that naughty boy do next?

    Two people, separated by a common language. The word is far more insulting and demeaning when used in an American context. In Britain it seems to be considered a mild complaint, like calling someone a hoser or dweeb.

    @Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: In Britain it's along the lines of "fucker", a stronger version of "bastard"; same deal in Australia. If you're out with your mates, you might refer to "that cunt over there", meaning just about anything, and not really derogatory at all.

    I enjoy the word immensely and thus had a field day in Scotland (where it's not to be used in conversation with well-to-do strangers, but among friends it's common).

    My folks came back from NZ in the late 70s, my dad still using "cunt" as sort of a term of buddy endearment among male friends. This blew up in his face once at work and that was the end of that. If anyone remembers the Seinfeld episode where George picked up "bastard" and "son of a bitch" from the Texans, you get the idea.
