    Obviously A! They don't call women 'birds' in the US, they just call them 'bitches' or 'hos' I think. :yes:
    Oh okay. But it still doesn't make sense to me. Nevermind.

    Well why would you need to "flip the bird" in the first place? Unless it means something sexual. But then it would say bonk-the-bird or whatever. I've never been "flipped" in bed! (That I know of)

    It isn't suggesting that we actually use that particular phrase in Britain. It's just saying, "which of these would a British person think the question is referring to?", and "flip the bird" is a very American saying, so most Brits would think it had something to do with a 'bird' as in a woman!

    So knew that was gonna happen... Lol.

    I am 65% British, just like Sir Elton John. Roots in the UK, the rest of your hair is in the US. So at least I'm more British than American.

    Love the story about some rich American guy buying London Bridge and moving it Arizona, thinking it was Tower Bridge.

    Yup!

    That really goes to show American intellect I feel. :p Well, at least the steryotype. That's the kinda thing Bush might do.

    (It was also a waste of actual London Bridge.)

    What is the "British" answer to that? I guessed (A)

    Flip the bird, give the middle finger. Never got the whole gesture in the first place though (Hear also, Dane Cook skit)

    My brother has a little stuffed blue bird in his car that he shows to drivers when they piss him off (get it, get it, huh huh huh? :p )

    Oh i've left the country many times before. In fact being compared to Mr Bean is almost offensive, hardly Rowan Atkinsons best tv character.
