I was once engaged to a British lady. It was always fun when we had a speed bump. When I mentioned biscuits and gravy for breakfast, she thought I had gone mad.

"Brits are bloody annoying".

Oh, I wouldn't say that but their mastery of euphemism is superlative.

This is hilarious! Clear communication is essential.

Rejecting a man, I don't want to hurt his feelings. "We don't make a good match" means we don't make a good match. No need to go into detail saying he acted:

1. Critical.
2. Emotionally stunted.
3. Boring and no fun. No visible sense of humor.
4. Insensitive, hurtful and cruel at times.
5. Can't cook.

This describes the last man I met.
