      Speaking the language doesn’t mean knowing the context.

      I feel strongly that this is still why London slang exists.

      Calling you a berk won’t get me a ban probably, no matter what it actually stands for. And I’m not calling you that, just to make sure to point that out.

      Im Finnish, and while you can use “Finnish person”, colloquially we’re known as Finns. But please don’t try using the same logic for Pakistan.
