And you quoted my signature for some reason, Diamond. Was that supposed to mean something? :p Well, okay. Maybe it fits a little bit. But as far as the last part- "At least you can be supremely entertaining, right?"- I'm not sure I always live up to that. Sometimes I get the feeling that I cause more scoffing than laughter. But oh well, I guess if you're scoffing you're probably smiling and feeling somewhat entertained. (this thread is now twice as important, Diamond) |
A Cheeky British Barrowdowner!
You're better than everyone on the entire forum, and you know it. I hate you. Will you marry me? Moi? never been there, never done that, never ever bought a doublet... Marriage, marriage, lemme see: 1 a (1) : the state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband or wife in a consensual and contractual relationship recognized by law (2) : the state of being united to a person of the same sex in a relationship like that of a traditional marriage <same-sex marriage> b : the mutual relation of married persons : WEDLOCK c : the institution whereby individuals are joined in a marriage 2 : an act of marrying or the rite by which the married status is effected; especially : the wedding ceremony and attendant festivities or formalities 3 : an intimate or close union <the marriage of painting and poetry -- J. T. Shawcross> er, with all attendant festivities and formalities...? Or would just intimate and close union do? :D |
Points of note:
Diamond, my apologies, but you did want to saw Leninia's head off, so... Beth, but you do listen to the Clash. Nur, I guess it's time to fess up: I partially lied about not basing this test on actual people. Please don't tell Seamus Heaney about my slight in the meantime. I'm still set on becoming his pet one of these days. Saucie, but I did mention that the British are the best, in spite of substance abuse. The Russians, on the other hand... Phantom, this quiz is not supposed to be at all serious. Like, if you gauge an activity's seriousness on a scale of 1 to 10, it comes in at about a -3.14. Being labeled as "something typical" is the point. Thank you for making this thread twice as important, in the meantime. ;) Heren, only if you dare to have a jihad on your hands to deal with. :D I suppose Aragorn had it worse...or did he? |

I tried taking the charming little questionnaire as my alter ego. I got Angsty Teen! Now that is simply incorrect. I am not angsty, I am evil, by definition. Angst, or any form of inverted melancholia or that member of the four humours does not apply to my flawless, yet utterly horrible persona. If Sauron took that quiz, he'd probably end up with (or be discriminatorially labeled) Angsty Teen Barrowdowner as well. I suggest you make a slight revision allowing one or two of the focal subtexts to act as a catalyst between the angsty prepuscant generation and the category of 'Dark and Loathsome Barrowdowner.' If you understood that paragraph, perhaps my life, miserable and angst-ridden (as of now) as it may be, will have some vague notion of purpose. Oh *sigh*....*angsty sigh*...*very angsty sigh* |

2) Making or marked by an extravagant outward show; ostentatious. I think the pretentious part would be fine with me, as long as you are not more pretentious than I am. :p Prat- The buttocks. Oh yeah, I'm definitely a sucker for prats. ;) |
So how many categories were there? Are all bases covered now?
(I was yet another Cheeky Brit. Not entirely accurate but quite good enough...a couple more wine-and-boudoir questions could easily have made me a Pretentious Prat I fear....) |

Wow, Lush, I figure I would really have to crank up the effort to be in the same prat category as Rim, although maybe not everyone here would agree to that. ;) Shall I run off now and retake the test to see if I can really be me this time? :p :D |
Heh..That's a funny quiz. :D I really like it. :p
Um...until I came to the result. I'm a dork, obviously. :eek: Cheers, Oro |
Lush, a question: why were you in Durham?
|
Because she's a Dukie.
|
Hmmmm... I'm an angsty teen barrowdowner... I guess the standing-in-the-constant-rain and stabbing-the-yearbook questions did me in, eh?
But it really DOES always rain here!! It's raining right now!!! See?!?! ~Maeg the Angsty Teen Barrowdowner. I hate everything!! Bwaaaaaaaaa! |
A Cheeky British Barrowdowner! What in the North does that mean!?
Seriously, this is one of the best online quizes I've taken. |
so much fun!
Great quiz! *applauds Lush* I first got Cheeky Brit (seems to be the most popular, though I'm not British :D ), then I took it again and got Good Christian. Weird combination, but 'm not complaining! :cool:
|
Great stuff Lush. That 'wasted weekend' of yours was still far more productive than any weekend I ever spent. :)
Probably because I spend too much time in the pub. Hence myself being the latest addition to the Cheeky Brit category. Very good as I am technically British, although for the benefit of you foreigners, British ALWAYS means English. I may be a Scot but I still love the Beatles (Fab!) and Maeg, I think the 'rain' answer must have applied to the Brits and not the angsty teens. There is a constant grey cloud over these islands. |
You're probably right, Eomer. But it really does rain constantly here, too.

You're better than everyone on the entire forum, and you know it. I hate you. Will you marry me? Strange, seeing as how I'm Canadian...:D |

Evisse, I suppose one can be British and a good Christian at the same time, but you might be lacking in something if you were cheeky... seriously cheeky and not jokingly cheeky. Lush, reflecting on prior posts of those who were 'angsty teens,' what happens if you end up with such and you are 'angsty' but well past the teenage years? |
Quote:
:D Actually, I don't know the answer, since the quiz is more of a pastime for the bored than a thorough exploration of character. I suppose I'd advise said person to take it in stride and be proud? ;) |
Nurumaiel, the funniest defence of the word 'Scotch' I ever heard was something along these lines;
"Scotch must be a proper description because Queen Victoria used it." Very funny stuff! Alright then, I'll concede. The traits of Britishness are always identical with the traits of Englishness. But I suppose that I'm alright with that. I do drink an extraordinary amount of tea. :D |

But some of these categories rule each other out: I mean, you cannot get both Teeny bopper and King, without cheating...or can you? |

Ah, tea.... well, I'm not fond of tea in itself unless I'm in the correct mood but nothing can take away from the event of tea. It's extraordinary fun to be different people having tea. Generally I will be merely myself and sit by the fire, drinking tea with a few friends and talking about anything we fancy, or maybe telling a little story or two, but it's also enjoyable to pretend we're of the higher class and to take little sips and speak only of the weather and everyone's health. We mock the higher class most terribly and I only ever mock something when I'm quite fond of something... that's how I know I love LotR and that's why I suspect I'm really quite fond of the British. ;) |
do you stick out your little fingers too? ;)
|
I stick out my little finger when drinking any kind of beverage. Its a natural reaction to lifting a beverage-holder in Britain. We Brits have a very slight difference in our blood to the rest of the world's population, completely isolated in our little fingers. It generates a force against most kinds of drink, particularly tea (there is currently a major study being undertaken to discover why) which pushes the finger away from the drink.
Interesting eh? On another note, why is cheekiness associated with Brits? Anyone have any ideas? |
finger re: ah, I see :D
cheerky brits re: I suppose that English is the only language to make up words derived from facial expressions to express qualities of character? "eyeballing' being another word of the kind that pops up to mind... |
You are- An Über-Dork Barrowdowner!
Heh heh, I took the quiz yesterday. Yesterday, I wasn't a Barrowdowner yet. :) But I think my results are ok, only obviously I've never been in the Quiz Room.
|
So welcome, Uber-Dork Barrow-Downer :). Let your travels bring you to rest amongst the dead of this forum, and achieve some british cheekiness, which is free to take, once you figure out what answers to check :D. And never-ever go to the quiz room, or you'll become like poor Perky Ent, that is, obsessed!

Well, when I talk about obsessions, I know my subject. Been there, done that, many times, four years. Location being just a little bit to the south from Quiz room, that is, in the Quotes :D
And that's cheeky one talking, there is no check to our cheek! (tra-la-la-lally, here down in quiz-valley...) |
???
Whoa. I'm a good Christian Barrowdowner. Christian, yes. Barrowdowner, yes. Good? Maybe... ;)

Congratulations! You are- A Pretentious Prat Barrowdowner!
