I NEVER KNEW THIS

I NEVER KNEW THAT WAS WHAT AMERICANS MEANT WHEN THEY SAID “QUITE” 

WHY DIDN’T ANYBODY TELL ME

SUDDENLY THAT ONE SONG THAT GOES “HELLO I MISS YOU QUITE TERRIBLY” MAKES LIKE A MILLION TIMES MORE SENSE

are you serious british people

i feel like this means i’ve been overestimating your enthusiasm about things for my entire life

“Quite” is British for “i don’t really care about the thing”

That reminds me of that time when I was telling something to an American friend of mine, and at the end of my story, she said “Wow, good for you!!” and I was like WTF?? until I finally realised that she was meaning it literally.

Never ever had I heard this phrase being used unironically. I was deadly insulted until I finally understood that she was actually, genuinely happy for me. That was one of the weirder moments in my life, honestly.

It happened a few times more, and every single time I experienced an incredible amount of whiplash. Why are you all so literal.
