Think of British as more of a geographical term. Referring to people from the actual island of Great Britain

Interesting. So then the Welsh and the Scots refer to themselves as British?

I would think that’s as unlikely as a Canadian calling himself American.

I’ll never forget being about 10 years old and meeting some clearly British family members who said they were from “Jersey”. As a big Brodeur fan, my mind went straight there, and I was soooooo confused. Never admitted it either so I just assumed they moved to New Jersey for some reason.

I would take hand me down jeans over hand me down bad teeth. Tin grin and mullet hair doesn't exactly make for a great timeline when growing up in the 80's.
