Definitely better than grammar, anyways...

Big problem with this: I am far too handsome to be the offspring of either of you, let alone both.

We won't mention the disturbing mental imagery of you and Ecthy, um, doing the nasty...

Well you can't deny the truth forever.

I was drunk, he took advantage....

We donated some cells to cloning research and you were the resultant, Anglo-Saxon-racist/funny-soeaking-German hybrid.

"Ignoramus" in latin is a verb, not a noun. The plural of the english word is "ignoramuses."

You definitely hear "wicked" in New Hampster. Didn't know it had crawled as far north as Maine.

"Oh my head" is an exclamation like "f-in A," generally used to underline the speaker's incredulity. "Look at that girl's hooters -- oh my head!" or "I was soooooo drunk last night -- oh my head!"

Now excuse me, but I'm late for candlepin bowling in Wuhstah.

The worst accents:

British, Scottish, Wellish and Irish

No other accent beats those in annoyance

Well...for me, everything that's from "great" britain is british (hmmm...then I shouldn't have put Scottish and Wellish on)

To make it clear: The accents from "Great" britain (I have heard) is just too annoying...

Just to make everyone understand (EU2 logic):

SD and I had "very good" relations. Then he got on me, thus providing me with a casus belli against him. So I unsulted him in order to get worse relations. Apart from that, we're from different nations (replacing religions from EU2) and have never net (no royal marriage). I can now declare war upon him without being afraid of stability loss

Nothing wrong with tautologies if they emphasise a point though.
