8. What do humans born in the United Kingdom find funny? British humour usually includes sarcasm, self-deprecation and deadpan delivery – innuendo is also used. Almost no subject is too rude or taboo. Here are some examples of British TV sitcoms: Absolutely Fabulous, Blackadder, Fawlty Towers, One Foot in the Grave, Miranda, Only Fools and Horses, The Good Life, The Office, The Mighty Boosh, and Green Wing.
9. A spoonerism is when you move consonant or vowel sounds around to produce different words. For example, rather than saying “a cosy little nook” you say “a nosey little cook”. Another example would be: “blew his nose” to “knew his blows”. Spoonerisms are either deliberate (when used for humorous effect) or accidental. The name comes from the Reverend William Spooner in Oxford who would often confuse sounds when speaking.
