Britsceptic

Does not seem to appear in the "Cambridge Dictionary". DTLHS (talk) 18:11, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

I would also like some explanation of the given def "sceptical of the United Kingdom". What does that mean? Specifically Brexit? or the EEC in the 1990s? or...? or just thinking that England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland can't co-exist? Considering the original entry said "a person or people" (no understanding of singular/plural) I think this was just a drive-by moron. Equinox ◑ 18:21, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

And just to be extra fun let me remind the room that Britain and the UK aren't the same thing. Donnanz got my back. Equinox ◑ 18:22, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

I'm pleased you didn't refer to Great Britain. DonnanZ (talk) 18:35, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

I mostly call it "Cool Britannia". Equinox ◑ 05:18, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

Perhaps a "Britsceptic" looks at the UK in the same way that normal people look at the notion of Bigfoot? ;-) Tharthan (talk) 10:31, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

I haven't seen Britain in a few years, you can't convince me it's still there. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. — Mnemosientje (t · c) 10:50, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

I think there is sufficient secondary evidence to include it as a reconstructed form *Britain. Vox Sciurorum (talk) 12:17, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
