I live near Detroit where it's not uncommon to bump in to Brits who work for one of the automotive companies.

The other day I was having breakfast and next to me a table of Brits were getting their food when one guy says, "Mate, there is so much food here, it's gonna take me a fork-knife to eat it all."

So my questions is: Do Brits call sporks "fork-knifes" in England or do they have something like a spork?

>> No.5296059

I'm from england and i've never heard anyone say "fork-knife".

He means the pasta was old and stale, and rather unpalatable.

fork-knife

>> No.5296110

fork knife has to be one of the least funny, most contrived memes ever. I'm convinced it's perpetuated by one who who genuinely believes he's stumbled onto comedy gold and tries it out every few months, hoping it catches on.

copypasta is old and worn out

>> No.5297183

I'm glad everybody in this thread is telling me this is copypasta, because I'd have been mad to find out there's somebody out there who doesn't know what a fortnight is.
