what was the phrase said at 13 seconds.?

[OUlearn]

The phrase says "The English language begins with the phrase 'up yours Caesar'"

[LeiaAlexis]

Lol, typical American... you came in at THE END of WW2 yet you somehow think you won it by yourselves... you say that us English dont have an Identity (which I guess is true considering we are made up of many nationalities).. yet are you seriously that stupid in believing that Americans have an identity ?? If your black then you came from Africa and if your a white American then if you trace your family back you will see that you decend mainly from Europe. No wonder we think Americans are dumb.

Well I'm obviously not aiming my comment at every single American in the world, many Americans are level headed, and I'm not a moron.

I'm aiming my comment at the Americans that think they're Gods gift to man.

[LeiaAlexis]

I would love you to find an example of this.. because it just sounds like you're making excuses to try and flip it round. I'm having a go at the Americans on YT that think they're King of the World....don't start trying to then have a go at the English by claiming we are the ones at fault, just because I made a comment you dont like, and I happen to be English.

[Matthew Hargis]

I find the English to be more likely to think that they're superior to everyone else. They just like to pretend that it is typical to hear Americans speak like this, when in reality it is the other way around.

[jbishop1101]

That is not typical Americans... Not all of us make the mistake of thinking we are superior to everyone on the planet.
