I always find it interesting that although Americans and Brits share the same language, our humor is so divergent.

There's plenty of divergence within the UK. This particular insult is only known outside of Scotland because of Twitter.

Bit of a stretch to say it's only down to Twitter.

I take it you have never been to Northern Ireland.

Well, I've never been insulted by a Northern Irish 8 year-old!
