Brits

NewChapter

I have been in the habit of calling British people Brits. I don't do this perjoratively, or with any negative connotation. But recently I saw a comment by an English person who disliked the term. So my question. Is it rude to refer to British people as Brits---and I just don't know this, or was it just this person's personal peeve?

I hear Americans called Yanks---and it never even made me blink an eye.

So I'm not sure---and almost used the term Brits a minute ago and edited to say British people. So tell me----is it offensive? Is there another term that is more polite? DO YOU HATE ME?

Thank you.

Brits is fine by me. I'm English, you may find the people who object more are the English/Irish/Scottish/Welsh nationalists.

I think they prefer United Kingdomers...I think their city council meet in a Kingdom Hall.

I'm an English Brit and I certainly don't hate you NewChapter

Brit is just an abbreviation of the word British so I don't see how anyone could be offended by the term.
