  1.  @Schniedel69  That would be "The United Kingdom Of Great Britain and Northern Ireland". Britain (when not used as a shortening of the above, of course) doesn't even include all of Scotland and Wales. Might not include all of England either, not sure on that one. Definitely doesn't include Northern Ireland. Because Britain is the Island. (and the term 'The British Isles' is sort of a mixed bag when it comes to nationalism, because it is partially derrived from the fact that the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (at the time not only Northern Ireland) owned... Basically all of it... but also because it's an archapelago (not sure on the spelling there), and Britain is the largest island within said geographical feature... which so far as I know has no other name.)

  2. Definitely encountered it elsewhere from channels that did a very good job of the story. I agree that this is the funniest retelling though.
