I have it's usually to try and be clever or assert authority. Easily slapped down though Canadians and not known for being sharp witted.

Someone or Something save America.

Surely this title God save America is offensive to atheists, women, trans gendered persons and persons of colour?

Why does it have to be God?

I have been called a Limey both in Canada and the USA. Normally its only when I have been taking the piss out of both of their countries.
