Brit culture / Living in the UK


This was an interesting piece of UK trivia. Always wondered why the clocks didn't tell the time.
 
Someone posted that when the British say: ‘You’re brave’ it means ‘You’re an idiot.’, and ‘Interesting’ means ‘I hate it but won’t say it.’

True?

Not necessarily on the brave part but more or less when it comes to "interesting".

Interesting is what you'd say in response to something when you don't really know what to say - or a polite way of saying you think has just been said is a bit wild/strange/wrong
