Sorry, but no. Those terms are not uncommon in the NorthEast. Especially around youth soccer pitches.

And I've heard 'conceeded a goal' many times by hockey pundits and announcers.

[Imran Siddiqui]

I don't see how I'm pwned.

You're a Kiwi... HAW HAW!

You're a Kiwi... HAW HAW!

Our team sucks, but at least we don't **** sheep.

[Imran Siddiqui]

You're from NZ... of course you **** sheep!

[Agathon]

Then we sell them as meat to Americans.

Happy eating.

[Imran Siddiqui]

That's why we cook them very well before we consume them, thank you .

[Agathon]

We wee in everything too.

We are sick.

Help us...

[Imran Siddiqui]

At least you aren't as bad at the Brits .

[Agathon]

Yeah.. bunch of soapdodgers.

[Imran Siddiqui]

At least they got rid of terraces. Seated stadiums are the best remedy to hooliganism.

I said Northeasterners, not New Englanders... New York and New Jersey aren't in New England. And it ain't a matter of 'sounding elitist', it's the way we talk, surfer dude .

"conceded a goal" doesnt sound uniquely English at all

[Imran Siddiqui]

It isn't. LoA is just confused to the hilt.

[Maquiladora]

"fooking" certainly does, "had a stormer against you guys" sounds like someone who deserves a kicking.

Nearly as bad as US commentators calling a throw-in a "line-out".
