(Anonymous) 2012-10-15 01:14 am (UTC)(link)It's intensely aggravating to suddenly have British slang creep into American characters' speech when Brits get so uppity about the opposite. You'd think they'd take the time to find a beta.
The context was that Brits tend to pitch a fit about AmE slang creeping into speech but turn around and use BrE in American characters' speech. Because it's hypocritical, it actually fits the original meaning of uppity quite well, although I meant it in its current meaning. Uppity is currently a direct synonym of arrogant or self-important in AmE. You can't necessarily use the etymology of a word to determine its current meaning or "lousy", "cracking", "jolly", "cool", "gay", and "bloody", to name a few, wouldn't make any sense.
