Rogie Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I used the expression 'Johnny Foreigner' in the 'Tourist Court in Pattaya' thread in the main forum. It just came into my head, then afterwards out of curiosity I thought I'd find out more about what it means. I was shocked to come across this: Here, for those with a strong constitution, is an excerpt: "Johnny Foreigner invaded Poland in 1939, starting the Second World War. He did this because the Polish man took his towel off the sun lounger by the pool, which was totally unacceptable and "as everyone knows leaving your towel on a seat means you have reserved it". Johnny Foreigner was only defeated after five years of bloody war, thanks mostly to the stiff upper lip." It goes on to answer such frightful questions as What if I am Johnny Foreigner? How to deal with Johnny Foreigner. Huh! Apologies in advance if you are as shocked as I am. For those with bullet-proof sensibilities here is the link to it . . . http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Johnny_Foreigner But, by then I was hooked, so it was with pounding heart I sought to find out more - this is what I found: http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/File:Big-UK-World-Map.jpg it was then that the penny dropped - countries of the world are no longer coloured in red, except for one small island floating on a sea of nostalgia . . .

TotallyOz Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 "Johnny Foreigners come in many varieties and, as a general rule, they will be wearing a kind of clothing you would not dare to be seen in. They tend to travel in groups and speak in tongues. " I wonder if White Socks would be consistent with this idea of wearing clothing others would not be dare seen in?
