I'm English. We're about as tactful as a hot poker up the bum, most of the time.

About This Quote

The English are renowned for their frankness, bluntness, and tendency to speak without thinking. These are typically viewed as very good qualities in a person. A hot poker up the bum is not something that would be said by someone of great class. It also goes against the English stereotype of being somewhat reserved.
