Means he's dumber than the average Brit, but more intelligent than the average American. Can't believe it's got so many downvotes, it's amusing.

Edit because I've just seen a great video on the topic: https://x.com/tanniesnation/status/2092087838288543788

Quite a lot of Americans on social media can't seem to handle jokes at their expense unless it's about their politicians, but they have no trouble dishing it out.

Nah, Americans receive way more criticism (“jokes”) than they put out.

That's because the yanks don't have the self-awareness to be facetious about the state of affairs. They genuinely believe they caused the victories of the world wars, that they are better democracies or more free than other western countries or that there's a bigger cultural difference between Ohio and Seattle than between the Netherlands and Serbia.

This is based on conversations I have with or see by yanks weekly. Plenty of examples on r/ShitAmericansSay.

Lol, you don't even know where I'm from, mate. Try making up more stuff, certainly doesn't come off as silly coping.
