Requests: Femmy video links and Britglish query

  1. So, don't know if anybody remembers the Big Old Table of History Songs that I asked for help with a long, long time ago? The one that ended up having (gulp) 86 songs?

    I just saw this (NWS!!) video the other day, immediately thought of sharing it here, then realized that it's hardly the first woman-centred video I've linked to from here. Decided to see what else I'd posted. Found a few. Then wanted to find more.

    Not all of these videos are entirely positive wrt the entirety of women, but all of them (IMHO) at least give you something to think about, even if you disagree in part with the message or the messenger.



    (list of characters/sources here)


    So... any suggestions to add to the list? They don't have to be All Women Are Wonderful Just the Way They Are. Just -themed.

  2. The other day I got a very nice review which ended with, Though don't think Brits would say "You're taking the piss!" More something like "you're kidding me!" or "you're joking!"

    I don't think I've ever seen or heard of the expression outside of the Harry Potter fandom, and Wikipedia, Wikrionary, World Wide Words and "T" all list it as a UK colloquialism, but is it actually not used in Britglish?
