Oh yeah, been on the other end of that spectrum too, having to be the listener.

ignoring hypothetical health concerns and the like, would you prefer to:
a) eat the last of your favourite tasting, single ingredient food to ever exist
or
b) eat only your favourite tasting single ingredient food for the rest of your life without exception?

i have no idea why this popped in my head…
Definitely a. Better to remember something fondly than to learn to hate it.

Wait, Birth of the Hitman was a piece of shit from the beginning, except for that cover artwork that was vaguely based on the Codename 47 promo render with 47 and this gargoyle-thingy

Yeah, I remember Hitman as a series fondly, until they wrote that damn thing and had to make H2 and 3 follow it.

To everyone who speaks the Kings English: why do the British F1 announcers always say crash helmet instead of just helmet?

Perhaps they are distinguishing between helmets made to protect someone from a crash, and helmets meant to protect someone from a bullet in combat? Only reason I can think of.

That was what I assume too but it’s auto racing. The drivers all wear the same kind of helmet.
It would be like if the NFL announcers kept saying “football helmet” during the game. The players are all wearing the same kind. You can just say helmet.

Maybe it’s trademarked and they have to say it for rights reasons? Straws being grasped at this point. It’s probably just the usual fucked up eay of speaking that nobody thinks about.

No way 
there are actually 3 companies that make the things and one super complicated situation where one driver is signed as a sponsor from company 1 but their team aerodynamasist likes the way the other companies helmet works better so he wears a mis labeled helmet. Kinda like if you wore Nike shoes made by Reebok.
It’s just part of the way they speak the language, but I’m curious if it’s unique to F1 or if a Brit on the street might say bicycle helmet or construction helmet instead of just helmet.

i don’t know, maybe because helmet on its own is a colloquial term for one’s penis tip or glans?
fun fact time! in the uk, the glans are also commonly referred to as a:
- bellend
- meat ram
- pope hat
- greasy spoon
- his saintly glory
- shatner’s bassoon
- tom thumb
- cardinal lady thumper
- the spartan horn dog emporium
- mr quidditch’s wild tangerine ride

I knew there was something behind it. We don’t use that word to mean that stateside.
