Thread Name: not bad for an englishman
Subject: RE: not bad for an englishman
If the person who it is aimed at is not offended maybe?
As an English person (note the political correctness!) I would not have been offended by the comment made to Dick if it were aimed at me.....I would laugh.
However I wouldn't use the other phrases you list (way) above..... unless I knew the other wouldn't be offended, i.e. I knew the person extremely well.
Choose your own position on this one really.....
