There is no such thing as a "British accent" - Britain is made up of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. There are literally hundreds of different accents spoken across the whole of the British Isles. The accent that people are most commonly referring to when they say "British accent" is an accent spoken in some parts of south east England.
The south east accent is the one most frequently heard outside of Britain in the media and in films (curse you Hugh Grant!) so people don’t really hear many different accents from across the British isles which has led to the stereotyping of the "British accent".
Hugh Grant, Austin Powers, that guy in Oceans 11 (Worse "british accent" impression EVER).

Any who doesn't live in England who constantly tosses common Britishisms into their chat, Live Journal, comments, ect. in an attempt to make themselves appear more worldly than they actually are. In other words, ANY American who uses the words arse, bollocks, wanker or snarky when they've never set foot outside of their beloved Wisconsin/New Jersey, much less the United States.
A Britishism whore will oftin write in their LJ about the ROW they had with one of their ex-MATES when she requested the font on her LJ be more readable, "...but she just couldn't be ARSED to change it! She is, FULL STOP, a stupid RUDDY COW! Urh, puts me into a RIGHT SNARKY mood!"
Potter Heads, LOTR fans, the occasional Emo kid, a great deal of Mods and a surprising number of self-proclaimed "Grammar Nazis" are guilty of being blatant Britishism Whores. This special breed of whore incites allot of amusement from those who can see right through them (everyone.)
Riboflavin went secretly apeshit over the term Britishism Whore and promptly deleted it, because it was too revealing of her true whore-y self.
Riboflavin: this article is shit! *stamps foot* I said it was shit and it still is! Waaaaah! I'm gonna go WANK in my little Internet corner! * wangst wangst wangst*
Zuniga: Er...yeah...

BP for short. They are the English company responsible for the 2010 Gulf of Mexico disaster resulting in the worst oil spill in history.
British Petroleum will never be able to tell us how many millions of gallons (or barrels) of crude oil have spilled and poisoned the Gulf waters which will ultimately have negative long-term affects for many years and generations to come.

A British prep is different to their American equivalent. Rather than wearing tracksuits and Abercrombie and Fitch t shirts, the British Prep tends to opt for Brogues or plimsoles, Polo shirts, Tank tops and chinos. These are usually bought from Ralph Lauren and such. British preps almost always go to private schools and enjoy pastimes such as yachting, golf, tennis, badminton, polo and going to the races.
British Prep 1- Ya, I just arrived back from Gordonstoun, daddy and I are about to go feed the horses
British Prep 2- Nice, I'm off to Jack Wills, fancy getting out of the house wearing my new RL
British Prep 1- Coolness, have fun, Love ya!!!
British Prep 2- Love ya too babe!!!

A smile of crooked, stained, yellow teeth; originating from the stereotype of Brits having bad teeth
American: Hey hey hey, Brit.
Englishman: 'Ello, love. *grins*
American: You know, I think I know the perfect dentist to take care of that British smile of your's.

People that come from the countries England, Scotland and Wales.
NOT as many Americans seem (incorrectly) to think another name for people from England.
And also we don't all drink tea, and we don't all hate Americans!
American: 'Oh look there is a British person '
Girl: 'I'm ENGLisH!!!'
