The #BritishSexPositions Hashtag Is Bloody Brilliant

The British are often perceived as having a bit of a stiff upper lip — in other words, they can be slightly more restrained than your average loud and proud American. But though they may not be so forthcoming, they are certainly not lacking in the biting wit department. Their dry humor found a perfect target when the #BritishSexPositions hashtag started trending on Twitter, and even when Brits are sharp of tongue, they keep it clever and classy, pinkies out and all. For the most part. Read our roundup of some of the funniest tweets we could find.
