UK is a class society, US is a melting pot. In order to prevent 
eruptions if discontent an conflict you developed a careful 
politness as safe guards (which somtimes are perceived as 
dishonest, fake, shallow or manipulative by foreigners).

Countries with more homogene cultures can be more rhetorical and 
free speaking, because you have fewer factors to play up to? 
Finns have some fun cuss phrases that would be taken as offensive 
and sexist in the US, but as fun in nordic countries. Does that 
mean that scandinavian cultures are sexist and jerk like?
