I don't think this is a joke.

Pretty sure it's spelled "jouke", you ignorant Yankee.

I'm pretty sure it's spelled "ignourant," you dirty rebel.

Yeah, no, I don't think so either. It did feel like it would cause a similar groaning reaction, though.

My guess is that it's about Brits tending to stick "u's" in places where Americans don't (like "colour" or "favour").

My guess is that it's about Yanks tending to remove "u's" in places where Britons don't (like "colour" or "favour").

One, two, three four - listen to my botty roar! Five, six, seven eight - now we should evacuate!

4 = four

40 = forty (and the only number spelled out is in alphabetical order)
