Wait, if this is the shotgun seat, it would mean the federation adopted left-hand-traffic... ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

Only Picard. He's kinda a teaboo, hence the accent despite living outside LA.

New vocabulary dropped!
Teaboo... :-D

Is this okay to use for non teaboos?

[โ€“] Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

But Picard is a Frenchman speaking with a British accent.
Following the definition, that sounds pretty teaboo to me ;-)

If it was the other way around, he'd be an ouiboo.

Iโ€™m dumb.

Nope, legit question. Asking when not getting something is good practice.
You're good :-)

It's relative to Captain Picard, so it might just be France that adopted left-hand traffic. They got the English accent, they may have gotten their way of driving too.
