2 men removed from United flight from Boston to Chicago
The men were questioned by authorities and returned to the plane, only to be removed again after at least one passenger complained they were acting "suspicious," the passengers said after they arrived at O'Hare International Airport. Spokesmen for the airport and airline declined comment.
But Siok, who also finished the marathon Monday, said he and others began to notice the two men acting "suspicious" after they were allowed back on the plane. The men, who were rows apart, began talking in a different language and apparently using head gestures and their hands to communicate, he said.

Just passing on what I read.

What a relief to know your genes don't carry that recessive socialist trait !
Different language indeed.
That being said, I've heard more Brits complain about the accents of their fellow Brits
than I've heard Americans complaining about the varying accents of their countrymen.
Just sayin' 
That's a tad inappropriate, wouldn't you say?...Or are you so pathetically
elitist, such an Anglophile, you've decided you're not really "one of us", LOL?
You see, dear, if you actually knew anything about Britain, or the language patterns
of cultures, generally, you'd know that EVERY society possesses
a "vernacular", a slang vocabulary, and that it can deviate substantially from the standard.
Maybe checking out the example I gave Lantern Waste will help you understand.
Failing that, I'd suggest you either get out more, or take a Linguistics course.
P. S. The video, accompanied by a suggestion of some need to "understand"
on my part is rich. You see, dear, not only did my Graduate Record Examinations
rank my language skills as superior (92nd percentile) but I've made a successful living as a writer.
Have a nice day. 
I absolutely agree. I have a much easier time at the office understanding my co-workers who have taken ESL courses than I do many of my domestic-born co-workers who speak as if taught English by a trout.
"It's like, uh, y'know... bein' like dissed by y'now, da man. How yew doon?" 
to anyone but certain native peoples indigenous to South Boston.
The use of a rare form of sign language is also commonly practiced among certain groups present among the native peoples indigenous to South Boston.
A good friend of mine is a native of South Boston, and he frequently slips between the English and South Bostonese languages. For some unknown reason, this most often occurs when we are trading beers and shots of tequila in the local cantina.
Sometimes, when no matter how hard I try, I cannot understand what he is saying, I ask his wife, also a dear friend, who understands South Bostonese fairly well, what he is trying to say. Her normal reply to this question is "How the fuck should I know?". Whereupon my friend from South Boston raises his right hand with a South Boston sign language gesture, and the cantinero, a kindly and much loved Mexican man who speaks no English, but who understands a bit of South Bostonese sign language, smiles, and brings us another round.
To all the folks in Boston.
Cheehs!
