Local language & terminology - Can be very confusing

Well the yanks can just go and f*ck themselves!!!!!

You'd have thought even the most egotistical nation on Earth would have the humility to accept that the English know more about the English language than they do!

But no - they have to meddle.

I mean honestly - what do they call an elephant's nose? A car boot?

And fancy naming all the poofs "fags", when all the yanks seem to do is stuff their gobs full of them.

Why is it that they thought it would be fantastic to alter the spelling of "colour" to "color"? Is the use of a "U" simply too vexing for the natives of the good old US of A, or is it merely too much hassle to bother their idle little fingers?

Why do these people refer to petrol as "gas" when it is quite clearly a liquid? Gasolene - NO! It's f*cking PETROLEUM! Yes it is GASEOUS (it gives off gasses), but it's still a fricking LIQUID!!!!!!
FFS - is hot TEA a gas!?! - NO!
Hot lemon? - NO!
Surely the silly a*ses would have been a lot better calling it "vapor"!?! But there again - the yanks don't HAVE the word "vapor". They thought they'd p*ss me off and do without it!

Why doesn't the peasant-brained Texan toss-bucket and his electorate correct these gargantuan and blatently obnoxious errors forthwith, and stop being a nation of control freaks?

Oh, and while you're at it, Bush - they're called BISCUITS, NOT f*cking COOKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:











































:D  (Just for you Dawson!!!!!)

About the double R, it's quite easy once you learn to put the tongue in the correct place, you must put the front part of your tongue 1 cm above the back part of the teeth, and make it vibrate. It has nothing to do with the simple R, in which your tongue actually touches your teeth.

Another letter you might have problems with is J, as you must use the throat and you don't use it in english . It's like when you want to spit something you have in the throat :laugh:

American English and British English is like Latin American Spanish and Spanish from Spain.

For instance there are two ways to say i.e. Dormir[to sleep] in the ''we'' form. In most Latin American countries people say ''dormimos'' but in Spain ''dormisteis' is said instead.

Coming from and working in Gloucestershire (Cheltenham - posh bit) I used to play Youth football with a couple of lads from a town called Cinderford in the Forest of Dean (six tooed, wooly back, my youve got a pretty mouth type of country) their equivalent to mate/friend in the forest is SHAG.

So walking into to the office every morning I get to say good morning SHAG to all the women, soon get sacked in any other part of the country.

So when you are out tonight try using SHAG as a term of endearment see how far you get

:D

Oh forgot, for those of you not from good old blighty the definition of SHAG in most parts of the country is To have Sex With e.g. Do you fancy a SHAG.
