i know we all use english here but there are some
words that are different
a fag; is a cigarette
faggot; is a large meat ball
a rubber; is for eraseing pencil lines
these are the ones i know are there any others

SUSPENDERS are for holding a mans trousers up,
GARTERBELTS (or me ) are for holding up ladies silk stockings.

one of the funniest things I have heard at work was when our new manager explained that one of the engineers was not present at the meeting because "he stepped outside to pinch a fag"... the poor guy bumming the cigarette off his co-workers was in for some really interesting looks upon arriving a few minutes later.

Can't remember the name of the guy, British singer, on his 1st visit to NYC, got on an elevator, pulled out a cigarette, and asked the other person, "Mind if I light up a fag on the lift?"
...got a very strange look...

Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level, & beat you with experience.

"Americans say 'erb', and we say 'herb', because there's a fucking H in it."

well the pronounciation of oregeno usually confuses me watching american shows

they pronounce it or-egg-eno and it is pronounced or-ee-garno here and how does alu min ium become al oo minum ?????

or a water tap a fawcett. A roundabout on a road a circle drive?
(If you want to drive in circles go to Canberra, Australias National Capital our Washington DC, it is so bloody round you get dizzy LOL)

one things that cracks the brits up when they come to australia is what is sometimes called durex in Australia (sticky tape) apparently durex is a common term for condom in Britain

the bathroom is where you go to have a shower or bath. damned if I'll have anyone taking a leak in my bathroom!

I think "arse" came about because some sites filter out "ass" Just like on some sites or chats I used "secks" for "sex" or "phuck" for "fuck" LOL List goes on and on and on.

meals for me are either:
breakfast/brunch
lunch
sex
dinner

Sex has been missing from the menu for quite a while LOL.

A lot of commonly mistaken words could be "restroom", "water closet" and as stated "bathroom". To some, a restroom is somewhere like a lounge of sorts...a place to go rest. I have no clue why some calls the pisser a water closet though lol. I call it bathroom or toilet. A friend called it water closet in Germany and the lady gave him a weird look Was funny as hell LOL

Another is the word "pissed". Being american, this means angry to me. Say it in England and they think you mean drunk off yer ass. More England words... bisquit which is a cookie to us 'mericans. And I think their cookie is our bisquits lol. I have a british female friend, I swear, I think she makes up words as she goes roflmao!
