what you meant to say was it's bathroom, not toilet.

I think its well ironic now americans are using English slang on this forum.

I told my American cousin that sometimes up here we say "ta" instead of "thanks".

He said it sounded gay.

Not to say Americans are closed minded or bigoted or owt (there I go again).

i say ta. i don't think it sounds gay at all!

[hera]

yeah it does.

you can still hang out with me.

[two oh one]

I think it's worse when I go back to England and somebody with a thick *insert region here* accent says 'ass' instead of 'arse' and then proceeds to insert a lot of valley girl 'likes' into their sentence. Yeeps.

But the thing is, it aint a bathroom. It's a fucking toilet.

"Like" is very infectious. I even have to stop myself from saying it all the time. It's pretty much become the new "ehhh" or "ummm", when you're thinking of the next thing to say.

Before you know it, all words will cease to exist, and we'll only communicate using "like"

"Like like like like like. Like like"
"Like like like, like like. Like like like like?"

[gravious]

i never got "trainers".

First designed as training shoes. Hence trainers.

In America however, sports training was eschewed in favour of sneaking about. Hence sneakers.




To be honest the only thing that genuinely annoys me about American spelling is that it the reforms made make NO sense!
Fair enough, loads of English words are spelt stupidly. But most of the Americanized versions are just as bad!

e.g. "Colour" -> "Color" when both are pronounced "CULL-Err"

They had a good chance to change the language positively, but fucked it up.
Oh well.


I think that Americans should keep using the word "fanny" though. Especially in the phrse "fanny-pack"....

hahahahahah. Best phrase ever

Yeah, exactly! It's infectious. I've so much time around valley people that I had to force myself to stop saying 'like' and replace it with a less stupid sounding 'erm'.

Overuse of 'Like' makes even the brainiacs I know sound as if they spend their weekends at shopping malls and frozen yoghurt emporiums.

When I first moved over here, the receptionist at my previous-previous company cheerfully told me and everybody else that she went rollerblading and fell on her fanny, which made it sore.

I literally spat my coffee out of my nose because I didn't realise at the time that a Yank fanny was different to an English one.

[rickyricardo]

K...you're gonna have to fill me in. What is a Brit "fanny", then?

In England, it's a whoopsie front bum.

I thought she was rollerblading and fell on her vag, making it sore.
