Ok it's time for Mr Erik's English English class! here's a sentence, see if you can decipher it.

I met a bird last night, she was a right munter. I bumped into her in the lift and she gave me the hairly eyeball. I followed her outside, it was pissing it down and she went arse over tit and you could see that she was an aviation blonde. I'd had a skinfull and I felt manky all the next day.

hehe have fun!

Okay, I'll try. "I met a good looking woman last night in the elevator, where she was checking me out (or maybe flashed me?). I followed her outside, where it was raining heavily. She tripped, and you could see that she was a true (or fake?) blond. I got an eyeful, and was horny all the next day."

How'd I do?

oooh I want to try this! ok I met a girl last night and she was drunk (or really hot?) I bumped into her in the elevator and she gave me a dirty look. I followed her outside, it was raining cats and dogs (or pouring out) and she fell down ass over tea kettle and you could see the curtians didn't match the drapes, I got an eyefull and felt bad about it all the next day.

how'd I do?

Not bad at all! The green stuff is correct. Hairy Eyeball usually means staring at you, sometimes in a negative way, also know ans giving you the shit-eye!

munter is an ugly person. The last part of the paragraph, looking back was a bit naughty as it's not really to do with the woman:

I got drunk and felt hungover/rough all the next day.

Very good, I'm impressed. Just munter=ugly and skinfull= drunk & manky = horrible. Everything else was correct.

Do one back, do one back! I want a go! hehe

Great thread. It's amazing Brits and Americans can understand each other at all.

Has anyone mentioned pasties yet?

edit: I'll also add the last time I was in London with the family, we saw a subway entrance and it was just a passageway beneath the street to get to the other side.

Everyone enjoys a good snog. what about: Git numpty barmy berk big girl's blouse oh and you know those English Muffins you have in the US? Yeah, well we don't have those here. Dunno who told you they were called that, but whoever it was must've been yanking your chain.

exactly!

I tend to modify my language a little here to be more understood by the folks from U.S and A

I don't buy my jumper at a shop for instance, I buy a sweater from a store instead

All this lanugage stuff is confusing. Is it too difficult for a Yankee bloke like me to find a hot cheeky babe with big baps and a nice bum to go to the disco with , come back home, do a little snogging and maybe some shagging and enjoy the afteglow in front of the telly?

If an American school sold pasties, the students' parents would have it shut down.

yeah, all those peas and carrots and potatoes mushed in with unidentifiable meat bits, enough to make ANY school shut them down

ok...this is kinda lame..it's harder than I thought it would to try and use so much slang but here goes. So this chooch comes over and asks to bum a butt off me, he hangs around and starts running his yap about how baked he is. I tell him he shouldn't really be blabbing about that cause the cops were just out here. He goes haywire about getting bagged with a pinna once. I told him he was a basket case and should pipe down before he got me in hot water.

Ok here's my attempt:

So this stoner comes over and asks to borrow a cigarette off me, he hangs around and starts banging on about how stoned he is. I tell him he shouldn't really be talking about that cause the police were nearby. He goes haywire about getting arrested with a .... (no idea) ounce? once. I told him he was a nutcase and should shut the fuck up before he got me into trouble.

not sure how I did with a couple of bits there

"England and America are two countries separated by a common language" George Bernard Shaw

I never laughed so hard as when my american sister in-law to be told me she was going to marry my brother in vest and pants.

Vest and pants conjours images of primary school PE lessions when you forgot your gym kit. It ended up being a waistcoat and trouser suit.

Pants, no matter how much i KNOW they are trousers still make me giggle - so purile.

The one with the most disconnected "translation" has to be can I bum a fag - whould you mind giving me a cigarette.
