USA vs UK orgers - Language differences.

just wondering if there's anyone that routinely gets confused by different phrasings or terms people use in their posts.

If i were to say you're a bell end, would the U.S. orgers know what that means?

Any others we could confuse each other with?

and flip it with:

That's THE bollocks!

Ooh, me bollocks!

Pissed, of course has two different meanings.

In the UK, pissed means drunk but in the US, it means angry.

As does 'fanny'. i think there were a few people in 'American Pie: the wedding' thinking the word fanny in one scene meant something else entirely.

Can't remember the scene, they just mentioned 'fanny' 3 or 4 times, which was most amusing.

lol

fanny edit.
