No, I didnt know that 'bErk' is short for Berkshire Hunt, I'll have to tell my sister that, she calls her son one!

Also, Im having a bit of a problem with this thread... True, some of what is written here is slang in this country, some though, like these...

spot (pimple)
ginger hair (red hair)
boot (trunk of car)
windscreen (windshield of car)
footpath (sidewalk)

are just a different way of saying things. It's not slang!!!

Americans always find it so inspiringly hilarious when you use the expression "to shag a bird" in front of them. Barmy.

I love it when Americans try 2 pronounce places in the UK.

Leceister is pronounced 'Lester'

Not Lie-chest-err

That's funny, I was once asked what train this American guy needed to catch to go to Loogabarooga.

He meant Loughborough

Do our American friends know what "The Bollocks" means?

Well if something is good it is "The Bollocks".

If something is very good it is "The Absolute Bollocks"

However if you think someone is telling porkies then you might say "That's bollocks"

Oh BTW "Porkies" are lies

Bollox is a grrreat word!

cool - wicked

dude - geezer

jerk off - wank

apartment - flat

color - colour


i'll be back with more.

i'm paticularly going mental with all this at the moment because i'm working in london and new york and it all gets garbled after a while.

also let us not forget all the other english speaking countries in the world like south africa , australia , new zealand , canada , ireland , etc. they have their own versions of all of the words of all of the posts above.

Jumper (sweater or sweatshirt)
Rubbish bin (garbage can)
Lolli (popcicle)
Knackered (tired)

We call them trainers actually. At least we can spell centre, and colour.

You got it wrong, its bollix, if you want maximum impact.

Corn = money
Score = 20
Colonial = American, Australian, etc.

John Todger = penis

And if your English, you will find "Matron, take them away" funny.

Australians would think "spunk" is an outgoing person and Americans think "fanny" is someones arse.

cuppa...

'..having you on...'

More to the point: WTF with US slang!

Anyone else remember "Peggy Wanker" in 'Married with Children"? It brought the house down in NZ Actually I think these Brit phrases are gradually infiltrating US culture, thanks to abominable films like 'Austin Powers'. I remember (I think) a student pub in Stonybrook called 'The Wanker's Arms'. And some Americans even like cricket!

Sometimes referred to as "The dog's bollocks" or I guess "the absolute dog's bollocks"

I actually saw a bottle of beer (lager) in NY called Wanker and it had a pic of some top totty on the label

I'll tell my cousin I want a case of 'Wanker beer' for Christmas!! Now, if we could only turn the Yanks on to "Bottom" (the TV show). Perhaps there are some things they'll never really 'get'.

My absolute fav. flabbergasted . you can even say this word when you're pissed (although you might produce a little spittle doing that)

Just try saying "unhindered swiftness" with a mouthful of Heinikin!
