Saffire Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 lol yeah its a common word for us :D i say "cheers" alot aswell is that just britain? lol I don't think I've heard "cheers" too much but I bet people say it alot in bars here. Maybe. I like Brit-speak though, it's more varied and emotive. If I were to call someone "daft" here in America they would take it as a serious insult and probably beat me up. Also, you can't say the word "bloody" and not be laughed at here... an American accent pretty much ruins it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraceOddity Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 You don't hear 'daft' as much in Canada as you do in the UK, but 'Cheers' is starting to catch on as a way of saying goodbye like they do in the UK. It usually just means a toast in a bar, but now it's taking on the other meaning a lot more, even in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TraceOddity Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 Nice!:) Unfortunately, I'm on a basic cable budget, so I'm stuck with the baby-food they shove down our throats. Another one that's just so shallow and annoying: "When a man sweats, it's just not sexy." At least we're putting the same unreasonable demands on men that used to be reserved only for women,lol. Now we can ALL be flawless!:P (And hey! Under the right circumstances, a little perspiration's not a bad thing...;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnspieler1012 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Anyone remember the old prethickburger hardees commercials? Worst of all time. Old Navy and target really get on my nerves too. The first is incredibly annoying and tacky, while the second incessantly insists on butchering the beatles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saffire Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Can't afford cable here...:( When I move out I'm not getting cable. It's not worth it, in my opinion, when you can just download all your favorite TV shows on the internet and watch them whenever you want. Or get Netflix.

TraceOddity Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 About all I watch on tv is Jeopardy, the new Law & Order eps and Dexter...ad the occasional late movie. It's really not worth what I'm paying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winigwl Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 the point of a commercial is to advertise a product so if i'm remembering wendy's burgers arent frozen then they are doing their job. one company tried to make the worst commercial for the superbowl knowing people would remember it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works, but it's a sad shift in attitude. Wendy's 'Where's The Beef?' ad campaign back in the 80s was brilliant...annoying, but brilliant,lol.

Hotplay007 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 ^ YUMM! I thought of something simliar to that once. It was about Guy Berryman. I was sitting on my sofa thinking, what if I had a gigantic brownie but painted and looked like Guy Berryman. then, we hit it off. We got married, went to Hawaii for our Honeymoon and eventually had children. He was so nice and boy did he taste good. no i'm not insane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
