why do you park on driveways but drive on parkways? :lol:

 

UK and US, two countries divided by a common language

ok, not to be rude or anything but, what about Fags in england? doesnt that mean ciggarette or something? :lol: :D :o ;)

omg i forgot that one

 

in UK "im gonna smoke a fag" = Im going to smoke a cigarette

in US "im gonna smoke a fag" = Im going to shoot a gay man

 

lol that always cracks me up

 

we call it fags yes, it comes from medieval times, in the south west of England there are pete bogs (dead vegitation rotting causing natural fertiliser) and medieval people used to dry out weeds from these bogs and smoke them (this is before tobacco was introduced in the UK) the names of these weeds, it was vag...vag got warped through time to become fag, and thats why we still use it today :)

:idea2:

I say color :)

chips do not come in a foil bag :angry:

 

Oh YES they do! :lol:

 

What's with the word "schedule". My brother say that they correct his English when talks over there.

 

Why is fanny so rude?

Fanny is the front part of a woman. :confused:

(my parents are british, so i know these things lol, plus people say it here as well...well not really anymore but they used to!)

UK smart = elegant

Us smart = pretty damn wise

 

there`s a lot of differences between brittish english and american english.

In US Schedule = shed-ule

In UK schedule = sked-ule

 

i think thats the way round it goes UK speech is geting warped due to programs like friends....for example i now say harrass, like an american, but in UK it's pronounced Harris, but still spelt harrass :/

lol @ Ian and his foil bag

 

:lol:

:o

Do Americans actually pronounce it schedule?

I didn't realise that lol

I say s-k-edule.

In US Schedule = shed-ule

In UK schedule = sked-ule

 

i think thats the way round it goes UK speech is geting warped due to programs like friends....for example i now say harrass, like an american, but in UK it's pronounced Harris, but still spelt harrass :/

 

hmm i didn`t realize that.

Its COLOUR!!!! :angry: :angry: :angry: :P
