Nuts, bonkers,
and do Americans have lollies or sweets?
we call 'em suckers!
we also have Soda, Soda Pop, Pop, Coke (as in "Pepsi Coke" or "7up Coke") and fizzy water.
And we call those softdrinks
We say 'crazy' in England too. The one that always fascinates me is how the English must have just as many words for 'drunk' (trollied, tipsy, hammered, bladdered, sloshed, inebriated... and tons more) as the Eskimos have for snow. Getting plastered is obviously a very popular pursuit here!
my Britt ex used to say she went out with her friends and got pissed with her friends, and I would ask why she was upset because it sounded like they had a good time.
That and "are you staying for tea?" took me a while to figure out they were not offering me a cup of tea.
Well, Canadians get it from both sides, we study British English and watch American TV.
Americans and the British; two cultures seperated by a common language. :)
and the capacity to sit still for an omnibus of "East Enders".
And those long sandwhiches can be Subs, Submarines, Hoagies, Heroes, Grinders, PoBoys, Torpedos, Wedges, Gatsbies, Zeppelins, and I'm sure several other regional variations even before we tack on ethnic subvarieties.
The thing to keep in mind that is the geographic regions where those terms are the most commonly used are each, in and of themselves, bigger than the entire U.K. (or, for that matter, most of the nations in the European Union. The prevasiveness of national televsion and radio broadcasts have greatly reduced the use of strictly regional names over the last forty years, but prior to that, it was pretty common for each region to have terms that were completely alien to someone from the other side of the country.
Americans can do that?
Wow, they're crazy. :)
Two was the norm because typewriters had fixed spacing. One works because word processors/computers use proportional typefaces.
And then there are American chips, which my English friends tell me are actually crisps. Because of course, chips come with fish.
In some parts of Boston's North End, you have gravy with your spaghetti. In Texas, you have gravy with your biscuit (or your chicken fired steak, or even more odd, your chicken fired chicken (not making this up).
That gravy in Boston is red and is what most of the country calls spaghetti sauce. In Texas the gravy is white and is what most places in the US consider "Chicken" gravy.
So what has this thread turned into?
.... eh, forget it. All is pointless in this, methinks...
At least our jokes are funny to us.
That would be Jell-O.
The "animal" can vary, of course. It's all dem bones. One assumes Soylent Green is just hardened Jell-O that's been left out for too long. I once watched a video of it being made. (Oh wait, that was a movie...)
And, that would be Dr Who (though the full official name is Doctor Who). In Britain there's still a shortage of full stops, so they ration them.
The real mystery is how the Brits get whilst out of while.
Pudding, would that be rice pudding, tapioca pudding, suet pudding, steamed pudding, steak and kidney pudding, black pudding, christmas pudding, bread pudding, bread and butter pudding ....... hmm I haven't found one yet made of jello, which I assume is you equivalent of Jelly, and what we call jam is what you call jelly and I am getting confuzzled.
Don't forget Yorkshire pudding. Which is made from... um... Yorkshire.
You mean the Terriers? Isn't that just... wrong???
The terriers are fine. The shepherds in the pie... maybe not so much!
I hope you mean the dogs... because eating a human Shepherd is illegal I think. Actually... eating the dog might be too. But that could depend on the country...
Best avoid eating either one I say!
Why did he agree on getting in the pie in the first place?!?
It was a condition of a Daz sale. 'Lie down in one pie and get another one FREE!* (*Items must both be in the oven simultaneously).
Yes, Jello is gelatin or what the UK (and OZ and NZ) call a jelly. Howevetr, what we call jelly isn't always what the UK calls Jam. In the UK, a product must be at least 60% sugar to be called Jam. In fact, what we call Jam is pretty much what the UK calls Jam, with jelly being a wider class that incluldes sugarless, non-sweet and savory varieties. Marmalade is still Mamalade, though, and "Fruit Preserves" is the term for jellies that have a larger proportion of actual pulped fruit in the mix.
Shouldn't the advertisement have been 'Breathe life into 3D'....not 'breath'? That's two wrong words in the ad. Maybe it was on purpose?
I have a short list of misused words that drive me crazy too. Can you spot them?
It's better to loose your money then to loose your mind.
Your going to be in big trouble if father sees you.
For who the bell tolls.
To girls went too the store and were gone for two long.
There really upset with they're mother.
I wanted to see the affect of the effect.
Ok, so I misuse 'who' and 'whom' sometimes. We all make mistakes. Some are accidental and some we don't know any better. Just think that a large company should have better controls in place.
Four and twenty blackbirds
In Texas you can have gravy with just about anything, but there are multiple varieties with white, brown, redeye, pork, sausage and jalapeno being the most common. And the reason there's a "chicken fried chicken" is because there are multiple types of frying. Chicken fried steak and chicken fried chicken are breaded and/or battered and then cooked via immersion in a deep fat fryer, resulting in a crispy, crackling crust whereas oven-fried or pan-fried steak or chicken is more lightly breaded and cooked in a metal pan in an oven or stove. There are propnents for the virtues of each version, but the deep fried version was used with chicken first, so that technique became known as chicken fried. As for spaghetti sauce... there are dozens of different regional variations there, with most being spice level variations on the basic marinara and bolognese and the most extreme probably being Cincinati's version, which is closer to chilli in taste and texture and served with beens, chopped onions and shaded cheddar cheese, (And let's not even get into the variations of chilli or barbeque....)
Mmmm. Pie. I'll be heading to Oz at the end of august so I'll finally be able to have a decent pie and sausage roll again.
I never knew there were so many ways to spell 'definitely' in the wrong way until I started going online. The internet has been a real education. As for misused words, my favourite was in an article directory piece about lighting which mentioned a lamp that would gently 'eliminate' any home. I think I'll stick to lamps that illuminate for mine :)
With improper wiring, eitehr one is perfectly accurate.
