I've heard the term used a lot on British movies/shows and I'm not sure what it means.

Translate anyone?

    Kissing, in more of a "making out" sense of the word.

    It's kissing.

    My husband is from England and when we were first married, I had a difficult time understanding some of the slang.

    Snogging = making out

    Hope this thread won't be taking the piss out of us Brits :wink:

    Apparently, they changed some of the language in HP books for the US and took out a lot of the British slang. That makes me so sad. I want the Brit versions! I understand all that.

    I even know that "cheers" means "thanks." :-)

    I joke with my British friends that I need the Rosetta Stone for English in order to understand what they're saying.:laugh:

    Its a funny word... doesn't sound sexy, sounds like something that might happen when you have cold.

    If you just watch a ton of British TV you'll get it down. Context helps a lot!

    It's a bit more than a kiss - it's a smoochy kiss!

    You don't snog your kids or your gran :smile:

    Yes, seriously.

    So what do you call what we call pants... do you refer to them by the style (jeans, khakis, etc)? What if you have a collection of different styles, how do you refer to the group (ie "Can you put these pants in the washer")?

    I am American, so I am the "we" in this situation.

    I actually don't know the answer to that. Slacks, maybe? Or possibly by the style. I'm sure a kind Brit will come along to help us!

    Agreed. Same with reading a bit of British (contemporary) fiction.

    Generic 'pants' as you would call them, Brits call trousers.

    These can of course be categorised into jeans, slacks, chinos, etc. etc.

    A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones is making me quite fond of that word.

    Not everyone and I personally don't like or use the word c**t as it can be offensive

    We tend to refer to them by the style: jeans, trousers, combats, shorts etc.

    But there are also slang terms such as strides, keks etc.
    And half-masts....an insult to a wearer of trousers of which the leg is too short.

    the answer to that would be Trousers, or shorts, so yeah effectively the type/style of said items
