      Ok, so for me to quickly get a point across, something that was not aimed at anyone - has somehow influenced you to reply like this and become all grammar police.

      Does it matter? does it make you feel important?

      Aye, it does actually. It gives me a semi, in fact.

      ....so pudding!

      Pudding seems to refer to dessert typically in british fiction, movies and television being inclusive of not just a milk-based chocolate or tapioca pudding, but all desserts.

      In the states, pudding is just ....pudding.

      And to 'queue up' means to get in line, such as when you're at the bank teller.

      ...oh and flip flops/thongs growing up in Southern California were referred to as chanclas.

      Do not use the word "fanny" in Britain. This is a vulgar word for a woman's hoo-ha. But "Fanny " in the USA can be a woman's first name and stated openly on TV.

      And my favorite: If you have "gone rusty" over something, you have become hopelessly and romantically nostalgic over it.

      Y'all say every swear word imaginable on TV! You can't say "fanny"??? We watch Britcoms here every Saturday night and some of them are beeped out for half the freaking show. lol

      Joannah -- Also, in the UK, they call what we call Jell-o, "jelly."

      WHY??

      I mean, "bicycle" makes sense -- two wheels.

      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!

      Trousers, jeans...

      I would call them "trousers".

      They can be called pants or knickers. Sometimes there are two words for the same thing.

      Now you have to define it - or must I google it?

      I presume you're not referring to Kermit or Gonzo.

      Aah, so the taco entendre wasn't just in MY head... Oh I'm so confused.

      I hear muppet and I instantly think of the sketch from the State.

      A Muppet is like an idiot or maybe more a stupid idiot.

      In the states, pantyhose is for nude, sheer stockings whereas tights are thicker and typically opaque.

      Agreed it's a horrible word and shouldn't really be used in any circumstances!!

      Oh I don't know. I'm a Brit, and we use it in my circle ironically, for fun. It amuses us :smile: (Often the best way to reduce the offensiveness of language is to make a joke of it.) For info to Americans and other non-Brits, though it is generally considered an exceptionally offensive word here in the UK, and best avoided.
