And then there's sex, which is called "shagging".
:laugh:0 -
And pants are underwear.
lol seriously?
I find that when I lived in england pants were trousers and living in scotland pants are underwear
Not where I am in England - pants are underwear It seems to vary by region.
It always amuses me that Australians call flip-flops 'thongs', as thongs are a specific type of underwear to Brits. No idea what the American position is on this.0 -
I joke with my British friends that I need the Rosetta Stone for English in order to understand what they're saying.:laugh:
That's just cold, man. Cold I say!0 -
In the UK, fanny is slang for vagina. Be wary!!
I was waiting on someone saying that!!
Me to, always makes me smile when I hear fanny packs mentioned on American shows, I always think, no it's a bum bag and so 1980's too.0 -
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 purposely ordered my copies of the books from Britain due to this0 -
There's a good list here for those that want more British slang: http://www.effingpot.com/slang.shtml
Which reminds me that *kitten* is a 4 letter word here.0 -

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")?
We Just call them trousers. If the person is wearing jeans then we call them jeans. It's pretty funny for us when Americans refer to trousers as pants haha0 -
Couple more:
on the p*ss / on the lash: going out to get exceedingly drunk
knackered: rather tired
miffed: a tad annoyed
fit: sexually attractive often used in the sentence "fit as a butcher's dog..."
Knickers in a twist - to get one’s feathers ruffled
Throw a wobbly - when you refer to someone who has just got their knickers in a twist’ and become even madder about whatever it was they got their knickers in a twist about
Hammered - really really drunk after going out on the piss
Skint - Run out of money usually to being hammered after going out on the piss0 -
Some of you people are having a giraffe, surely?0

snogging is kissing , shagging is having sex. Hood of a car is the bonnet and trunk of the car is the boot0

Lets not mix cockney ryming slang into the british language for our american friends... What I love is, when I speak to an american on say the playstation etc.. and they say to me "Learn to speak english..." Can you explain how that works? as you took our language and you use it lazy?0

Ahh what the Americans call Pants, we Brits call Trousers!
Please feel free to question any other slang and i will dutifully respond
p.s as other people have said already, snogging is so much more than a kiss, I would definiately translate to making-out also!0 -
Sack/bag of wank = A load of rubbish
Nosh = *kitten*
Chips = fries
Crisps = chips
Jelly = jello
Jam = jelly0 -
Generic 'pants' as you would call them, Brits call trousers.
These can of course be categorised into jeans, slacks, chinos, etc. etc.
thanks Karen!0 -

And where you're from, every c**t uses the c word with reckless abandon!
In my experience the C word is considered very offensive in the UK, a colleague once used it in an outburst and there was an obvious gasp from everyone is earshot. Myself and people I know don't use it, in less someone is really really really really angry/outraged/fuming!0
