What the Hell does "Snogging" mean?

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."

And of course what you Americans call a bicycle, over here we call a spazzwanker.

WHY??

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

And pants are underwear.

lol seriously?

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!

Trousers, jeans...

And of course what you Americans call a bicycle, over here we call a spazzwanker.

Absolutely and when you visit London be sure to ask where you can hire a Boris Spazzwanker

making out.

LITERALLY WHAT I THINK EVERY TIME I HEAR THAT WORD.

Okay I didn't read all the pages so I apologize if this was addressed but.... if pants are underwear what are knickers?

I didn't read all the pages yet either but knickers are also underwear just the girly variety.

Cheers (see I'm learning the slang)

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

I'm slightly disappointed your name isn't RaspberryKeytoneBondage as I first read it.

:noway:

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

My absolute favorite UK term is "muppet."

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

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

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

What you call pantyhose we call tights

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