    Nah, heard that one years ago. Perhaps it hasn't reached as far west as Bris'ol though. If you want a laugh out of the americans on here, give them some bris'ol speak.

    "Where you to?", "Cheers Drive!" and "Alright my luvver?" comes to mind... ;-)

    As an American, I am offended!


    Oh wait, we're really not offended by anything.

    Eh, I take it back.

    America and England...A common culture divided by a common language.

    A few examples from my portion of the United States call Northern Maine in New England.

    "Upon awp a canne a beah four ma!"
    "Open up a can of beer for me"

    "Oh, that's a wicked good set of lights.."
    'She is well endowed in the chest region..."

    And I am sure the English have their own regional dialects other than the well-known and poorly imitated Cockney dialect of London.

    Never cared for the original post's comments though.

    Haha man your so right! Did u reside in Bristol? I have to say Bristol does have a strong accent and phrases. In Brizzle the letter 'T' is silent .Compu'er,wa'er. Actually people from outside Bristol to tend to find the accent hard to digest. The accent is also getting destroyed by the huge number of CHAV'S here!

    lol There is a phrase here: Rode hard and put away wet. I think it's original term was meant for horses but it's been used here to explain a very hot and heavy s*xual encounter.

    The pop the cherry thing always kind of grossed me out and made it difficult for me to enjoy cherry pie. :laugh:

    I think he was saying that those are phrases that people in Maine say. "wicked good" is definitely a term from Maine.

    No it's not - it's been an expression here for years, although we usually say 'lost' rather than popped

    It is a Maine Phrase. It has been taken south by all the Massies that come up for the summer and then run south on I95 in the "Caah" the moment it gets cold in the fall.

    Born and raised in Maine. Thankfully, I've spent the last 22 out of the state earning a decent living for the family. Not much up there but Forests, Potato Farms and Lobstermen and Fishermen.
