Different Meanings to Words

Being a Brit, i have noticed some of those oh so funny words you lot use:)

like pants (for us means undies (tee hee)), or to get pissed means for us : get drunk.

what other ones are there, as to further world peace and laughing inside to comments.

I once herd there was a beer called WANK! was this true, and would you like the translation…i am sure you knwo now

Good post

Being Australian i have some

Root,meaning in Australian to fuck,have sex etc (see romper stomper the movie)

Fries are usually called chips exept in places like mcdonalds etc

Thong is called g-string

Flip flops are called thongs here in Aus

Wanker is one we use,meaning the person is a total cockhead or just plain annoying

Hmm cant think of many others,maybe some of my Aussie brothers could help out?

bread rolls for sandwiches can be called, depending on where in the uk…

baps (boobs also)
barm cakes (?)
cobs

Any more???

The FUNNIEST to me is “Shagging”…

“Shagging” in the U.S. is a dance form made popular in the sea-side resorts of the Southern U.S., as white teens danced to the music of the Black “beach-music” bands (actually 50’s and 60’s R&B) of the late 50’s and early 60’s.

Many people are now “shagging” to all forms of music…but those are the roots of it!

This is one site (among MANY!) of Shagging enthusiast:

My understanding is that for my British and Aussie friends, “shagging” may INCLUDE a little “dancing”…but it means a 'HELLUVA lot more!

LOL!

Anyone want to knock the broth off a couple??? What’s the legal drinking age in the UK… or Aussie for that matter???

I’m going to get pissed this weekend.

Oh yea… what’s a “Git”?

the legal drinking age in UK is 18, less in restraunts for some reason (14?)

however, some people think it starts at 11 years!

GIT:

term used as in “old git”, like codger, certainly noy a term of indearment, and not isolated to OAP’s.

LOL “puffing a fag”

ok.

for those who have seen “lock stock…” a bit of coknet rhyming slang for you.

what are they…

apple and pears
whistle (and flute)
ruby murry
rosey lea
tom tit
trouble and strife
thropney (bits)
bristol cities.

get them right and win a prize!

You must live in a capital city then H. I live on a river in townsville and if I wake up early enough could see kangaroos most days if I wanted…

I know what you mean though…

EDIT: H you ever gone on a roadtrip? if you have you must have seen a couple of hundred kangaroos dead on the road… sad but true

hahaha alf is awesome…

We used to get Kangaroos in our street occasionally where I used to live in Canberra. Admittedly our house was close to the bush.

Not so many Kangaroos here in Burleigh though. :wink:

U.S.: Fanny = Ass

UK & Down Under: Fanny = pussy

Correct??
