SpeedRacer 1 #1 January 24, 2002 We got off on a tangent on another thread (before it degenerated into a discussion on unnatural relations with sheep) about different slang & expressions in the US, UK, NZ & Australia etc.I pointed out how one of the funniest things a Brit can say to an American is "I'm going to step outside to blow a fag"A funny thing an American can say in England, "I just went out to dinner with Nigel, and now I'm stuffed!" So what other different expressions do people have? I'm asking everyone.Do the non-Americans know American slang, such as:poontangcoyote uglyshitfaced (or abbreviated, "faced")(I'll try to think of some more)Speed Racer"My God! It's full of stars!"

kingbunky 3 #2 January 24, 2002 fanny is a good one. in canada anyway, it is usually used by women to refer to someone's butt. in the uk, as my sister discovered while visiting her brit boyfriend's parents, it refers to , ummm, 'tuna town'...

SpeedRacer 1 #5 January 24, 2002 BWAHAHAHA!Quotecakpipe cosmonaut = arse bandit I believe the most common expression for this in the US is fudge packer.10 to 2-er is great. The phrase "coyote ugly" is kinda similar. It refers to how coyotes will sometimes gnaw their own foot off if it's caught in a trap. (horrible, I know). Coyote ugly is something Huffermoose could understand: It's when you go out to a bar & get really trashed & next day you wake up in bed with your arm trapped under Something Really Ugly. And rather than wake her up & have her remember you, you choose to gnaw your own arm off to escape.Speed Racer"My God! It's full of stars!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

R00tj00se 0 #7 January 24, 2002 If something in the UK is good then it is the 'dog's bollocks' or the 'mutt's nuts'.If you are going to dump your gf/bf then you give them the 'Spanish Archer' (el bow).
