Brits, Yanks, Aussies, Kiwis, etc. differences

Recommended Posts

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!" :D
So what other different expressions do people have? I'm asking everyone.
Do the non-Americans know American slang, such as:
poontang
coyote ugly
shitfaced (or abbreviated, "faced")
(I'll try to think of some more)
Speed Racer
"My God! It's full of stars!"

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'... :D

UK sayings:
cakpipe cosmonaut = arse bandit
10 to 2'er = Club closes at 2:00am and you haven't pulled by 1:50am so you grab a butt ugly bird to make sure you get a shag. Usage:
Fred: By 'eck Joe, that bird you pulled last night was mingin'.
Joe: Sorry mate, she was a 10 to 2'er!

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.

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). As in give your gf the elbow.
Take Captain Picard to warp speed = have a wank
there are many more...

have a wank

Oh, man you've just opened a whole thread there. Other expressions for that:
Beating the one-eyed yogurt slinger
Choking Yul Brynner
Workin' and jerkin' his gherkin
Haulin Oats
Jackin' the Beanstalk
and one of my favorites:
Shaking hands with the unemployed! :D
If its a girl doing it she's
Flicking the switch
Double-clicking her mouse
If she's using a marital aid she's:
Cleaning her oven
:D
