i just saw lock stock and 2 smoking barrells and formula 51 and half the movie, i couldn't understand what they were saying...

i never knew there were many kinds of bollocks-- dog bolloocks, chicken bollocks, c*ck bollocks...

and what the hell is a wigwam!?!?!?!

Tex
I had to read subtitles on Gosford Park!

British people impossible to understand.

I wonder if they have the same problem with American films?

whatshisface
huh, i never looked at it that way. i doubt it though... i dunno. i love their accent but they talk too fast sometimes...

BadBabe
i like brittish dudes rock

whatshisface
i like british babes... especially liz hurley...

ash007
Gosh i get this form every American and we get a few living with us,

I am afriad its quite normall but us Brits are also becoming a bit Americanized because we are actually started to use your words and lingo so there is not much different apart from the accent.

Also in films i dont notice the accent but when i meet a Yank i notice it big time smile

whatshisface
it's still hard to make out what they say sometimes. james bond ain't bad at all. maybe it's just the movies.

BadBabe
i dont unders stand the izzle shit talk

whatshisface
what izzle? like rap izzle? or is there a brit izzle? please specify your izzle...

BadBabe

whatshisface

Dirty Vader
Hehehe you have to know cockney slang to understand those movies. Sometimes I have trouble with that too.

whatshisface
bleh... the "wigwam" is still a mystery to me... what the hell is it?

Dirty Vader

whatshisface
i heard it when i was watching lock stock and 2 smoking barrels... or formula 51... can't really recall...

Dirty Vader

it's not so much the language...it's the personality that goes a long with it.
