Find a word in english and then find the word in British. Example, fries....in Britain they call them chips...etc. That's basically all the rules, quite simple.

yeah, ehm (to americans)not to be affensive or anything but alot of you have a stereo type of the british, e.g a havent ever heard anyone use the phrase "Ello guvna" in a normal conversation.We dont say "guvna" we talk basically the same as you except for a few differences.

Americans say -->Pants British say--->Trousers

not how the hotel manager meant it. she stayed at a hotel and he asked her that. and he said that that was a term for when you ask if you want to be woken up. and she was asked if she wanted a ***, and she didn't know what it meant.

what would a git be for americans?

dansdaman
dumbass?

Saratn
ok...finally i know what trainers mean. and what would be uppers?

dansdaman
umm...as far as i know, their drugs....but im not sure what it is in british

Saratn
uppers were in the harry potter book i think...so it wouldn't be drugs...

dansdaman
true

dansdaman
oh and saratn..i was looking at your favourite quote and not to be a smart ass or anything but didn't the hermione quote go "im going to bed before either of you come up with another clever idea to get us killed..."
just wondering, it might be just the movie roll eyes (sarcastic)

Saratn

dansdaman
