A *** is the typical definition for a cigarette over in England.

Some other words:

Chips: French Fries.
Crisps: Potato Chips.
Mate: Friend.
Canada: Insane.

That's the first thing i thought when i read this thread. They call cigaretts, ****.

"Aigh mate, can I have a drag of that ***?"

british people are also really cheeky

like, once, when my family was visiting england, my mother ordered, "a small milk" so the waiter brought her a thumbcap full of milk

[Lonehunter]

:rolleyes:

[NightWalker XI]

Well the only words that pisses me off that Americans say is "Weiner"

It just sparks anger into me whenever someone SAYS it (so no smartass goes and writes weiner5 thinking he can piss me off)

Its that accent...grrrr

Anywho ask away for other Uk words and I'll answer (even tho I'm not from the UK but I live there...erm...here)

[NightWalker XI]

Anywho what the hell are you guys on about sayign our words are weird?

Its your "english" thats weird...I mean camon, american-english is just a bastardised english...with invented words like "soccer" and stuff

[Lonehunter]

Wy don't you like people saying weiner?:confused:

[NightWalker XI]

Maybe because the word for it is sausage and there is no need for a second word...thats just Americans tryign to be different...camon...weiner just sounds weird as well

[Lonehunter]

I've never heard of anybody calling a suasage a wiener. Hotdogs, yeah. But not suasages.

[NightWalker XI]

Well once I was at a BBQ while on holiday at the states and a guy goes up to the dude whow as servign food and he goes: "can I have a weiner please?" and the dude passed him a sausage...so yeah...

[AztecWarrior]

The only people that call sausages "wieners" are 5th graders trying to laugh. Or people with the mental ages of 8 year olds.

Well then again my first language is Spanish, so I don't really care about this whole debate. All I would like to add is that Americans have bastardized practially every Spanish word that entered the language.

Our wonderful school system of course. Though years of living in the midwest, working with the military, and contact with a variety of nationalities, I've rather managed to bastardize it right well, don't you think? :D

[Thrik]

For the record, chips aren't french fries in England. French fries are usually called "fries" and chips are the big fat chips you get in chip shops and such.

Except they usually come in shitty old paper.

acually most english is taken from french and gaelic, (i spelled that wrong didnt i) words that commoners would use like cow or chicken are from gaelic (that really dosnt look rite to me, oh well) and words that important people would use comes from french, so think about it when u talk about bastardized languages, n e way cant wait to learn japanese, then i can rant all i want and almost nobody would know what i was talking about plus it helps that i already know 80+ words

Everyone wants to learn Japanese because they watch anime.

I can already rant and have people not understand. Eres un hijo de puta!

So... does anyone speak the god damned language (french)

Parceque si vous voulez parler fran�ais moi �a me d�range pas. M�me que c'est ben plus facile pour moi que de parler en anglais. Mais je le pr�f�re quand m�me parceque c'est plus facile ya pas de grosse r�gles stupide comme en fran�ais.

Ok... maybe that wasnt french... more like quebequese (sp?) but it's still french :D

[r3d]

Canadians are so weird, I dont care if your french canadian either !

Just kidding <3

[NeoTassadar]

I know he's Austrailian, but I've heard some English people say it too, so what is he really saying when it sounds to me like "core blimey!"? And is the first word (whatever it really is) just for emphasis (like "fucking" is usually used here), or does it actually mean something? Am I being too analitical?
