"I'm just gonna bob down to the corner shop for some fags..."

[thermodynamic]

Made you look! :evilgrin:

Translated, it says "I'm going down to the corner ship briefly to buy some cigarettes."

somehow, the UK version is rather more colorful and does, in no way, imply male prostitution.

"bog" also means "toilet", which makes environmental science, as taught in the US, all that much more amusing! :D :D :D

1. pick me up a few while you're there

2. my mother used to refer to cigarettes as fags, needless to say

i was real confused when adolescent discussion turned to that topic.

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. Or how about these

try this one:

"I'm gonna step outside for a quick fag"

And if you have a diner nearby that allows smoking, and it's early morning, you can say:

"I'm gonna step out for a couple bangers and a fag"

4. Like on "Clerks", the cartoon show:

When Dante and Randall were working at a convenience store in England one time, and a guy walks in and says "Pack of fags, please.", and Randall grabs him and says "YOU'RE a fag!!", and KNOCKS the guy's lights out.

They were also working at a store in India, and a guy comes in with a cow, and Randall says to Dante "Watch this!!", and squirts some milk out of the cow's teat into a glass and drinks it, and the Hindu guy FREAKS out and runs away.

That was the most off-the-wall written TV show in HISTORY, IMO. More so than Family Guy, even though it wasn't as funny as Family Guy. "Clerks" was still funny in its own way, tho.

5. Fags are cigarettes in Canada also!

and another word for your rear end is a "bum"....

6. Stop faffing about, you're going to bollocks it up

Translation:

Stop messing about, you're going to spoil it. (Bollocks = testicles)

I was gobsmacked when I heard about it.

I was astonished when I heard about it. (Gob = mouth, hence gobsmacked).

He's so gormless.

He's such an idiot

Don't get your knickers in a twist

Don't get upset about it

He's such a prat

Think Bush

Many many more where these came from.

8. Sussed that out, did ya mate?

[GCP]

9. Watcher, cock!

How about we go up the aplles and pairs and have a bit of how's-your-father? !

[KamaAina]

7. The response: "Well, be sure to keep your pecker up, then!"

Courage.

"Pecker" is courage.

You know, like what Bush* doesn't have. (Oh, right, he doesn't have the other kind, either. It was a sock on the flight deck.)

10. We've seen you rogering the fishwife in the crumpet shop.......

Don't forget (important, this one) that in the UK if you're talking about a woman's fanny, then it's her "lady's special area" and NOT her ass! IIRC there was a brilliant out-take from one film where Richard Burton had been told by the American director to grab Elizabeth Taylor by the fanny.....heh heh heh.....

One of my mates (friends) once turned to a security guard at Houston airport and said "Is there anywhere round here where I can get hold of a fag?".......the reply was "NOT IN THIS TOWN, BUDDY!"

Ha hah ha.

P.

P.S.
Needless to say, football is played by 22 men with a round ball!

11. Yes, the British are funny fuckers

I lived over there for a while and at least once a week someone would try to get me to complement a woman on her "fanny". I had been warned, so it did not work.

British profanity has to be the best in the world:

Although I have heard that Italians can hold their own.

13. In America, football is played by 22 men with an oblong-shaped ball!!

And there's more sexual undertones regarding the odd-shaped ball.

But still, football (American) is my life....

12. ...we'll get you sorted.

no worries!
