let's have it -- English slang/colloquialisms/jargon
Stemming from the clarification Brown had to make for me here for lorry, I would like a bit more English slang/colloquialisms/jargon added to my lingo. If you're feeling into it, the meaning would be nice, too. I don't need the obvious ones like bugger, wanker, bollocks, pissed, arsed, etc. I've heard enough here and am comfortable using any of 'em in a sentence. The latest, for me, is that lorry = truck. yay. I need to know more... fun: HGC v.4 | last.fm: DT | me | oi! f*ck u roto: ...via meebo!

just for the record, 'lorry' is neither slang, jargon or a colloquialism, it's plain english. - fanny UK - vagina US - buttocks bum UK - buttocks US - homeless person bush UK - twat US - twat etc… http://www.geocities.com/ben_jennie/words.html http://www.krysstal.com/ukandusa.html http://www.sterlingmovers.com/movers...movers&s=2&t=2 |

Touché. You know you like the American accent, and slang -- you wish you could use it. Word dillio. What's up with that, homediddly dogg -- so phat, the American dialect. I'll admit, though, that it seems like a British accent here in the States make girls of all appearances completely forget to look at the guy and just fawn over his strange uses of Cheers and Mate. |
