Words Brits use that Americans don't?

Kind of like marching to a different drummer

 

Or off in la la land

 

Oh yes.

Round the twist

 

Too many to respond to each, so a group Like. How do you like them apples?

 

It’s funny that we all know what knickers are but nobody ever uses the word. In fact when I hear an American say knicker my first thought is the sound that a horse makes which is different than a neigh or a whinny

 

Knickers and arse are two of my favorite British words. I sometimes use them myself.

 

We also have knackers.
Gone to the knackers yard.
I think that is where they sent old horses

 

My favorite is the different use of the word “fanny “ . A simple slap on the fanny here is sexual assault there. Hahaha

 

Oiy cheeky girl. A fanny is a vagina in the UK. Lol

 

Kind of brings a whole new thought to the item called a Fanny pack

 

We don't have them. Lol
We used to have bum bags.

 

I guess that’s better than a baggy bum lol

 

“ kiss my fanny “ also takes on a whole new meaning.

 

For sure

 

You naughty girl. Lol

 

“I'm knackered!” meaning: “I'm tired.”

 

Butt is also used for archery target practise.

 

Naff meaning not impressed

 

Scouse words and phrases that will never get old

Queen
One for the old school scousers but its making a comeback! There’s nothing more lovely than hearing your nan, mum, aunties and basically any woman older than you, call you Queen. What a privilege.

 

Me Mum and R Baby
It’s not possible to simply say…’yes mum will have a glass of prosecco too’ in scouse. It’s more like ‘Me mum said she’ll have a glass of prosecco as well’. And Our Baby! ‘Awww have you seen our baby in her new school uniform?’ ‘Did you see our baby dressed as a pumpkin for Halloween.’ We truly take ownership of out family, that’s what we call love.
