Words Brits use that Americans don't?

LOL I look tipsy when sober. lol

Stop dropping U's lol
Bad grammar. x

 

Not sure if it's been said yet but 'Mardy'(Moody/grumpy) is a word used a lot here in the Midlands. Definitely not one used in the States lol.

 

Well, Kath, that's true and I could have gone into depth on it.

We are, however, quite creative when it comes to the description of exactly 'how' drunk we are! One of the favorites I've heard: 'Knee-walking drunk', and of course the ever-present '**** faced' .

Similar to a thread elsewhere which considered the varied names used for the female nether regions. Must have been well over fifty or sixty. And that's only in English.

 

We have cornflakes.
Do you have maize flakes? Lol

 

Well... if someone is interested, something similar happens between the Spanish from Spain and that from Latin America.
There was a Spaniard tennis player, named Conchita Martinez, who, aware of the meaning of her nickname here, tried to avoid it. In Argentina "conchita" means "little pussy".

 

I know, I was teasing. Lol

 

I must add more Irish words.
They say Feck

 

A good craic !!!

 

THE VICTORIANS LOVED THERE CORN ........

 

Plonk cheap plonk=wine

 

Or el vino collapso !!!

 

Yes later. Lol

 

I always laugh at those speaking English from Jamaica. They say a Beer can sandwich.
Instead of Bacon sandwich.

 

And why you Brit are so lazy to drop out ending R's?

 

What R? LOL

 

In Spanish the R's sound strong. We still have different words with R and double R. For example: "pero"(but) and "perro"(dog).
Therefore the lack of R's baffle us.
We spect to hear the R sound in words like "ever, other, mother...".But these R's barely sound in American English and are completely missing in British English.
Am I wrong?

 

Yes matey, you are wrong, it depends on which part of the country you're from, there are very strong accents in parts of the uk, and it also fepends on if you're standing on your Arrrrrse or your elbow !!!

 

R rolling Rs..
Yes I do that.
