Yo dont be doing no ghetto talk wit me maaaan!

 

americans cant spell so they change the dictionary lmao

i really think brits should talk like americans, after all, you back us up in stupid dead end wars so why not talk like us too?

 

We dont. Our government does. Big difference.

 

Oh, please, spare me that fucking inane shit. Atleast our people have more control over our government than you fucking Yanks do. Ignorant bitch.

 

before you learn to talk maybe maybe you should learn to spell

 

Hahaha! Is that poster real in the picture?

"Irony!"

(A la Family Guy: The Movie)

 

family guy .......irony some americans might think irony is something that you iron your pants with or should that be kecks .

 

Flat is used to describe a lower class building. Ie a council flat.
when in the middle and upper class, you would use penthouse or apartment or if you have a lot of upper class associates you could say, Gracious penthouse.


In England, we have a class system. Here in London, the capital of England, we have a lot of lower class who like me simply get by on either JSA or minimum waged jobs. Though we have values to share so we are not entirely peasants. The middle class have a better salary. You will not find a middle class job seeker. Upper class, you are talking champagne for breakfast, shopping at Harrods and dinner at the Ritz.

It can all be explained if you watch Layer Cake. A British movie which is available on DVD only. Us brits kind of ditched the old VCR system.

 

when you guys start saying "y'all", or saying "have a nice day", or "y'all come back now" ... and well drinking iced tea ... THEN the takeover will be complete ... muah ha ha ha ha...

 

family guy is the coolest!!!!

 

you guys don't use "hoodwinked" over here? my father-in-law is a born and bred cockney using rhyming slang all the time ... at least 8x out of 10 we have no idea what each other is saying.

 

y'all can come chill in my crib anytime. just mind the hood, as it's total ghetto.

 

It sounds like it means the same as the equally cute "frog-marched"..

I'm making a little dictionary of quintessentially English words ready for when one of my online American friends calls..

So just what DOES "hoodwinked" mean?

 

I'm sure hoodwinked is in Shakespeare ... America wasn't even invented then, they weren't even a twinkle in England's eye

It meant to cover someone's head with a hood, to blindfold them, but now I think it generally means to deceive.

 

http://www.dictionary.com describes it as an archiac and obsolete word from the American Heritage (ha ha! ) Dictionary...

 

yes it means to deceive or well "pull the wool over one's eyes" make you a mug, whatever you want to call it, it is all the same thing. interestingly enough there's a movie out called Hoodwinked. and well, i have never heard of "frog-marched" till you just mentioned it. does that mean the same thing?

hell i'd be more than happy to help you with that dictionary. i always kid that you need to have an Ameriglish to English dictionary and vice versa. Especially for rhyming slang. But even then, there are so many other things that are just different. Bin instead of trashcan, trousers instead of pants, colour instead of color. ;-) just subtle differences at times that make a foreigner (such as myself) stand out like a sore thumb.
