It's not my fault you didn't/can't get it.  Stop getting huffy.

well you know, start 'em young.

Actually, "our kid" is Mancunian slang for brother. Never seen an Oasis interview ? He's 27 BTW.

Well, it was ok once I found out what 'minging' is.

What is it with britain and its masses of incomprehensible slang?

[Grey Wolf]

They came up with the English language, so they have the right to screw around with it.

[pyro-manic]

It's one of the few things we really excel at.

And Zylonbane, I can if you want me to....

[BlackDove]

It would have been nicer if not for the retarded English specific language in it.

Minging isn't a word.

Die.

Also, the person that points me to the dictionary for the word "minging" should die as well.

*Ahem*

I liked it... once I knew what minging was. Gawd, can't we all just speak American already?

I swear brits just invent words and meanings just to fool the outlanders.

Foot-path: A path you walk on, you know... with your feet.
Side-walk: Side of what? Ham? You're walking on ham? Are you mad?

Shop: A place you buy things from.
Store: A place you keep things in.

Pram: A parent powered vehicle for children.
Buggy: Poorly written, prone to crashing.

Sweets: Tasty treats, mainly carbohydrate and E-numbers.
Candy: Last thursday's centrefold girl.

Television: Factual and fictional programming interspersed with advertisements.
Television: Factual and fictional advertisements interspersed with programming.

and one other thing that's always confused me...

Metric unit: Look, it all comes down to base 10! w00t!
Imperial unit: Incomprehensible and stupid unit of measurement.


As far as I'm concerned you americans don't even speak English!
Bloody head-cases.

Last time I checked, Britain was the one who invented the Imperial system and still uses it today, so you can't pin that one on us.  I'll give you the television one, though.

You forgot about apartment/flat and elevator/lift. Those are the ones I have heard most often during my visits to India (where they essentially use British English); people always refer to "flats" and "lifts", leaving me scratching my head.

[WMCoolmon]

And just how does "Bloody prices" make sense?
