TRANSLATION FOR AMERICANS

[firsttimefarmer]

Some friends and I recently met this American tourist who we showed around a bit. She was great fun so we all decided to go to a pub early one afternoon. We'd been sitting there for most of the day drinking and generally having a laugh, As we stood up to leave the american girl announced, quite loudly "OH MY GAWD, My fanny is all numb" This was greeted with silence from our group and sniggering from the next table. The poor girl was mistified untill someone explained to her that in Ireland (and the uk), "FANNY" means VAGINA. She was really cute when she blushed+
:)
Anyway if ur ever in Ireland or britain don't forget this :D

[somebody someone]

[dirty raider]

Ahhhahahahahhaa fanny.

[l330]

[tokosan]

that is much better than saying "im gonna go smoke a fag" in america.

lol, that would be so fucked up. I could totally see that if that was a guy, and he said "cherrio, my cock'n balls are all numb", just get punched right on the spot.

As biscuits, are cookie type biscuits here, and you put gravy on meat and stuff lol, not like the strange gravy you have with "biscuits" there lol.

Also you don't get grits (sp?) over here, that tasted like eating mashed up paper haha
