If i was pissed and ended up smoking a fag in the US I would be a angry guy and get arrested for a hate crime while in the UK I guess I would just be a drunk guy having a cigarette ;)

I'm positive no American would understand Cockney or Broad Norfolk - hell, most English people dont understand Cockney or Broad Norfolk!
One thing us Brits are great at is fighting - that's what we do.
You got the sterio-typical London gangstas - in the back of a pub in tailored suits talking quietly with sawn off shotguns next to em - That's steriotype is true for the proper gangs though, thats how i was brought up.
I dont find American words/accents funny - i just automacticlly change em into my head into the right words [right for me anyway]
Like if you said put that in the trunk in my head i'd hear it as put that in the boot.
LMAO!!Quote:

Try askin for a match or a light or a car wash in a differnet dialect of spanish and it could mean a fight to the death. example Chinga las trastes..........means wash the dishes but here it means fuck the dishes.............big differance.

I have a funny story about that. When I was 15 we had my dad's friend come stay with us in Florida, and he had a cockney accent. One night I came home and was rather high, I was standing there talking to him with my hands on my hips. He says " Don't stand like that or you will get falalom", I was like WTF and asked him to say it again. Again he says don't stand like that or you will get falalom, again like WTF. I'm stoned and thinking WTF is falalom, a disease (I was rather high). After 5 times of him repeating it I said write it down. He writes don't stand like that or you will get followed home. :jointsmile:

Here's a few good English phrases.
He yer fa got a dickey, bor? (Has your father got a donkey, boy?)
I got suffen a-shew yo ( I've got something to show you )
I'll box your chops (I'll smack your cheeks)
Garpen outa the winder (Looking out of the window)
Yu'll larf th'other side a y'r kisser sune (You wont find that very funny soon)
My mom's family is from BC (my Oma and Opa...the only words I know how to say in Dutch lol), so they speak French, and have a very thick accent. I, on the other hand, was raised in the deep south, so it makes for an interesting vacation when we visit. I don't think it neccessarily sounds "funny", just different. I'm so used to the southern accent, that I don't even realize how "country" I sound untill I travel up north, and everyone looks at me like I'm a "hick", lol. I'm not nearly as bad as Cohutta (for those of you Real World Sydney fans), but I definetly have a twang:)
First of all, Jeremy Piven kicks ass. Get some Entourage DVDs and you'll learn.Quote:

I found that clip so ironic, and I'm sure you know why being an Entourage fan. On the show, he has a gay assistant, and you wouldn't believe the shit he says to him. He literally gay bashes him on one of the most popular shows on TV, but it's absolutely hilarious. Here's an example:Quote:

And for anyone interested, here's a montage of Ari Gold [Jeremy Piven] from Entourage, easily one of the best characters in television history.

And PS to Slip: Eminem is officially back in the studio working on his 5th solo album...:thumbsup:
Dahntahn-a classic one I totally forgot about:thumbsup:Quote:
I thought curtain call was going to be his last album..
Haha Jeremy Piven is awesome.
Ari: What's it like to take it in the ass Lloyd?
Lloyd: I don't know, I'm a top
One of my favorite moments in the show
Another question is: Do Americans think the English talk funny? Yes, yes we do.Quote:

It is funny that we call the language we speak in America "English".
We have mutated the language so much that even in this country, one word can have too many different meanings and saying it one way in one part of the country can be ok but, in another part of the country, "dems is fightin' words".
I do not speak English, I speak American and my version of American is mixed with a perfect score in my English classes in school when I went and street slang because I spent a good portion of my life living on the streets like an animal.
Now that Live a good honest life in a house with my wife, I still struggle with my street vocabulary trying to rule my mouth.
Change is hard to do.

I always think itd be funny if just everyone woke up speaking different languages, like to just wake up and go to the store, and everyone is speaking french, but you understood it, and could speak it too. Thatd be crazy!

I guess I'm midwest(illinois), pretty much the same as on national news. Except everyone says the word 'roof' wrong.
I'm ripped.
