do english people think americans talk funny?

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.

Walk into a bar in the U.S. and ask if ya can borrow a "fag". You'll either get arrested, beat up, or pinched on the ass.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

LMAO!!

I like Brit accents... I can assure you, I can ALWAYS tell when someone is from:

Baltimore
Seattle
New York
Texas
Boston
Wisconsin
Tenessee

It's just so easy...

That's because us Norfolk crew are a bunch of inbreds.

Well I use words from both the American dictionary and the English. So neither seem funny to me really. The only difference being accents.

I hope a lot of Americans dont think we all sound posh like they portray us on TV.

Nah, We figure you all sound like Lady Sovereign, or The Streets.

[MadSativa]

Slip u dont sound like a Texan main, more NM, but anyway here we use words like Aye, Main, Fuk and Shit is used for everything........example that fukin shit was good......could mean good food or good sex. We also dont say yall to much but it happens, alot of broken english/spanish her or spanglish, but also alot of just spanish and mostly mexican spanish yes their is a differeance. 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:
