Help For You To Understand What Us Brits Are Saying

[Peter Parka]

Found something which might help you all out in understanding us and some words we use differently.

KryssTal : English Usage in the UK and USA

Ha ha - I was trying to find something like that too Peter - well done you.

Mind you, it says our word 'purse', is a pocket book, but it is what we have our money in.

There were one or two other words, but can't remember off the top of my head now. Still, I think there are enough there to give a good enough idea.

 

[Mrs Behavin]

[Peter Parka]

Americans use of the word fanny always makes me laugh!:24:

I didnt see the word "lot" on there and I see ya'll use that word but Im not sure what it means

Depends in what content you mean, it either means something which is numerous i.e. There's a lot of cars on the road, or an item for sale at an auction.
