So you want dinner for lunch and supper for dinner? :P

Do you get it yet? I meant because you call lunch dinner, when dinner to me is what you call tea. I am confusing myself now, but I know what I meant.

That's so weird!
Here, breakfast is of course breakfast. Lunch is lunch, and dinner is the evening meal. Anything else is a snack. |

in the US its breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner/supper, desert. tea to us is just a drink or maybe an evening or lunchtime snack.

No they're not. Crepes are thin pancakes. Although it's possible some people use the words interchangably as they're pretty similar.

That reminded me of the line on Ricky Bobby when he got his arm broke for not saying he loved "really thin pancakes" haha.

I don't call pancakes crepes, actually I've never heard them called that before. My grandmother calls them flapjacks. They are pretty much the same, just homemade and oh soo good. ;D

flapjacks are a thing here made from oats and syrup and stuff (in the uk)
|
Makayla Post Count: 751 |
I think my granny uses flour, sugar, egg, milk, starch, and some other stuff for hers. I haven't heard of using oats before.
|

The ingredients you listed are what are used in normal homemade pancakes. Flapjacks normally have more things in them, such as oats like .November.Butterfly. said.
|
Makayla Post Count: 751 |
Yea I know there are some other things you can put in them. I've just never heard of using oats before.

Some of those are used in America, too. Cab and taxi are both used, sweets is sometimes used but not for the most part, and I've always used the word pantyhose, as well as tights and nylons.
In this area people often will say they're going 'up' to somewhere that is actually south, and vise versa. But I think that's just because Mainers don't have a sense of directions lol. It's something I stopped doing years ago when I realized it didn't make sense. |

I say I'm going down to London, and if I ever went north (no idea why I would want to!) I'd say I'm going up there.
Rittles?! Haha that is amusing, I have never head that before. Where I am from, we say 'gamboll' for forward roll. And we say tig instead of tag. And it is a very Solihull thing to say mom instead of mum. I am terribly guilty of doing that. |

We call a forward roll and rolly polly like the cake.
Rittles is local dialect |

GOING TO THE CHEMIST = GOING TO THE DRUGSTORE. SEEING AN ACTUAL PHARMACIST IS NOT NECESSARILY IMPLIED - YOU MIGHT BE JUST GOING TO BUY TAMPONS.
FANNY IS A DELIGHTFUL WORD WHICH MEANS DIFFERENT THINGS DEPENDING ON WHAT SIDE OF THE POND YOU ARE, YO! ;D THE MODEST PUCK IS TOO SHY TO GIVE DETAILS! |
Transit Post Count: 1096 |

CORNER SHOP IS DIFFERENT FROM AN OFF LICENCE, YO - AT LEAST DAHN SAHTH! CORNER SHOP SELLS ALL THE BASICS - BREAD, CHEESE, POTATOES, TAMPONS, SOAP, BABY FOOD, PEANUT BUTTER, PRINGLES, LIQUORICE ALLSORTS, AS WELL AS ALCOHOLIC DRINKS. OFF LICENCES TEND TO JUST SELL ALCOHOLIC DRINKS, WITH THE OCCASIONAL BAG OF KETTLE CHIPS.
