GOSH, I WONDER IF THAT IS THE CASE HERE, AND THAT THE PUCK IS TOO UNVERSED IN THE WORLD OF BOOZE TO REALISE. NAUGHTY RYAN WILL KNOW - HE MUST COME AND PUT US STRAIGHT! I ALWAYS USE 'OFF LICENCE' TO REFER TO SHOPS LIKE ODDBINS. BUT I SUPPOSE IF THE TERM 'OFF-LICENCE' IS TAKEN LITERALLY, THEN EVEN SUPERMARKETS ARE OFF LICENCES, YO.

OH BUGGER - IT'S DUSTBIN DAY AND I'VE FORGOTTEN TO PUT OUT MY BIN AND I'M TOTALLY IN MY PYJAMAS! ALAS, NO MORE PYJAMA DAY FOR PUCK!

I don't even know what day the bin men come here, luckily we know that they come into our garden and collect our bin bags for us, nice bin men.

BIN MEN HERE REQUIRE THAT YOU DRAG YOUR BIN UP THE SLOPE OF YOUR FRONT GARDEN AND PUT IT ON THE PAVEMENT, YO. BASTARDS!

That reminds me...

Backgarden = Back yard
Pavement = side walk
Petrol station = Gas station

Hahahaha, you just reminded me of when a British friend mentioned his "backgarden" and an American got all giggly, thinking he was talking of his arse?! Apparantly she thought it was a term for a hairy arse!? Imagine!!

I would love the bin men to come and collect things from near my house. We have to pack all the bags into the bin and put it on the pavement or they wont take it.

Yes, I would consider "off licence" do be somewhere like Oddbins too. And a corner shop is more of a newsagent/minimarket type of shop.

OH YES, YO - NEWSAGENT IS ANOTHER WORD FOR CORNER SHOP. GOSH, I HAVEN'T HEARD THE TERM 'NEWSAGENT' IN AGES THOUGH! WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRLY I WAS ALWAYS SAYING 'I'M GOING TO THE NEWSAGENT' - LIKE, THAT WAS WHERE I BOUGHT MY POCKET MONEY SWEETS!

My mom calls our local shop the 'top shop' hehe. Maybe because it's up a hill?

I don't know if anyone has posted this already one or not and sorry if I've repeated it, lol. (Pages are taking ages to display on my laptop, Grrr)

cigarettes = fags.
I remember when my American friend came to UK and I asked him if he wanted a fag, he just gave me a really odd look and said that fag actually meant gay in America.
Although, I do say cigarettes as well, fags is just another word for cigarettes.

also,

With cars
bonnet=hood
boot=trunk
gear stick=shift stick

A fanny in the UK is NOT the same as a fanny in the US...I was quite shocked that one of the groups on America's Best Dance Crew was called FannyPack. How rude...

I literally just LOL'd so very hard :p.

here in michigan, we call any type of soda..pop. whenever i leave michigan, everyone always stares at me funny when i ask for a pop, ha.

Yeah, I think thats a northerner thing ;). Most southerners (in my area at least) call any soda, coke. Lol.

yeah, i'll go down to visit my cousins, and i'll be like "can i have a pop?" and they'll just stare at me weird.
am i the only weirdo that whenever i say soda, it seems like it needs to be said in a wisconsin accent? xD

Not all of Wisconsin is "soda" only the eastern part really

yea, I was going to say... whenever I go over to Sconnie land it's 'pop.'

In Maine people have a nasty habit of saying 'wicked' pretty much all the time...I'm sure anyone who reads my diary could tell you that ;). It's wicked cold today, that was a wicked bad storm we got, I'm wicked bored...etc etc. We call it soda here, not pop. Some people say 'dungarees' instead of jeans or pants (such as my dad ;D). Dooryard is a big one too, instead of driveway or yard. That's more northern Maine, though. Southern Maine is far less hick-ish. We also use dinner and supper interchangeably to mean an evening meal.

We use Wicked too, and SICK, thats fully sick man! AAAWWWW SICK!! as in cool. Actually that might have been more a 90s thing. *does the macarena*

As stated in my latest entry, I hate the slang term "baby daddy/mama." It's trashy.

i never say that is my baby daddy, but i would say that is my baby's daddy or that's his baby's mama.

It's funny you mention that, I saw you using that phrase in your diary one time, and I was going to leave a comment like, "baby daddy?" and then I saw the apostrophe-S and then I felt better. :|

Ah, but if the person you're referring to is trashy, is it alright to say "baby daddy/mama" in reference to them xD?

I find it funny. "The father of my child" must be too long with which to be bothered.
