JK here are a few more for your English/American dictionary.

dummy/pacifier
tube/subway
motorway/highway

LOL, this is funny

JK we barely see you in these areas girl, how are you?

LOL you call a bandage a plaster??? this is by far the funniest one

Love it, Boogie!! My favorites are reading history (you say marks vs. grades, too, right?), nappy and knickers. Oh and snog.

I can't believe (as a quiltmaker) that any old comforter is called a quilt. I'd feel that my hobby was so unrecognized in London!

I had a friend from England tell me he once told a priest over here he would "knock him up in the morning" (meaning he would come by to pick him up) and the priest just about fell over laughing.

Also, (and this is not UK but it relates) a female friend I knew went to a bar in Australia and overheard the bartender tell a man to "keep his pecker up". For a minute she wondered just what kind of a place she was in until it was explained to her that that means "keep your chin up", only "pecker" in that instance meant "nose". I thought that was pretty funny. Everyone speaking English yet still there's a language barrier.

next time I go get my hair cut I will say "give me some fringe" and I too love the plaster for bandaid.

how cool, thanks for sharing JK

Jerkygirl...Keep you pecker up...LMAO...I can only guess what you thought it ment...funny how 2 words/or sayings in the English dictionary mean totally different things.

Just thought of another one...UK pavement = US sidewalk.

JK, I just can't bring myself to say "Okay, I'll keep my pecker up." Okay I just said it. Oops.
Lurve the list!!!

that's gonna be useful for my next vacay.
question : what's knackered? a brit friend said that he didn't say that in front of his child but he didn't say what it was either

Knackered means tired....you would say " I am knackered after a long day at work"

didnt realise there were so many differences!!! im also from the UK, another one UK trainers- US sneakers, (if thats how u spell it)

ouu another one! UK trousers/ US Pants!

How about taking a piss out or mick out? This is the lingo I pick up watching EastEnders.

another expression 'keep your knickers on' means dont over react!

yeah taking a piss means taking a wee, or taking THE piss your making fun of something

Oh I left out the THE. Thanks.

twinkle they have eastenders in the US??

I don't know about the US but they have it in Finland.

ou ouu!! another one, do u guys in the US say ' u bloody idiot' do u use that phrase??

oh right twinkle, i thought u were from the US! oops!

No bloody is a UK thing.

I am from the US but I live in Finland now.

I think Eastenders is on BBC America. I don't watch it anymore because it is all so doom and gloom. I used to love Sunset Beach...so wonderfully tacky.

I used to watch that too JK! Very cheesy! Didn't one woman get another one pregnant using a turkey baster?

There were so many crazy storylines which made it so great. I used to love Meg....her range of facial expressions was priceless

The US has much better soaps then we do....the US one always seem more glamourous.

Caitlin was really good too LOL. And how about the guy they called "English" but who had an obvious Aussie accent??? Too bad they canceled it because it was pretty funny.

It was hilarious....I was hooked.

Shag is another word ...it's a popular dance in The South.

another word UK pins US legs

Luna you are good at this

hee hee its interesting

JK- do you have both quilts and comforters in the UK? I'm curious. I really have been thinking about that a lot since I read it, we have both here... are both just called quilts?

SPM....I had a quick look online and it does not appear that we have comforters.

I am so totally using "Snog" now...

LOL @ PPP

UK - holiday US - vacation

BlondeSugar...can't believe I missed that one

In the US too there are many differences in words we use say in the Northeast and in the South. For example In the Northeast, we say Milkshake, and I think it is down south, they call it a cabinet

That was cool JK*

Haha, Milkshake and Cabinet? I never knew that!

Hmm.. I definitely say milkshake!

Sorry, Cabinet is used in Rhode Island

Milkshake and Cabinet???? that is very strange....

For me Milkshake you drink and a Cabinet you put stuff in...

So cute Boogie! I love how you guys say knickers instead of panties. I also think the words rubbish and nappy are cute!
