AMERICAN vs BRITISH ENGLISH.

We actually call Blueberry Pancakes, "Fly Cemetries". 😀
 
Very amusing. 😀
They forgot "elevator" versus "lift", and "exit" versus "way out".
 
I knew a british lady that called a popsicle an "iced lolly"
 
In my opinion, the Brits have every reason to criticize and even ridicule American English. We've butchered the language in more ways than I can count. I'm not talking about the different words like "trunk" as opposed to "boot." I'm talking about pronunciation and clarity.

Plus, the UK has some incredibly hot women, but that's for another thread. 😀
 
When a British woman says,come knock me up,that means knock on the door,not get her pregnant.
 
British men regularly excuse themselves so they can go outside and suck on a fag, and it's not gay.

Or, take a drag off a fag, and their not de-clothing a gay cross-dresser, either... They're just taking one hit off the cig.

No, they are dialects of the same language. Even within the U.S., there are vast regional variations. (The same type of sandwich on a long roll can be called a hero sandwich, a hoagy, a grinder, a submarine sandwich, or a po'boy, depending on what part of the country you are in.)

What about Australian English? If you're looking for an English speaking country that has odd-sounding words, theirs sounds like Lewis Carroll made them up. I absolutely love that dialect.

And of course Scots English. Where I come from we call it Doric. I don't use it talking around people in this country. It's gotten to where it's a subconscious thing and very hard to snap out of. If you ever hear my mum and I have a conversation, especially about something going on back home, try to follow it through to the end. Bet you a $1 you can't.
 
Eh, you gotta admit, some of the American words sound better than the British words

Such as Windshield Whipers... I mean, wishy-washies? Lol...

However, I think living where I live I really need to get me a rooty tooty point and shooty...
 
And my favoutite: football vs. soccer 😀 I mean, really 😀

Nobody I have known or spoken to in this country has ever used the term "wishy-washies". Stop making things up, you clout.

The "American" accent sounds lazy and unwashed; by comparison, British English sounds verbose, full of character, and your chicks dig it. 😉

Well that's good, and I wasn't making that up! That was on the picture on the link where it said american words and then british words lol.. It wasn't me... lol. But if you don't use that term in England, that's good because that's a stupid term lol...

And I could say a couple other things that the English accent sounds like but won't...
 
Great thread, credit to the OP. I had a look at that site - makes me wonder if they have just got loads of cockney rhyming slang on there...never heard of wishy washies, or a rooty tooty point and shooty...

As language goes, although some view it as a bastardisation, it's only inevitable that there will be differences. As British English is constantly changing, so is American English - otherwise we wouldn't have the differences we see today. Celebrate it! It's a wonderful thing!

Popsicle? Have you guys gone completely MAD?
