You think that's hard! Try explaining to someone from the US what ee-by-gum-me-lad means,
or better still

Where as thou bin since I saw thee, I saw thee, on Ilkey Moor ba-tat!

If you want really hard, try being an American in love with an Irish/British teddy bear who likes to frollick in pants. (I hope you can see the video, because I can no longer see it, since some content isn't allowed on copyright content in my country now.) I spent half a year trying to figure out how that little clothing could be considered "pants." I slo-moed it, asked, googled and pondered for half a year, before I finally got it. Pants, to us, are trousers to you. lol

And then there are kits! Kits are models made from parts, or cars made from parts, or even houses made from parts.

I still don't quite get what cheeky means, but I suspect Bob T. Bear Esq. is cheeky.

I also get a kick that an old trending item we used to use as a pouch around our waist with the pouch often landing on our bum, is about the highest insult a Scot could hear. (Don't click, if you're Scottish. The title will make your eyes bug out, but my grandmother had that word as a name. lol)

Never heard of them, I had to look that up ;)

There are some fields by me, spare ground which no one uses with loads of blackberry and raspberry bushes. I remember
going there as a child and picking loads of them.

Why would you have a spread just made of fruit juices? Anyway, in Australia we follow the Brits. But that's almost always been the case. ;)

A. Juice is cheaper.
B. Mint jelly with mint leaves makes you want to pull tiny pieces of leaf off your tongue at every bite.
C. Have you ever tasted a crab apple? They're sour! Add enough sugar with the juice and it's good.
D. I have no idea!

You're all so funny, you make me laugh so much.

Let's see if I have this right.

Jelly is jam but without the fruit and with the juice only. So strawberry jelly is strawberry juice?
And you like to have this on bread with peanut butter.

Ive never tried peanut butter with jam, maybe it wouldn't work and it would only go with jelly.

Peanut butter with sliced banana is yum :)

We're different, but we're not that crazy. Strawberries are cheap, therefore we don't make strawberry jelly. We make strawberry jam. We might make strawberry Jello, but it's more than likely we're still putting strawberries in it.

But you have me thinking... why isn't there banana jam?

Let's see, car gets a flat tyre or a puncture, get out the torch, open the car boot, pull out the spare and change it with - well at this point I'm no mechanic but maybe someone else can fill in this part!

Would have to make sure any passengers are safe on the path or pavement (sidewalk) and find a safe
place off the motorway (freeway?). :)

What tool do you change it with?

(And, in reality, I wouldn't change it. I'd play the helpless woman until I got a guy to change it for me. I don't like to get my hands dirty, especially with a tire, because they smell nasty. lol)

There is banana everything else, maybe bananas don't work in jam? Possibly someone on CC
could try making banana jam and let us know how it works out.

I would have to play the helpless woman as well, I don't even know what it's called but I'm sure there will be another Brit somewhere who knows what the thingymabob is called for changing tyres.


Teddy bear frollicks, I couldn't watch the vid either, but yes pants is trousers; and underwear is pants.
Pants can also mean something is stupid or rubbish as in "That is really pants."


The pouch thing, we would call it a bum bag! Takes me back a bit I haven't heard that phrase for
ages, the other word, the US way of saying it means something completely different in the UK -
something a bit rude!

Aren't we a funny lot:)

 
speaking of slang: my friend has a small book on Glaswegian, one of the examples in it is:

There had been an accident, and a man asked a bystander what happened.
The answer was: afellefllafalorry
... meaning a fella fell off a lorry

A. Good point.
B. I don't like mint jelly either way.
C. I didn't find them particularly sour. More a sweet-sour. I enjoyed them back in the day, but you wouldn't want to eat too many of them at a time.
D. Haha!

Bum bags are so weird. I used to have one back in the day, but they're not even worn near your bum, but in front! So silly!
 
Im not sure what the U.S call biscuits? I know they call biscuits are cookies
 
I reckon its scones because biscuits n gravy from Texas I saw a pic put up in the lounge chatroom the biscuits looked like scones
 
Once having changed the car tyre Then theres the Australian vs NZ conversion
Youd need a cool drink from the milk bar which you would then put in your Esky which we would say a cool drink from the dairy to put in your chilly bin

We call biscuits "biscuits." We call cookies "cookies." lol

I think the best I can describe a biscuit is like a scone with nothing sweet in it and small and round. Sort of like a small hard roll, but hard all the way through. Then again, I don't much like scones. Not sweet enough. And, I'm not sure you're thinking the same thing for the word "roll."

Was that written in English? lol

(I think Esky is an Eskimo cooler. That's all I got out of that, although I suspect there's beer involved.)
 
Hah beer! The dairy is the small corner store where we pick up bits n pieces like milk and bread cheaper than the grocery store
