English Language Barrier
by I've never been more careful of what i said in my life..
Me and adam had a friend over his name is jonathan from australia and i never thought i would be trying to prevent myself from saying words that i normally say.. like there saying a simple word like fanny is a bad word.. its weird that there is different ways to speak english... or is it??

wow. you can't go around saying "Fanny". that's not a nice word for a woman. i learned that the first time i made fun of someone wearing a fanny pack in england.
I know a sister who would hafta change her first name if she were to go to England or Australia. Her first name would be offensive over in those two countries.
wow. just looked it up on www.webster.com. the official definition is still buttocks, so I say continue using it. how did this australian breach the subject of its british slang meaning?
maybe it's like us saying a$$.
nope. look it up.
i mean like a$$ is the same word for butt although a not nice term so maybe fanny is the same. btw the link isn't working.
what he explained fanny is the female genital area
oooooooh, well ok then
yes. thats' a nice safe description.
YEAH!! I had to have it explained the hard way. I'm with my scottish friends and they are telling me some orods that are bad there but not here and i they got me to say that one but wouldn't tel me. SO WHO DO I ASK? A 16 year old scottish girl. Man did her face turn red....
the major thing is that he says that word as well as d@m and he|| and its not a bad word over there so its like ahhhhh
i think alot of that stuff is different from our area... same thing with certain phrases that we use here, sometimes isnt nice in other areas of the country...
isn't bloody supposed to be bad in england?
yeah. it's like the "F" word. you just dont' say it. i could never play my favorite stroke 9 song there, because everyoen freaked out on me.
yeah but stroke9 still frickin rock, its like when i came over to see you all there were certain words, i wont mention here, that i said loads and you were horrified at. Then again things you say everyday are horribly offensive to us like Oh my (fill in here with the like of lord, God etc). And take the other F word (the one you think means butt) i mean NEVER use that over here thats just plain mingin! (any other queries on the wonders of the ENGLISH language (given that name due to the fact that it was originally spoken by the Angles of Angle land - which became ENGLAND :P)then please don't hesitiate to send them on a S.A.E to me :D)
haha, fanny? oh my god, you people are WEIRD
OMG! Stroke 9- vaccuum bag is like the coolest song evvvvvver! Everyone go download it RIGHT NOW! You won't be sorry.
whoa.. ok he says "Barcelona," wat place is he talking about? cuz i stayed at a motel in Wildwood called Barcelona
hahaha, umm...i'm thinking he means barcelona, spain
..Where hamburgers go for roughly 30 bucks USD.
then they must be really good

One of my favourite quotes.
i think over there "thongs" means "flip flops". and some australian people i met in BC told me nobody over there drinks fosters beer
ROFL that is true. thongs does mean flip flops...haha...fosters rules. when i went to college it was 75 cents a pint.
Food is more expensive in England, yet beer is cheaper.. so it balances out.
my mom thinks that thongs means flip flops...and she uses it ALL the time...which creates some pretty embaressing situations...note to self: no shoe shopping with mom
hahaha your mom scares me...she's a sister crochovera clone..
hey hey, be nice now
2 things..1-my last name is CROCEVERA! maaaaaan! how long have i known you? 2-my mom and carol are nothing alike except that they're about the same height...and have 19 yr old daughters. haha, ur so weird.
hahaha. come on. my last name is easy to spell. yours, is not. get over it. move on. courtney's mom is exactly the same height as your mom. and also, as sarah.
rocko's modern life is awesome. "heh-heh... good as new!"
dan taught me that bent is ghey
rofl shut up rob thomas taught you that
what i say is.. when in rome do as the romans. ( feel free to use that. just came up with it ) point is... words are inert.
remedy = the experience
that is a dangerous liason.
i said, the comedy, is that it's serious
isn't it that "i said, the problem here, is that its serious" are you drunk danhill and confusing words?
possibly...possibly...all i'm saying is, that vodka watermelon did not help anything...
