Gatagordinha Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 This is the best thing we have to compare to poutine - chips and curry sauce, always tastes best when eaten whilst walking home from the pub on a cold winter's night. They tell me you can't get it in Southern England though. Strange. Correct me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Genius. I love it. I want it. Why do we not have that in England? I'm surprised it wasn't invented in England. There's a restaurant here that does taters n cream which is fries, shredded cheese and a really sweet sour cream with chives. I love it more than poutine. I could marry it.

armande Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 my favourite treat of all Nanaimo Bars!! in USA they call them New York Slices!they are not from there! they are from my way! SLURRRRRRP! wooow that looks so nice! lol, i have gone crazy at the moment for vegemite and cheese sandwiches I dont know if anyone has replied to you gatagordinha well, my interpretation of a bogan is some one who is generally dirty and walks around in daggy trakkies (trackpants) and ugg boots, and just isnt very respectful i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelzy Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 ok,, here's my start,, I have a friend in the US and we talk about this stuff alot...it started over Jello/Jelly of course... I called him a Mole and he didn't realise it was an insult, at first.. I said I was crook and he went.. HUH?? He didn't know what a Dunny was when I said BRB GTG use the Dunny.. or The Bush.. or The Outback.. when I described parts of Australia.. Fanny was a hilarious conversation we had one night.. anyway, here's an interesting one we discussed.. xoxoxox which are hugs and which are kisses??? I grew up with ... X is the kiss O is the hug. But he said it's the other way around over there.. (East coast USA) It might differ from country to country and even person to person..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatagordinha Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 yuummmmmmmy anyone like salmon??? being in BC~! we have so many kinds of salmon dishes! Love salmon, and all things from the sea. I often wish I lived in New England, by the sea, so I could eat lobster every day. Here in the UK lobster is a major delicacy, so expensive, hardly anyone can afford it. My parents went to Plymouth (MA) on holiday and had lobster from a stall, it was ridiculously cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(East coast USA) It might differ from country to country and even person to person..... is crook (like tired and creaky?) here x is the kiss and 0 is the hug The Bush...(the forest) ....and the Outback ( wilderness) considering Mole is never used much here ...I can't say too much about that. and about that word Roof. Americans say roof ( as in woof) and we say roof as in (hoot). thought that was very odd! of course we say "eh" and its better than "huh" or "yep" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babyblue Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 The bush is the forest... the outback is the great big desert in the middle of Australia Mole is an insult... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babspanky Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I know EXACTLY what you mean what also confuses me is 'chips' and 'crisps' USA chips=potato chips UK chips= fries (right?) Right and in the UK potato chips = crisps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babspanky Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 lol, I wish I knew where that saying comes from..it's bizarre! It seems to be more of a South Yorkshire/Nottinghamshire saying, from the coal mining areas. If that has anything to do with it (coal? monks? ) As for scone...are you posh?? I say scone as in gone, and I am from north east England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armande Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 gotta question: how do you call a friend? A colleague, just friend or mate?? in australia there are so many ways to say it, colleauge is usually for some one you work with, here, you could say; friend or mate, i reckon mate is usually for someone you know pretty well though, it is more casual BTW i really love love your signature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinga Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 ananas or pineapple?? how it is in US and UK??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babyblue Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 Another one is Ugg boots. In everywhere but Australia these are the Ugg brand...but in Australia their the type of boots, not the brand. The Ugg company recently copyrighted the name though... It gets confusing when we say how we get them cheap etc... and people think we're referring to the brand. however Ugg boots were around way before the Ugg company (they just marketed them overseas)... (their the sheepskin boots though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babspanky Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 ananas or pineapple?? how it is in US and UK??? Pineapple in the UK. And blimey isn't really rude at all, I wouldn't say it meant damn either, more, an exclamation of surprise. I use it quite a lot for example I would use it where you would use "wow" or or even "oh dear" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatagordinha Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I say scone as in gone, and I am from north east England. Well then to me, it's you who is posh!! If I said it like that in Barnsley town centre I'd get beaten up. Blimey is hide to explain.... I think its sort of like damn... I don't use it Can't believe that. Here it is very mild. Not as strong as damn, no way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
