Blue Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Mappa Tassie : map of Tasmania - a woman's pubic area I remember that one. My favourite Ozzie word is 'esky'. Sometimes I can't even remember the right Dutch or English word for this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backflip_76 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I think he actually says something a little more offensive than bloody (Show us what your f-ing worth!) Well yes, I know he says that sometimes...like at Lowlands in Holland. But I think most of the time (or at least in the US) he says "bloody".

Gatagordinha Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Manchester : Household linen, eg sheets etc. That's funny! I see why though. This is where the industrial revolution and textiles industry started (I live near Manchester). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artsyfartsy17 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 we pronounce SCONE the same as BONE, but in Lancs they pronounce it like GONE, and they say I 'sound posh' when I say it in my accent (I'm anything but posh!) Scone is a strange one! Omg, thank you. Got into a silly argument over this word one night with some aussies. *glares at Baby and Kelzy* They kept telling me that it was "sconn" instead of "scohwn" and that only americans pronounced it the other way. (Because everyone knows we're silly gits who don't know how to talk.) And you live in the UK! That's wonderful. *does an in-your-face dance at the aussies* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatagordinha Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Okay, I have a question. What would you call the bread product in this picture (not the filling, just imagine the bread, the round shaped bread thing. It's just ordinary plain bread): In Britain there are around 100 million ( nearly!) different names for it depending on where you live. It causes much confusion! I would call it a teacake, being from Yorkshire. Some call it a bread roll, or a barm cake, or a bap, or a stottie cake. I have had arguments with friends over this!! What about other countries?

babspanky Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Nope! And certainly not before the age of 25 or so, particularly in the case of younger siblings. It leaves a very short window of time, really. Don't forget to make hay while the sun shines then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babspanky Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I've heard people around here (north east England) say "chocka" for full. I don't know if it is confined to the north east, but we sure do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babspanky Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I love this thread!! It reminds me a bit of Bill Bryson's books! I think he actually says something a little more offensive than bloody (Show us what your f-ing worth!) A couple of different ones in the different states here in Oz include polony/ luncheon meat (processed meat roll) swimmers/bathers/togs (swimming outfit) peanut butter/peanut paste (people in syd look at you weirdly if you say peanut paste!) port/backpack (schoolbag) nikko/marker (my company is based in Brisbane and they sent someone in melbourne out to get a "nikko" (which is a brand but is used as a general term for a marker pen) and they came back 2 hours later saying they couldn't get one anywhere! there are prob heaps more if I think about it! You can get polony here, but the stuff that you get in the supermarket has nothing on and is nothing like the polony you get from a proper pork butcher, you couldn't call it luncheon meat either.

Is that just a regular sized one? In the north east it would be a bread bun and a stottie cake is much bigger, kind of pizza size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Okay, I have a question. What would you call the bread product in this picture What about other countries? When I first saw it I thought bap but I don't know if that's from living in London or watching too much Coronation Street. I call them buns in Canada. A large one of a particular shape is a kaiser roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
