Annoying Americanisms

[Unrighteous]

It's aboot time Canada were put in their place, they are America's bitch buddy!

 

Hey now.

 

[Faustus]

Well they don't call themselves The Royal Post do they? smeg.

 

No, but you "post" a letter, you don't "mail" it. The Royal Mail is the service that deals with the post.

 

Smeg.

I don't think mall is as my aunty calls the sloped shops in huyton village the mall.

[Elmyn Noos]

just trying to right the wrong of your mistaken usage of the word biscuit

 

thats all Noos... that is all

 

Cookies are sweets?? What do you think sweets are then? Sweets are things like chewy nuts and liquorice allsorts. Cookies are biscuits.

[odris]

No, but you "post" a letter, you don't "mail" it. The Royal Mail is the service that deals with the post.

 

Smeg.

 

Well i say often "I have to mail this letter" so there, hold on and i will e-post you the transcript, smeg.

[Woo]

In the words of an American; "odris, what a douche!"

[Elmyn Noos]

Is Mall an Americanism? I used to think it was but then there is Pall Mall but we pronounce it Mall instead of Maul.

 

I think the Mall in Pall Mall is an old word for a long wide street or something. I could be wrong though as I can't be arsed to google it.

 

I'd be curious to find out how many yanks turn up there every year hoping to see a JC Penny.

[Guest davelfc]

'fanny' you arse.

[hamstrung]

They have a nasty habit of extending words that have no right to be extended.

 

That geezer who won loads of swimming medals at the olympics was the "winningest" swimmer ever.

 

See also "monied", "storied" etc

[Unrighteous]

Bloody Canadians think they rule everything, including this thread. Unrighteous is now officially up Woo boys rear end.

 

What makes you think I won't cut you?!

Three pages and no mention of,

jeez, get with the programme.

[Kevin D]

The complete lack of either " hey guys" or " dude" horrifies me.

[Woo]

Because your Canadian, you couldn't cut a pack of cards.

I'm amazed they don't refer to it as 7/24/365. You do the Math, b-dogg, Woooooooo, Holler and Whatnot.

[RobbieOR]

It's also commonly known as cafeteria. Don't get me started on the Irish fuck ups.

 

'It's cold so it is.'

 

I know, you just said it is cold, there is no need to fucking repeat it a second after you have just said it. :wallbutt::wallbutt::wallbutt::wallbutt:

 

Anyway back to the American ones.

 

The word 'sneakers' really irritates me. It sounds like a slang term for a stalker, not things you put on your feet.

 

No, you are watching too many darby o gill and the little people films Woo my man. Yu stereotypical eejit. Thats bollocks Lance. Its used over here by culchies because of the Gaelic.

Who came up with the phrases "addicting" and "meh" by the way? I got a suspect.

What is meh? I've seen it a few times but have no clue as to its meaning.

[Remmie]

What is meh? I've seen it a few times but have no clue as to its meaning.

I think it means average or unspectacular. Say the word out to yourself. "I saw the latest sneakers by Doucci and Gabbana at the Mall and I was like, whatever, they are so Meh". It's like Homer's annoyed grunt "d'oh" only so less imaginative. The personification of inarticulate,idle msn generation fuckwittery. Your bad.

Ill cut YOU, Woo.

The theft of the letter 'U' from words like colour.

[RJ Fan club]

The theft of the letter 'U' from words like colour.

 

I harbor a grudge with them for that reason.

You're right there RK. Even more annoying is when spellcheck corrects your correct spelling to make it the wrong american spelling.

[RedKnight]

Just so you know, I am free to rep/neg you again. You don't want to be so flagrant armed with that knowledge.

[Remmie]

Spelling centre c-e-n-t-e-r and then pronouncing it Senna like the Grand prix driver. Then the dipshit company I work adding "Computa" before this spelling.

Evil yanks trying to Americanize us all against our own will.
