British Lingo

[jonnybastard]

It could be argued that the english spoken by Americans is the older version. For instance words like sidewalk, faucet, vacation were once commonly used in england and exported to america. They have retained them, whereas we have evolved the language, using pavement, tap and holiday instead.

Things just aren't allowed to evolve in America are they.

 

Id tap Farrah Fawcett in her prime. Lingo's ace.

WTF is going on

[Mustangt125]

Alright how come a person like say Efan Ekoku will prnounce "Anelka" like "Anelker"?

How come a person like Ef*n Ek**u will say 'axe' instead of 'ask'? Always got me that has.

"Arks" instead of "ask". It's a London thing, common parlance amongst the Afro-Caribbean demographic. Becoming more common amongst the white N-Dubz loving chav populace too.

 

Oh, and Mustangt125, you might like to try these:

 

Can you name the common US equivalents? - sporcle

Can you name the common UK equivalents? - sporcle

I've got a mate from Ghana that says axe instead of ask. I axed him about it and he didn't even notice a difference.

[Total Longo]

"Rest room" is another one.

 

Who has a "rest" in a toilet?

 

I'm far too busy for that.

 

I do.

[Monkeywool]

I know what the language is buddy. I guess maybe I should have said slang instead of lingo. And that's why I gave an example of a "British word" such as WUM, because no Americans will have any idea what the hell that is.

 

So cheers to the people who actually posted something relevant.

 

Another is mong. Where the hell did that come from?

 

If you see Green Street Hooligans you will see the English character Pete telling the American character (Frodo) about English sayings and shit, that's what I was getting at I guess.

 

Americans use Mong too, at least in Blazing Saddles they did, called a character Mongo, which is about right for the sort of character he is.

 

This thread is a whole ball of wrong as well, beginning with calling English British and then progressively worse. Yer spazza.

[Mustangt125]

I didn't mean it like that I was just differentiating between the two.

 

Anelker....
