You say "pants" we say "trousers"

You say "sidewalk" we say "pavement"

You say "hood" we say "bonnet"

You say "trunk" we say "boot"

You say "buried at sea" we say "chained to a cast iron radiator with a car battery attached to his testicles"

..

You say "She's a babe" we say "That birdie......very easy on the eye"

You say "Are you lookin' at my Arse?" we say "Are you lookin' at my Bun?"

Horny if you're English
If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.

There was a time when the term thong referred to flip flop type shoes.

Now it refers to something else entirely.

 when i visited the UK in 2005 i remember people saying "yeah" after everything.

 eating at Nandos in Cambridge ( the best chicken sandwiches ) "what kind of sandwich do u want yeah" "do u want any hot sauce on that yeah"
 

 the dumbest thing i saw was at Heathrow, u have to pay for parking, go get your vehicle then leave the lot, if not done in time u have to pay again.
