difference between U.S. English and British English
« on: May 21, 2011, 04:20:54 PM »
You say "sidewalk" we say "pavement"

You say "pants" we say "trousers"

You say "trunk" we say "boot"

You say "hood" we say "bonnet"

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

Nope, I've done 5. And I saw someone do it 7 times.
