Howdy Mike,

Well as you know I am not from the UK, but from L.A. (lower arkansas), however, I was an administrator at UKChat for awhile...I was the one who booted ppl for various reasons including foul language.
Well being from arkansas, I learned quite abit from my experiences there. Some are listed below:

1. "Pissed"- here in the states, it means "madder than a wet hen" but in the UK, it means Drunk.......(dont ask me, I dont know how they came up with that lol ).

2. A "manc" is a person from mancaster (sp?).

3. A Lanc is a person from lancastershire.

4. "Cockney" is a language unto itself, dont try to understand it and you will be able to avoid long weeks of psycho-therapy.

And lastly, this took me a few weeks to learn, alot of ppl blame it on me being a redneck from the deep south.......
5. A "Brolly" is not a piece of female clothing, its an umbrella

A few other things I learned were they dont have "hoods" on their vehicles, they have "bonnets", a "banger" is a sausage and not a wild sex starved female.

Anyway, i hope this helps, I really enjoyed my dealings with ppl from the UK while I hosted the chatroom, it was educational for me and i think they may have learned a thing or two about us "yanks" (Like us ppl down here in the south dont like being called anything that sounds like "yankee" or what we call "perpitraitors of unprovoked northern aggression".

have a good day,

Greg
