While in the UK, I learned a few new words (or used in a different context) that I thought were pretty funny...
British --> US
¤slow coach -- slow poke
¤squash -- juice (kind of, needs to be diluted). I was asked in the morning if I wanted tea or squash and I thought "squash for breakfast!?!)
¤bin -- trash can (I was laughed at when I asked for the trash can)
¤tea -- dinner
¤cheers -- thank you
¤pikeys -- people that live in caravans and are a little crazy
¤aggra (It didn't give you too much aggra) -- trouble (short for aggravation haha)
