OK! Here is a blog with words. Words the English people use, and words I/we use. I probably will have to add some, and if you wish to do the same comment me or something and I'll see if it's true. If it is, I'll add it to the list!!!!
English Words = American Words
Cheers = Thanks!
Garden = Yard (back)
knackered = exhausted
torch = flashlight
Knob = idiot
Muppet = idiot as well, maybe jerk?.. I think
Snog = kiss/make-out... hehe they actually say it, and it sound really weird if I say it.
Status (like Stay-tus) = Status (saying the "a" like apple)
I don't know if you say it the same as me but it's one my housemate Marta makes fun of me for... hehe
Pants = Underwear
haha me housemates keep having to tell me not to say pants when I mean jeans! haha
When they want to say a guy looks good (hot) they usually say fit! Not like he works out fit, but he is just cute or something like that. I never say that... maybe some of you do?
And when a guy isn't that good looking they say something else, but I'm not sure what it is... oops!
I've notice people don't say "I don't really want to do it", they rather say "I can't be bothered." Such as "I can't be bothered to make food right now." Or "I can't be bothered to put the tables back where they go." It's not so much a negative thing, but if they don't want to do homework or something they'll say it. Then again, it can be a negative thing too.
That's all I got so far... ok!
