Of all people, you shouldn't be mentioning pinching OR punching xp

As to things which only the British seem to say....a favourite from the WestCountry in particular....

"Where's it to?" Meaning, of course, "Where is it"

The number of people who used to look at me blankly when I used that particular colloquialism....gah! It's always made perfect sense to me.

I used to say that all the time, except to me it also could've meant "Where does this go". eek It was scary. I haven't a clue where I keep picking these things up from.

And Cockney rhyming is fascinating. n_n I heart it.

I amuse my class by using British terms - simple words in everyday usage in England are immediately laughed at when mentioned in my class.

A mere 'Morning, mate!' will invoke a classroom of laughter xd

Nor should you, which means you have no defense when I say that you and ;>> <<; SYD role play [Kinkily] as Mary and Joseph, because you're both that old and probably knew them both first hand. *Cough. Coughcoughcough*
ew, mental images.

=\ But that seems pretty clear to me, but I've generally thought of it the way Dana said it would mean, "Where does this go"

Funny you should say that, I wasn't quite then.

OMGWTFBBQ?
Wow. o.o

The word 'aye' meaning 'yes' is used in Scotland a lot, though I myself never really got into the habit. I do however use 'wee' as a substiture for 'little'. Anything else, I can't remember, except maybe this sentence: "I never did that." Meaning, of course, "I didn't do that."

As a borderline Welsh/English guy, I'll add in too.

We use 'Aye' a lot, same with 'wee'. Scot slang is similar to Welsh, I guess. Then, of course, there's the good ol' stereotypical Rhonda valley talk. Accent included. "Aw-riiight, but-ty, 'ows it go--in'?"

Welsh people get too much flak I find, it never seems quite fair.

I have to admit, I also use the word "aye" quite frequently. It COULD be because my father is a Scotsman (although he sounds like a Janner through and through)...But then again, I use words which apparently are not in general use any longer. As an example, if someone where to say something I believed to be incorrect, unpleasant, inaccurate, or I merely suspected was an untruth....?

Fie! sir. I think not.

Apparently, very few people still use it, but it's a great word in my opinion. Better than responding to everything with the word "bollox"...~chuckles~ Yes, it IS the correct spelling, if you're an ex Plymouth High Girl. Trust me.

'bugger'. I like that one. (:
'shite' - a peculiar, but strangely fulfilling, alternative pronunciation of a popular profanity.
'arse' - same as above. Spouted by that fine purveyor of hilarious catchphrases, father jack.



Oh, and did anyone know that the phrase 'Good-bye' is actually a contraction of the phrase 'God be with ye'? Seriously. Aha! wink

Aye, I use those three frequently! However, I only use 'aye' online. wink
