Because alot of you are American, or at least speak America English as your second language, and I'm English, I've compiled this list if slang words I might use that might confuse you...just to make it all clear...
If you can think of any, or want to ask me any, then please do!
Words: Chips - now you guys call these FRIES...we call them chips...what you call potato chips, we call CRISPS.
University - When you guys finish school, you go to college to get a degree...in England, college is something we go to for 2 years to take subjects of our own choice, AFTER college we go to University, which is the equivalent of your college.
Cinema - You call it the Theatre...it's the place you go to watch movies.
Holiday - you call this a Vacation..when I say I go on holiday, it means I'm going on a vacation, not celebrating Christmas or Easter or something.
Knackered - If I say this it means I'm really tired.
Lift - This is technically the word for Elevator, however it is also slang..if I use it, it means I got a Ride...yer know..someone drove me somewhere in their car..
Mobile Phone - you call it a cell phone.
Pillock, Plonker or Numpty - These 3 words all mean an idiot.
Bollocks - Testicles. We English use this as another way of saying "oh s**t" or "oh crap".
Fanny - Fanny is NOT your butt, as some Americans say...do NOT refer to it in England because it means female genitalia. You have been warned xp
Nowt - This is something only people from Northern England say, so that means me....it means "nothing".
Phrases Bugger All - This means "nothing"..if you say "so what did you do today?" and I say "bugger all", it means I did nothing..

Incinerella Being from London, when I moved 'up North' I could barely understand some of the sentences due to the difference in slang. Although now I'm used to it I use it so that people understand meie. Wagon - a Lorry or Truck, not something out of cowboy movies it's Maffin'/Maftin' in here- it's hot in here They still use queer to mean unusual instead of an insult Also has anyone else ever heard a woodlouse called a cheeselog?
Wherabouts "up North"...I'm from the North area and I've never heard of Maffin...nor of a cheeselog xp sweatdrop
