#3 in row one and #3 in row 4 are the only two I'm missing.

fine....

Bollocks and Toss respectively,

unless I'm mistaken.


you may have been wrong about some of them too, ;) I'm just too much of a gentleman to repeat any of that.

We now have enough british TV to understand way more then we use to. (We had no idea what a Mac was and why the banker would want to wear one back in the 60's)

But we don't hear the curses. So Bollocks and Toss make no sense. Well Bollocks might be butt cheeks? Balls?
No clue about Toss.

Are you really that interested in English people that could make a sailor blush? or is it simply something about the accent?

;)

I think the only time I've heard you say that is when explaining it to your son.

Chuff is dirty,

chuffed is not

well chuffed is just asking for trouble.

edit: that really has to be one of the worst translation lists it has been my displeasure to see.

example...

**** - when curled off the edge of the tongue in British English, it doesn't share quite the same horror it does when used in the United States. it's very commonly heard and used.

not to mention the lack of knowledge about the majority of the words, rhyming slang is mentioned, but examples of it are met with a complete lack of knowledge?

curious.

oops, caught your meaning, disregard.

My apologies to dougall, turn away please.

I thought I'd sent you this one before and giggled at your dismissal of it then. ;)

Mavyn wrote:Contact Stephen Fry? Maybe Graham Norton.

Or...Jeremy Clarkson. He'd like that, I think.

He'd end up giggling halfway through.

Jeremy Clarkson giggling is a good thing, though!

Good afternoon, everybody!

Oh...I was thinking the entire point would be giggles. Not worried about comprehension. Where's the fun in that?

Hello!

Well, I guess the less said, the easier it is.

Hiding in my mom's basement today :P

Got in free to the science center because I knew it was pi day and I could say pi out to 10 digits (after that they bumped it to 50 so I was lucky - I can't get that far without a cheat sheet).

One more day hanging with the parents, going to go visit friend's mom who is in the hospital.

Still need to do Ver1's science experiment, I'm such a slacker!

Wow.

Had dinner with dougall and then quilted while he packed for camping this weekend (boyscout thing).

Yay! I managed to get most of the lines straight!

And with that I'm retreating to the other rooms of the house and maybe going to bed. Good night, or not.

If you come back, I have a question. If something calls for olive oil, can I sub canola oil, or does it depend on what it's for?

I realized that when I read some of the comments in here, I get a mental image of some of you.

This is what it looks like:

Oh that's too funny!

pooflady wrote:If you come back, I have a question. If something calls for olive oil, can I sub canola oil, or does it depend on what it's for?

Depends on what it is for. For dressings, I would not substitute, since the oil is a major flavor component. For frying, probably fine to swap, just watch the temperature.

Canola has a higher smoke temp, right?

Let me Google that for you.
