newcastle brown ale?

 

I think my favorite was
British = hood
American = convertible top.

Brit/yank

Spanner/wrench.

Football/soccer.






And don't forget that

in the US depending on region a Pepsi is either, pop (north east), soda, (west and midwest) or coke (south)

If you want a COKE you better specify Coca Cola...

SO that one is unusable as Brit/English...

I'm sure I will again become aquainted with the beauty of saying something in "British" to a friend, like "Help me fold the hood" and watch their eyes grow wide.

 

brits ? hood ?
no way i call it a convertible, not a hood

 

Have to say, I have never heard of hood been used in terms of a convertible either.

With regard to a drunk scotsman, most you will find are okay, the issue is that most of the world seems to think scottish men all sound like the are from the rough areas of Glasgow, where as most are soft spoken and speak very clear english. Otherwise I would be able to work here in scotland as I am from YORKSHIRE !!!

By the way, don't forget where english came from... american english is when one of your policital types decided to make it simplier, and made changes to the spelling of words like colour, (color) etc...

 

WHEN IT COMES TO BEER.......I LOVE GUINESS AND HAVE A COUPLE OF PINTS IN THE FRIDGE.
I LIKE GERMAN BEER TOO, MOSTLY WARSTEINER, BITBURGER, AND ORIGINAL MUNICH BY PAULANER.
WHAT IS ANOTHER GOOD BRITISH BEER ?

 

How about "******"

 

Last time I was in the States, I was in a bar with a few folks. At the time I was making my own cigarettes (common occurence here in the UK) as the bar was non-smoking I stood up, took my baccy tin out of my pocket and said "I'm just off to roll a ***" - I was immediately wrestled back to my seat by two of the people I'd been drinking with as they thought I meant "I'm going to mug a gay man" instead of "I'm just going to make and smoke a cigarette."

Different bar, same trip, but a smoking bar this time, I took my baccy tin out and started to roll a smoke - immediately everyone closes ranks around me making a sort of human shield (presumably CCTV in the bar) and one guy says - "Jesus man, where are you from, around here we only do pot in private!" 'larious!

I remember having a conversion with a Scottish Soldier when I was doing some military training in Northern England. I could not understand a word he was saying. I simply smiled and nodded my head. Heck, there are some people with such strong accents over here that I have a problem understanding.

Cheers!!

We can't understand them either.
That's why the Roman emperor Hadrian built a wall to keep them out.
