January 7, 200719 yr Loads of people on this thread seem to have done the same thing, but a few of the words you're saying are wrong. Bathroom->Loo, The Toilet - I've don't think I've ever said loo in my life. Garbage Man->Dustman - Well, dust-bin man. (Since when has my bin been full of dust... hmmm...) Horny->Randy - Not true at all, they are two different words. Line->Queue - We say both over here. Umbrella->Brolly - Lol, I think you'll find brolly is short for/a nick name for an umbrella :wink: Call it a brolly and you're either very camp or a 60 year old woman. :P

January 7, 200719 yr I never really got what "knickers" are. Are they underwear? I'm American and I've never heard someone refer to underwear as "pants". :? Apparently, here in America, Jelly, Jam, and Preserves are three completely different things. Jam may = Preserves though. I'm not sure. here in england we speak proper english! and underwear is pants! and trousers are trousers....

January 7, 200719 yr Isn't there a whole jelly/jam/preserve thing too? I've never quite got my head around it either... jelly and jam are two diffrent things, jam is more friuty and has less sugar whereas i have no idea what preserve is.

January 7, 200719 yr :wall: Why? There is no fire involved. That one has always puzzled me. But your "flashlights" don't flash. :P Ah. Yes we can make them flash by turning them on and off! :D And, when the batteries start to die, they do flash. Your "torches" will never become fire! :P

Yes we can make them flash by turning them on and off! :D And, when the batteries start to die, they do flash. Your "torches" will never become fire! :P You're both way out. The reason they are called torches are because in early-life, they used fire on the end of a rod or stick of some sort. Ever seen Tomb Raider? Even Lara Croft uses them to go through tunnels. Therefore, I think both of you can now see where the term Torch comes from? It's an electrical alternative. End of arguement. :P -Mitch New sig to come!
