I was having a read at mant threads and I found it funny how US and UK use the same lanugage but different versions.

Like color in UK is colour

Mom in UK is Mum

And Pissed in the UK is another way to say drunk

Pants in the UK are a type of Underwear,

Trousers is UK for pants

Also football in Brittian is different, it's Soccer in US

Is it only me what finds this funny

lol, the "colour" thing also goes for Canadians.

There's also "jumpers", which means "sweaters" in the UK.

most of those are the same for aussie to US comparisons... except the last one goes the other way we use soccer instead of football...

in the US 'thongs' are g-strings in australia 'thongs' are flip-flops

Ermm, you know that I meant that here we say sweaters and you guys say jumpers, right? I'm just really misinterpreting what you said?

Curtis, I'm Canadian and I say Mum... Also, we tend to say pop and soft drink as well as soda.

Nah, up in Scotland he don't usually say soft drink of anything like it's the name of the brand or juice, one of the two

Irn-Bru well the best though

budgie · Post by **budgie** » Fri Jul 06, 2007 12:40 am
