Yes, a warning for anyone that buys kebabs with Chilli sauce on the way back from the pub, don't, whatever you do, don't take a pee before you have heavily scrubbed yer mitts, as that chilli has a way of warming and creeping and there is not always a tub of ice cream in the fridge..

or ... do what all forward thinking 20-something single female UK binge drinkers do become faithful to one local kebab house that sells tubs of Ben & Jerries alongside aforementioned evil-kebabs-of-chilli-doom this also comes in handy for pacifying the hangoever come morning

Aneirin -> RE: Terminology across the pond (10/26/2008 3:04:35 PM)
Not as much fun as smoothing over the ice cream and putting it back in the freezer !

softness -> RE: Terminology across the pond (10/26/2008 3:08:14 PM)
reminds self to set combination lock on freezer if ever Aneirin is in town

From what I can gather,you'll be disappointed at the result if you order that in the US. In parts I've come across the use of the pickled onion vinegar on your fish and chips,well worth a try.

GreedyTop -> RE: Terminology across the pond (10/26/2008 5:48:50 PM)
the fish and chips here are a FAR cry from the ones there (as I discovered). I was expecting a piece of fish roughly the size of the palm of my hand (maybe a bit larger)..what I GOT was a piece roughly the length and breadth of my forearm... I couldnt eat the whole thing.

I had fish and chips in Las Vegas and was confronted by these weird dough balls that looked remarkably like labrador testicles in with them, fortunately for guide dogs everywhere they were meat free. I often cook with chillies, especially scotch bonnets and use my fingernails to scrape out the seeds, I can sometimes be seen staggering around blinded, cursing at my own forgetfulness when I wipe sweat out of my eyes. The tipping thing in America kills me, I told several taxi drivers to get stuffed. No one told me you only tip the maid at the end of the stay, I left money for mine every bloody day. The one thing I will miss from Europe when I emigrate, apart from everything, will be the chocolate, US chocolate is dreadful stuff.

I'm afraid to ask how you are so familiar with lab balls....

tweedydaddy -> RE: Terminology across the pond (10/26/2008 6:56:17 PM)
I made the usual remark when watching my in laws lab washing his nuts in front of the fire. "I wish I could do that," quick as flash came the answer, "Give him a biscuit and he'll probably let you."

The one thing that I must mention about mushy peas is that they are not merely soaked in water, they are dosed with a powerful tablet of bicarbonate of soda, to make them swell, this causes incredible flatulence and is a strong diuretic, so in addition to farting the duvet to the ceiling on a regular basis, you are very likely to piss the bed. Just thought I'd share my experience

GreedyTop -> RE: Terminology across the pond (10/26/2008 7:23:58 PM)
omg... thank you SO MUCH for both visuals!!!

So the word udderpants (not a nasally congested accent in earshot) may be of equal distain ? Probably don't need to take the trouble to define this term do I ?

Aneirin -> RE: Terminology across the pond (10/27/2008 4:02:33 AM)
Underpants = undercrackers = shreddies = gruds.

piratecommander -> RE: Terminology across the pond (10/27/2008 4:50:49 AM)
Udderpants = Titpants , "over the shoulder boulder holders" (etc)

First time many years ago I went to a business meeting in England, my host asked "Fancy a fag, mate?" Hmmmm, and I thought procuring wasn't likely to happen at a morning (excuse me..."Brekker") meeting. Imagine my disappointment when I learned he wanted to offer me a cigarette? And at lunch, one of the "girls" (it was acceptable in England to call women 10 years older than me "the girls" in the office) ordered a lemon shandy. And the other ordered a red shandy. To think you people claim to have invented malted beverages, and then do THAT to them!!!!? and finally: quote: KittinSol (HI CUTIE): Well, you wouldn't wear pants. They're mostly for men. You'd be wearing knickers. Incidentally, the word 'panties' makes me feel queasy. I don't know why. I kinda like "panties"...its cute. "knickers" reminds me too much of "knackers" which means either "tired" or "horse butcher". So, while we are at it, how are you on "moist"? Ms. Emperor has been reading a study which says that Americans react negatively to "moist", finding it a word with unpleasant connotations, often sexual. So you probably won't see any advertisements for "moist" Pepperidge Farm cakes. I kinda like the word "moist". Do you? E.
