In walks a friend of mine, my favorite psychopath in fact. He corresponded with someone in Austrailia and just told me that she had no idea what a peanut butter and jelly sandwich is.

No PBJs in Austrailia ? Wow. Actually that doesn't bother me, but that gun control thing........ other than that I would probably be there.

Honey, they eat the vegemite there. Hard limit.

My personal favourite place name is "Loughborough".

I was asked yesterday when we (the English) celebrated "Thanksgiving". I thought that was amusing.

Tab is also a north eastern term for a fag (as in cigarette)

quote:

ORIGINAL: IvyMorgan

The other thread about paying Tabs got me thinking...

A "Tab" is a Cambridge university student. And the word Tab can be used to apply to a few other things Cambridge University related.

If you're an Oxford student, you may well say "Tab" as a kind of mock insult.

Hey GT, I hope you are taking notes, come and live in the UK, you are going to need a good education in slang as well as our usage of our English language.

Plonker is in this case a euphemism for the male member.......ie: a "Dick"

in that case, Plonker is perfectly acceptable when applied to GW
