"Babby's Yead" or Baby's Head? minus the kidneys? Anyone know what a double double refers to in Canada?
- two creams, two sugars in your coffee? - two creams, two sugars at Tom Horton's? Okay, so here's mine - do they have english muffins in England? |

okay the English muffin sounds the same as what we call an English muffin, which is not at all like our "regular muffins" which are more like a cupcake, just not so sweet. Do you have cupcakes over there? We bake them in muffin pans! |

While the four in a bed sounds like a crowded idea, Pelagia got this one. A double double is a coffee from Tim Horton's with two cream two sugars. |

And Okarol, a boot is something we put on a foot, right? So boot to bonnet would be quite different in North America than in Britain.

No they are called Muffins. There's English muffins and muffins which are like a cup cake. Small cup cakes in the UK are called Fairy Cakes. |

Same in UK. It's also the hood on a car and the boot is the trunk. Anybody know what car fenders are called in the Uk and the windshield? Twirl what's a dip and why is it bad in the south? |

dip is chewing tobacco
that stuff you chew and spit
we had a yankee teacher come to work for us and she saw a referral - a student had been sent to the principal for dipping in class -
she thought he got up and danced and dipped his parnter
it is bad b/c of the cancer causing factors
and have you ever knocked over a spit-can-- very sickening---- chewed tobacco spit
Ken your buns are getting cold

The fender is a wing, I think ? Do all school children in the UK have rubbers? LOL That's a controversial subject in the US! |

and then there are bumpers that hang off the side of boats.
The whole British pudding thing is also very confusing. Here in the US pudding is a sweet dessert, kind of like an egg custard, but thickened with cornstarch or maybe tapioca and cooked on the stove rather than baked. What do you call that in England?
aubergine is a color in our country, but a food in other places

I thought rubbers were shoes you wear over your shoes in the rain for protection
wait
that does sound like the rubber you wear over something else for protection, does not matter if it is raining or not
when I was in school we called those plastic shoes rubbers

In the English Caribbean we have a mixture of both vocabularies - British and US. So we tend to use both interchangeably. However, because of the influence of American TV, our last generation is losing the British Vocabulary. Don't think any of them would know what a 'lorry' was, and that was the word we used when I was a child.
What's a 'lorry'?

In Canada a "cordial" is like a mixed drink (eg: rum & coke) in Australia a "cordial" is a drink you make up from syrup (sort of like kool-aid in the US i guess) and kids get hyper on red cordial!! and more contraversial along the lines of rubbers (which down here are the erasers not what you put on your ahem... )... in the USA you "root" for your team (ie: support or barrack).. in oz that will get you tears of laughter (or red faces) because "to root" down here is something you may well need those rubbers for... unless they're aussie rubbers ! Yes to "root" is to have sex (or "hook up" as they say). You can imagine my hysterics on my first visit to the US in the 90's when I saw an ad on TV for the "rapid rooter" (some kind of weeder) .....  |
