I always find it interesting how we speak the same language but the words we use can mean completely different things.

Re: Off Topic 2011
Dick= short for Richard
One of your words for cigarette is also another example. You guys also have all sorts of slang that would confuse the hell out of us too.

Re: Off Topic 2011
So if there is a man out there named (insert profane word here), his name should be allowed by the censors? It wasn't even capitalized. I would think that would be an easy way to distinguish the two from each other.
Whatever.Comment

Like Fanny? I heard a British lady in class tell me she was quite offended when a roller coaster operator told her to make sure her "Fanny was strapped in tight"Comment

Re: Off Topic 2011
Well, Dick was used for a name way before it became an insult so there's that. I think Dick is the only real exception anyway, really it's not worth censoring even if it wasn't a name if you ask me.-Ohio State-

Re: Off Topic 2011
The F word? And not the commonly used one.. rhymes with.. tag. And yes, there is a lot of slang used here. Unfortunately the minority of people in the United Kingdom (Mainly under 30 years of age) dress like this....One of your words for cigarette is also another example. You guys also have all sorts of slang that would confuse the hell out of us too.

They make up words that no one has heard before and don't actually have any meaning, they have the worst taste in music imaginable, and are generally annoying. What do we call these people? Chavs..
Not all of them are teenagers though. The United Kingdom isn't very united at all. If you don't dress like a chav or listen to their music, they judge you or even go as far as beating the crap out of you. Oh.. and anyone who speaks proper english is an idiot to them.A Chav is a stereotype of certain young people in the United Kingdom. "Chavs" are said to be aggressive teenagers, of white working class background, who repeatedly engage in anti-social behaviour such as street drinking, drug abuse and rowdiness, or other forms of juvenile delinquency.Comment
