For everyone else, yeah.

But here we say it's dinner time at around midday and in the evening we cook our tea :lol:

[Fire Pearl]

No wonder they call you....


Oh.

:lol: 'teabags' (sorry)


You cook 'TEA' for dinner? Hehehe that's a classic sentence :lol:

[SweeneyxxTodd]

lol Yeah, tea for dinner. Wow...so different from here.

I wish I had more American phrases but I already shared all the ones I can think of already.

[Fire Pearl]

I know that feeling. Remember when I tried to give you a list of German insults? You use and hea so many all day, but when you wanna write them down, you suddenly don't remember anymore.

I just re-watched the video Krista posted. And I realized that "Jizz" can be considered an American saying :lol:

I won't post what it means because you looked it up :P You know what it means Laura.

[Fire Pearl]

Oh yeah I do. Great use of a dictionary :wacko: Can you imagine the faces of my classmates if I told them what English words I 'learnt' thanks to the internet? (and you guys LOL)

Try to explain why you know the word 'jizz' in another language :lol: Twould be funny :lol:

[Kaz]

You dirty minded you-know-whats!!!

I actually didn't know what that meant. Till now :unsure:

I thought of something to share with you guys but it's pretty innocent so I'm not sure if you'll be interested.

Menshi = a graffiti signature

I don't doodle on my notbook when I'm bored, I menshi it. ^_^

Kazzy that word is amazing. I'm going to start using it. And I'm not even jking you.

Jking = kidding. (pronounce j and k and then add ing, so jay-kay-ing)

Carol and I say it all the time. Basically it's just bringing AIM speak to every day spoken word.

I'd never heard the word "jizz" until I saw that video, but I thought it was easy to figure out what it meant from watching it. I mean, the movements...really. lol.

Yeah, I can't imagine trying to explain "jizz" in another language.

idk if this is American or not, but I've never seen any British people on TV or in movies say, "Don't make me (insert action here)" with extreme attitude.

You know, like "Don't make me come over there!" Stereotypical parenting phrase. Another stereotypical phrase of parents: "(insert event or place here) isn't going anywhere!" They say the second one to try and convince us that going somewhere isn't important. What sucks is that half the time, whatever we want to go to or see DOES go somewhere.

:lol: Menshi sounds really cool if you ask me! Kind of cute actually *shot*

You didn't even know what it meant? LOL Why does my dictionary know it???!!! Shit. I'm so messed up :lol:

My English teacher uses that phrase quite often, Mary. No good example, I reckon, but it's definitly such a parents thing to say :rolleyes: *same saying here`...almost*

[SweeneyxxTodd]

dictionary.com knows what jizz means :rolleyes:

And I think I've exhausted all American phrases. I literally can't think of any more.

[Fire Pearl]

But the dictionary I use, is made by normal online users that make some entries. WHY DID THEY THINK THIS WORD WOULD BE IMPORTANT??? :wacko:


:lol: Dwell in your modesty and wisdom shall enlighten you!


[/random] What happened to the song idea you had once, btw? ^_^

Parents here all seem to use the same saying when they're angry:

"My arm hurts"

"I'll give you hurt!"

OR

"Can I go out on my bike?"

"Bike? I'll give you bike!"


I was always like, "Umm...I've already got one, dad."

:lol:

[Fire Pearl]

LOL That's funny. Parents here use something slightly similiar. It's like:


-Can I have a new bike?

- Bike? I'll show you bike!


:lol:

"Yes, I see it and it's pretty."

LOL

Funny thing, but, parents here say the same things.


We should stop it. It's just stupid.

[Fire Pearl]

What exactly is stupid?

[Flank]

To answer "I'll give you ... !" to your children. I don't think it's a good way to talk with children.

[Fire Pearl]

No not really. Poor things...getting their hopes high to be 'crushed'.

[Kaz]

We say we'll break the cycle but I don't think it'll work that way when we actually get there. LOL

It's the catch 22. You say you won't then you wake up one day and realise you've been saying it. ^_^

Parents here don't say that.

But I thought of another American phrase!!

The shiz = awesome.

If something is the shiz, it's awesome.

Like me. I'm the shiz. All day. Everyday. Forever.

I can't seem to get a hold of a mic, and it's too big of a project for snapvine to handle.
