I desperately try not to allow things to seep into my everday useage, but Seb thinks it's hilarious when I say wanker. I also had this habit of calling people mongy gits for a while...and then he had to tell me to stop because really it's quite offensive Chat Icon How did I know???? Chat Icon

But, I've promised myself that I will never ever say "bloody 'ell" because I know Americans who have been here for 20+ years and they STILL sound stupid when they say that! Chat Icon



I beg your pardon! I sound quite normal when I say it!!!

Oh, I'm sure you sound just like a native Chat Icon (Chat Icon) Chat Icon

ETA: I do think some British words are useful - I do love to say wanker! But I'm very aware of when I want to say something and a British phrase comes to mind immediatley. And if I'm unable to find an American phrase to express exactly what I want to say it makes me really mad Chat Icon

Can't stand when people say "anywho" -I just cringe.

Oh, and when someone says "pop" - it's a soda, a Coke, whatever - not pop!

I hate the word panties. I simply can't say it!



OMG! Me too. this word gets under my skin, sounds like a dirty old man saying it every time I here it.

I just don't like "preggo." Sorry, ladies, I know a lot of people use it around the pregnancy/parenting boards, but it's just not my thing.
