Hi Wee,

It was Sri Lanka. The British VSO volunteers used to tease us

American English teachers asking how we could teach English when all

we spoke was American lol. Patootie is a G-rated word for butt.

 

Wishing you a happy healthy New Year & always

Diane

Yeah, in the UK, you might say " arse "

or " tush " or " bottom " or " rump " ...

I was going to add tuckus, but it's not spelled that way,

and turns out to not be British, after all (however, perhaps

buttocks, which it references, might be?):

 

tok·us / & #716;t & #596;x & #601;s, & #712;t & #650;x & #601;s/

–noun Slang. the buttocks.

 

Also, tochis, tuchis.

I think tush is American, Erin, I have never heard that over here

except on American TV programmes. Arse or bum (but neither in polite

company), bottom, derriere (if we're feeling particularly European). I

haven't heard rump, except referring to animals, but then there are so

many regional variations.

Hi Diane,

 

I have many good friends in Sri Lanka and they all keep asking me to come over

for a

holiday of a lifetime but up till now, I haven't even thought of that.

First thing's first, USA is on my mind this minute

 

You guys are too funny & always using funny words and I keep learning them on

here

 

I guessed it meant butt but wanted to hear it from you for complete

confirmation.

 

Wishing you & yours the most awesome 2007.

Wee
