Guest guest Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Hi Wee, We have our very own Scottish lass in here. We have Christie. You have a fun time visiting with Liz. I worked with Ev for 15 years and I can say she had the best sense of humor and more than one time I took her words for things a different way....LOL Especially when she was explaining about the bagpiper and I thought she was talking about a bag of paper. Here's one for you. When I worked in reservations for a hotel one of the UK customers asked the receptionist for a rubber and she told him to go to the gift shop and buy them, he looked so blank and said, don't you just have an old used one then. She said, you should be asahmed of yourself. This poor guy, it dawned on me he must want an eraser. I handed him an eraser and he said, you are a gracious one and I thank you, that woman is so rude and I had no plan of stealing her rubber! LOLOLOL Smiles and a laugh!

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 -Donna, This sort of thing happens all the time with my friend across the pond. I mentioned once about my fanny being tired and he was shocked. He explained that in his part of the world a woman's fanny is slang for her female private parts.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Even though I know what it means in USA, Deanna, it still seems vaguely shocking to me and feels so wrong to hear someone discuss their fanny quite so openly and in mixed company, LOL.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Dear Genny, That is so true, lol :-))) " Flog " in UK is a slang which means " sell " In the US, it means " smashed it up " , go figure, lol :-) I won't use that one if I ever visit the States, ha, lol :-) Best Wishes, Wee On Behalf Of genny_y2k Sunday, May 14, 2006 8:45 PM Re: tatties Wee OT -Donna, This sort of thing happens all the time with my friend across the pond.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Dear Donna, Ha! Ha! Ha! That was so funny<smile> On the subject of slang, for now, at least. I am not too sure but I think " brolli " means " Umbrella " in Scotland. Christie will be able to confirm that one :-) Best Wishes, Wee On Behalf Of Donnalilacflower Sunday, May 14, 2006 8:33 PM RE: tatties Wee OT Hi Wee, We have our very own Scottish lass in here.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Christie, Fanny is not as popular as a female name in the US but it once was a common name for girls. There is a popular candy, by the name in the US . Tee hee. - In , " christie_0131 " <christie0131 wrote: > > Even though I know what it means in USA, Deanna, it still seems > vaguely shocking to me and feels so wrong to hear someone discuss > their fanny quite so openly and in mixed company, LOL. > Christie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 I am getting a good chuckle out of these . On my friend Margie's first visit to England she was completely shocked upon checking in to her hotel when the nice young desk clerk asked her if she'd like to be knocked up in the morning. LOL Peace, Diane , " genny_y2k " <genny_y2k wrote: > > -Donna, > This sort of thing happens all the time with my friend across the > pond.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 I think brolly is more English than Scots, Wee. Besides which, we are far too hardy and the winds are far too strong to be bothered with such nambypamby things as umbrellas, LOL. Christie , " Wee K Chew " <techiewee wrote: > > Dear Donna, > > Ha!

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 That would be quite shocking up here too as getting knocked up means to be made pregnant.
