S/O Favorite Brit Lingo

"Mobile" instead of "cell phone".

The way they say "aluminum".

"Boot" instead of "trunk".

"Jumper" instead of "fugly sweater".

"Knickers" instead of "panties".

My favorite phrase of all is, "taking the piss," which I love to do and means something totally different than going pee.

    Fit = looking good/hot
    Fancy = like

    Also while watching the BRITs the other day they were playing their commercials from the other day. They say Hyundai completely different. It took me a minute to figure out what they were saying.

    "I stammered, unable to form a coherent thought because I have a vagina."

    And I love how "mobile" is pronounced with a hard "i" sound.

    Unexplained IF. Tried Clomid for 3 cycles. All BFNs. BFP 1/6/13. Chemical pregnancy.

    I've hear Louis predominately call movies cinemas. That may just be a queen thing, though. Either way it's fabLouis

    I love how, in the 1D3D trailer, Niall says something about being #1 in "turdy countries."

    i dated a guy from Nottingham a long time ago, when we were working on a cruise ship together. He said the sexiest things! He called me "petal", and when he knew I was mad about something he would grin and say "what are you on about?"

    "Let's have a curry"

    "Do you have any fags, love?"  Hot.

    Me too!  I keep saying it my head, but I think I sound more Australian than British.
