And when I lived in northern Maine years ago, I found out that "basement" was the bathroom.

Pig's arse, blocks! If you haven't ever personaly experienced Outback's barbies and liquid laughs spiced by some dead horse, buying scratchies with your last dinky-di bloody bickie, feeling like a fruit loop, just to get to Brizzie, not understanding even one word spoken to you all the way, have never experienced what "true" Engish is!

OK, what's a tourist Burg? By the way, I've always found you southern chaps and chapesses very polite. :approve:

I used to go to Southampton UK 2-3 times a year for a few years. The funniest word I ever heard was "cheers". They just use that word all the time. End a thought, say bye, toast a pint,.... even after saying "bye" they'd add the "cheers". I never was able to actually say it to anyone, I was too affraid I'd laugh.

Far more frightening than what you just said, is that I just understood most of it.

Zahc, a Burg is just a city. And I live in Orlando, Florida, home of Mickey Mouse. And Shamu. And Shrek. And countless minor tourist attractions.

Ok, I understand your pain. I used to live in and around the ancient City of York and fostered a healthy dislike towards tourists as a result.

Except a ladette is more likely to be drunk...

Pissed (english) = drunk
Pissed (us) = angry

We, of course, have beach buggies that are used once a year when the sun comes out.
It’s a minefield out there for us Brits. A cigarette is often called a ‘fag’ in the UK, so asking for a fag in the US is fraught with danger. Admitting to smoking a fag in some states is asking for trouble, as I’m sure you’re aware.
So is a british smoker a faggot? LOL, thats what they should call cigs and smokers in the US, and then people would quit!!!
