    Wanker is a bit more hardcore than idiot, like, if someone accidentally walked into something you'd call them a wally - but if someone purposely bumped you you'd call them a wanker.

    When you think of what wanker really means, I don't know how it got to be an insult seeing as pretty much all blokes are anyway But its a good word...that and bollocks...good old british slang!

    No, not yet anyway. When he goes back to visit his dad, a bunch of us are planning on going with him so he can show us his hometown. The funny thing is he says he's lost his accent (not to us americans) but than his best mate came over to visit and I didn't understand a singe word for about an hour. Then I started clueing in on the slang.

    plus most people round here are a bit "ooo arrr!" as in broad country accents, similar to how SK describes Maine accents in a way. When I first moved here from another county I didn't always have a clue what people were on about - slang varies from region to region.

    You should give me a heads up if you ever make it over and I'll join you for a beer

    Will do. Bass, Boddingtons and Strongbow are my favs so far. Well, imported under U.S. standards.

    Boddy is nice! Worthingtons is similar and good too. As for cider I prefer Westons to Strongbow, but I'm not sure they export it anywhere. Its made in Somerset on a smaller scale without using chemicals and stuff you get in the bigger brands. Plus their Scrumpy knocks your socks off

    I was more of an Irish fan (well let me repeat, most is imported to the U.S., so I know I'm missing out on some really good brew) Guinness, Harp, Smithwick's (or smit-icks). I have been to Ireland (mainly Dublin) and Oh what a difference in taste. The funny thing is, damn, can't ever get away from Budweiser!! It's everywhere!!

    A couple of local radio DJ's over here have been in hollywood doing a show or something and interviewing people and the way they describe the language barrier is hilarious. At US customs, the guy asked

    "Whats the purpose of your visit?"
    "A radio show."
    "Radiation?!?"
    "No, I said radio.."
    "IT IS ILLEGAL TO CARRY ANY KIND OF RADIOACTIVE SUBSTANCE INTO THE .."

    etc

    They said its hard not to incorporate slang that we use every day and obviously most americans dont know what they mean and then repeat the slang back in a toff accent and add a "shine ya shoes guvna" at the end.

    LOL....
    I've picked up random slang from my buddy. I no longer refer to my apartment or house or roomates as such, now it's my flat, and they're my flatmates. Generally when I speak now, I use mates instead of friends.

    And on occasion, telling people about an event, I usually paraphrase and end it with " and bobs your uncle."

    I will be defined by the number of satisfied ewes.
