a British person asks...

Post by seremtan »

why do americans...

...say doors instead of "wobbly flip shutters"?
...say clock instead of "Small Ben"?
...say doorbell instead of "chimey pushknob"?
...say shit instead of "chunky bum fudge"?
...say gun instead of "hooty tooty point and shooty"?
...say hamburger instead of "Beef Wellington ensemble with lettuce"?
...say markers instead of "crockety snapwickets"?
...say popsicle instead of "cold on the cob"?
...say clown instead of "loony chuckle fairy"?
...say watch instead of "cuff-link time Johnny"?
