Oh we have misunderstandings between the different parts of UK. Baps, cobs and rolls cause endless confusion even before you consider their slang meaning. I understand the Wars of the Roses was mainly about how you pronounce 'scone'.... ;-)
There was a short film about that. Looked like it was made by students. It only lasted a minute. Had cars in it to. I could never figure out why... *wonders if anyone will pick up on that. Hopes they won't.*
Lol Ali .....I either say " I'm stuffed " or " i'm full " ..... I've never heard of being pregnant referred to as 'stuffed ' tho :shock: And , yeah , it always makes me chuckle or smirk when someone says they 'root' for a team
Mark told me he embarrassed himself several times in casual conversation when he first moved to NZ..... :LOL: He learned fast, though. I knew this thread would be worth the read....
Sort of bringing this thread back on topic. Despite my hairy legs and other areas, I can't grow a beard. My top lip gets hairy so I can grow a moustache (not that I'd want to). I get hair under my chin, but it's only just under the chin. Between my bottom lip and chin I get the odd hair. Then the rest of my face is pretty much hair-less. Except for the bit just in front on my ears. I get a small square of hair there. But there is a distinctive gap between that and where my sideburns start. I'm a patchy-haired freak.
I had that problem. Couldn't grow a real beard until I was into my 40's. Then I wished I hadn't bothered. Now I wax so my chin matches my head .... and I promise I won't even THINK comments about wierd hairiness problems and people who live out in the Fens ;-)
Same problem. I have a very hairy neck (up to RIGHT under my chin and a tiny bit on it), strong mustache hair, and managable sideburns... but nothing will grow where I want it to, and it grows everywhere I don't.
i could grow a beard in about 10 minutes. i hate shaving every day. seriously though, I have a 5 o'clock shadow by the time i get to work. BTW, this thread is hilarious, thanks for "resurrecting" it
