Random thought thread

Did you know that if you drop a 25kg bag of coal from a garage roof the bag explodes? Not much fun clearing up the mess, but it looks so cool. I just wish we had more bags of coal.


:mrgreen:

Dude, I know so many people that will try that when I tell em about it.

don't know why this popped in my head today - "police" and "policies"....same origin. I guess that's why it's a "random thought".

why is "subway" in England "underground" ? :scratch:

 

[ferny]

Because it's under ground? What exactly does subway mean, anyway? "Under water boats, this way please."?
And don't get me started on trousers, crisp and gardens. :mrgreen:

 

[santino]

trouseres are pants right :scratch:

and what about the phrase "I don't drink coffee I drink tea my dear"

No, trousers are trouses. They cover your legs and bum. Pants cover you bum only.
:mrgreen:

and what about the phrase "I don't drink coffee I drink tea my dear"

Never heard it. :scratch:

Um...over here trousers are pants...if they cover your bum only, they're panties or underwear!

Lessee.......in the USA

Pants = covers everything from your wait to your ankles

Shorts = we'll say from your waist to your knees

Trousers = what English people call pants

Knickers = What Americans call funny looking (long) shorts.


and then there was the 'underground vs subway' thing

Underground = what English people call a subway

Subway = sub=under way=well, way



then there's the American vs English when it comes to

Aluminum = USA
Aluminium = UK

I think aluminum is credited to a UK metalergist though so we let you call it whatever you want
