Tomato Sauce = Dead horse

Yank = Septic tank (seppo)

OK, you're right - it's colourful but at least we spell colour the right way!

See, there's more American efficiency for you, we just don't like 'u' in certain words...

Byte, yes I deleted your post. The language does not offend me personally, but this is Mike's forum and I do not believe he would like to see that level of language here. If you have a problem with that, talk to him.

You really don't want my brushless RTR truggy for 3 cents?

Hehe almost got you too whats_!

Marvin, I guess we 'mericuns done went and blanded the language... but still, listen to some Beatles and tell me where Paul takes a word that ends in 'a' and makes it 'er'

[Marvin]

Ah, but the Beatles were from Liverpool, which is like a whole different world in Britain. If pick a point in Britain and travel 40 miles in any direction, you will come across a different accent.

However, it is we, in the South East, who can pronounce words with no accent (REALLY in for some stick now!).

It's amazing what an accent can do. You see a woman who is semi-hot, then you hear her speak in a British accent, and suddenly (not all-of-a-sudden, grrrrrr!) she is the single hottest woman in your area code.

What's that about?

This thread begged for it!

I just hate hearing people on cell phones saying "yo where you at?" It's where are you?
Don't end your sentences in a prepositional phrase!

That just reminded me of Robert Stack on Beavis and Butthead Do America!

Russian accent, hands down. My last conquest before being in a wheelchair was with "Svetlana". I still get randy thinking about the way she cried "mooooore" with her russian accent.

"yo where you at" ends with a preposition, not an entire prepositional phrase. It is a prepositional phrase, which is a no-no. Right idea....

[BL_RV0]

I've got a russian/canadian accent. Does that count?

I didn't know one of my Avatar girls started doing videos. I'll have to get back in touch and see what else she is working on, or wants to work on...
