Funny Terms

Yes it is a different language here in the GB.

To Shoot someone = To fire them.

Fred wasn't working out so we had to shoot him.

A Cowboy = Someone who does a job poorly

Sue was worried about hiring that construction company, they looked like a bunch of cowboys

oh I watched a commercial that cracked me up. They pronounced Zebra like Deborah. Zebborah.

You know those English Muffins we are so fond of in the states? Turns out we added the English part to the word. Here in England they are just Muffins.

Body parts are called - Bits. They have a little show called "Can you name your body bits"

Speaking of bits. Fanny which means butt here in the states is slang for the female reproductive organ area (Fanny Packs crack people up here)

The act of building or putting up something - Erection

You will see signs saying "Erection in progress" or "Erection by so and so company"

Oh and it turns out that the chickens in Sussex lay eggs and are proud of it!
