Cubs fanaticism is like the herp. Just because you don't have an outbreak at the moment doesn't mean you're not still infected.

na i haven't watched a cubs game in two years. i have now started trying to get cubs fans to release that they will never win another world series and that as long as they keep selling out games the organization really doesn't care if they win or lose.

I say 'cheers' a lot instead of thanks. When I was 'across the pond'* last people didn't understand it. Yet you have that show cheers.

What is with the recent British obsession on here recently?

*is that another term we tend to only use?

Try saying these fun British sayings the next time you are out.

"Put ya cock in me arse" - I would like a beer.
"Care fer a rimmy?" - Would you like a salad with ranch dressing?
"Yer mother is cockslobberer" - Your mother is a saint of a woman.
"Bob's ya uncle." - Your uncle's name is Bob.

In some parts of Yorkshire they say '9 while 5' in place of '9 to 5'

Bit weird over there.

Guy Incognito

i dont know if this is british or not but its a classic kids thing, i am just interested if foreign kids say this after a fart:

the one who smelled it dealt it, and the one who said the rhyme did the crime

don't you mean 'smelt it'

i wrote smelt first and it didnt look right but thats because i'm an arse.

I'm always saying on my tits.

Half the stuff said here is just wrong. I live in Yorkshire Camo and never heard that.

Myu-to - the only one of that I've heard is Bobs your uncle, which means - wait, erm... ...like finishing off a fact or how something works, I think. I actually dunno but have heard it used and never questioned it. And I don't even have a Uncle Robert.

Caribou
04-01-2009, 05:40 PM
There's a Dutch equivalent of 'Bob's your uncle' which is 'Klaar is Kees'.
And it means that Kees is ready. :s I have no idea who either Bob or Kees are.

Well I am South Yorkshire, Barnsley and Bradford are still north for me - their influences probably don't go down the M1 since they haven't invented the car up their yet. And they wouldn't walk south because they'd always be running away from the sun.

When I met VenusVenus she told me that "I've got a lot of bottle" Now when I say it, it sounds like complete rubbish but when she said it with her lovely British accent...it was awesome.

Just no clue what she meant.

9am while 5pm, for example. It's a yorkshire expression meaning until.

Actually i work half 8 while half 4 ;)

No one does that. It's just like putting ", yes?" on the end of a sentence eg. "you're coming round mine later, yeah?"

The new bloke at work adds 'yeah' on the end of his sentences. Dunno, maybe all the youngsters are doing it.

Some people use it to make sure you're following what they're talking about. Like "there was this guy, yeah, and he had this massive helmet, yeah, and..." etc. etc.

But I don't see how it could be interchangeable with "ya know", that's just gay.

I couldn't think of a better example. Maybe saying "right?" "right?"
