Awww geez.....those two hosers, Bob and Doug seem to be implanted in everyones mind when it comes to Canadians! LOL

In honesty we should all bow to the canadians, yes they took perfectly good english and translated it but they make their point KNOWN, my canadian family do anyway :)  My american family seem altogether too relaxed to care lol.  Now don't get me started on the north/south divide here (being a southerner who married a northerner once upon a horrible time) and they too muck it all up. Me and Liz (the queen) are holding our heads in our hands far too often nowadays...I mean thank goodness we can relax with a barth or all might be lost ;)  And we'd have to retire with a cup a rosy (rosy lee=tea) up the apples (apples and pears=stairs) and **** a deafen (pretend we can't hear you) while we retreat to Uncle Ned (bed) cause I'm bar wired (tired) with all this explaining english :)

 

Ps as my young ladies would say, fanny (front bum) haha   (Lace and Tracey you are saved!)

i am in fits  :lol:  :D

What Marti said, we speak English proper.

This is very funny guys but i'm hank marving and going to sort out something to eat at mums!

What? You go "there" to have a "rest"?????? :P :P :P

 

I call it the "ladies´" ... as in "the ladies´ room" hahahahahahaha!

 

 

 

I love rhyming slang. I didn´t even know what it was when I arrived in London. And I did hear "apples and pears" "give the dog a bone" and "a butchers" very early on... meaning it was well alive and kicking. People do really use those phrases.

 

I rather like Australian accent... let me find a Hugh Jackman interview somewhere.... :wub:

Dog and bone = phone.  butchers hook = look.  I do use give us a butchers...  Translation help, loving you Suerose, you're a pro at this :)
