Crazy things British people say....

Can I chime in here????

I'm sorry but baseball - glorified rounders
American football - glorified rugby
Although I must admit you do play them really well and I enjoy watching them loads more than the English versions
But honestly how can you gripe the English language when you have trouble speaking it correctly reading the op's first post I would hazard a guess he's an army boy am I right?

Damn straight! Look what happened to your country when you outlawed almost all private gun ownership, you went from a country of a large degree of freedom, to one of the most heavily surveilled societies on earth with your CCTV cameras. You guys have crazy laws, like those which can send someone to jail for not stopping to help someone under duress, or having cops come around and give you tickets for not putting your "rubbish bins" out a day early. Btw, its a TRASH CAN, not a rubbish bin.

Yeah, it's terrible living in a country with minimal gun crime.

Maybe let's not get onto weird laws, like the town in GA where it's illegal for a chicken to cross the road!! And where does the term jaywalking come from?

Hmmm trash can? I get a can of coke, but not a can of trash.

And how funny, when we need to use a toilet we go to a ------ toilet and not a restroom or bathroom!

And a fag is a cigarette.

A fanny is a pvssy.

A hood is something we put on our heads not the roof of a car.

A trunk is something Harry Potter packs his belongings in not the storage compartment of a car.

And I think you meant to say car park, not lot.

No to get off subject but in regards to guns did you know that Sweden is in the top 10 in number of legal gun owners in the world and also the lowest crime rate in the world. Only good reason for restricting legal gun ownership is government control of population.

The reason we have trouble speaking the English language is as you said, we bastardized it. We use WAY to much slang and one word has 4 meaning. It's fumy like when I visit the Philippines; most all of them know English but have a hard time understanding most people because of how poorly we use our own language. When I speak to them or anyone not English I speak a little slower and use about 1/2 as many words as I normally would. I keep it simple and I get complements all the time on how GOOD my English is. lol
