So... I must admit some American colloqualisms get lost a bit in translation here in the UK:
In reference to playing baseball: "Well, we'd have to shag our own balls."
Well, when shagging is fucking... you can only imagine.
In reference to acting like Marky: "You pulled a Mark right there."
Well, pulling is making out on this side of the pond, so when you say that to Marky's buddy... hehehe.
When wicked means "awesome" for them and it means "really" for the native New Englander, I must admit... I sound a bit redundant. "Wicked wicked"... I'm not givin' it up though. New England elitism will not die!
It is amazing the way the same language evolves so differently. Kind of loving it though.
