English colloquialisms
 
Just thought I'd create this thread as it was asked for in the forum help and suggestions thread (meechmunchie...) Any 1 want to start?:D

OANST 09-08-2009 08:36 AM

How about you? How about you start?

Hobo 09-08-2009 09:22 AM

Eh

STM 09-08-2009 09:31 AM

Well ok, err hmm, any specific topic?

Jordan 09-08-2009 09:43 AM

Shouldn't you have thought of a starter when you made the thread? :tard:

"Fag" means "cigarette". I know it, you all know it, so stop using it so nonsensically.

OANST 09-08-2009 10:14 AM

Faggot is a bundle of wood.

What is a colloquialism? (non-english member asking here).

This is a thread about Colloquialisms... I'm allowed to ask.

OANST 09-08-2009 10:33 AM

And I answered. You're welcome.

T-nex 09-08-2009 10:37 AM

You didn't really.. But thanks anyway.

OANST 09-08-2009 10:42 AM

So, the wikipedia link didn't help?

T-nex 09-08-2009 10:43 AM

Yea... a bit.

OANST 09-08-2009 10:45 AM

What more did you want to know?

T-nex 09-08-2009 10:49 AM

Why you ain't answering my questions, ya'll.

Indeed. Got anything to share from Detroit's well of eloquence?

OANST 09-09-2009 06:38 AM

Nope.

Bullet Magnet 09-09-2009 12:45 PM

OANST has used his force of presence, unwittingly or by design, to shoehorn all of his colloquialisms into the worldwide common parlance.

OANST 09-09-2009 01:36 PM

Nope actually is a colloquailism, silly.

Rich 09-09-2009 01:54 PM

I thought the title said 'English colonialism'.

Bullet Magnet 09-10-2009 03:35 AM

That's a thread unto itself.

MeechMunchie 09-10-2009 08:00 AM

I disown this thread.

STM 09-10-2009 10:13 AM

aww mechmunchie D=, Anywho, I will now start with some cockney slang:

Apples and pears = stairs
Dog and bone = phone
Old time minute = time space (around an hour)

Bullet Magnet 09-10-2009 10:46 AM

James May - Tweed, beige etc.

God, this thread is as terrible as those terrible Monty Python sketches that are just terrible.
