Same Language - Different meaning

buns = buns , or the cheeks of your as*. Some think it's hilarious if you say your going to the store to get some buns...but at the same time they sell hamburger buns at the store, but advertise the meals as "Sandwiches', and the Big Mac song says quote "...on a sesame seed bun".

My GF's a bit of a language geek, and apparently bread is the thing with the most differences between dialects!
Take buns for example, where I grew up, they can be buns, or baps. Here in the NW of England, they're "Barm Cakes"!

Of course, Baps can also mean Boobies just about everywhere too :D
 
In Nottinghamshire they call Brussell Sprouts "nobby greens", WTF!! No wonder English is such a hard language to learn. :?

UK - bogey = somthing you pick out of your nose / US is booger. If you said "booger" in a northern english accent ( maybe with a double g) ,it means something that the US fags get up to....... :D :rofl:
 
Ah yes the humble bread roll. Where I come from its simply called a roll, 40 miles north of me it's called a batch,another 30 miles north of that its called a cob,then you get to baps etc.
 
Fender in the US pertains to car ie Fender Bender
In UK a bumper used to stop boats scratching on the dock

Uk- waffle- talking on and on about same thing in a boring manner
USA- waffle- grilled with maple syrup :D
 
US-Soccer=UK-football
US-Football=UK-?
US=Wigger(see artist eminem)=UK-Chav
US-sausage=UK-Banger

I've heard it said that the USA & UK share a common background, but are separated by a common language.
