fun facts in England.

Things I've learned about:

when someone says this______ it means _________:

give way = yield
way out = exit
underground = subway
chips = french fries
biscuits = cookies
loo = toilet
quid = bucks [as in money, but only if it's more than one pound]
que = line
nappy = diaper
dodgy = sketchy

See, I'm learning a lot!

The other night we were sitting in the lobby in the evening watching dirty dancing with a bigger group of people when we got to the end of the movie. During the last scene, the resort owner makes the quote something like:
"Kid's don't want fox trot lessons in the country with their parents; they want trips to Europe!"....we all sorta cheered and then one girl added on "With out thier parents!" we all then clapped and laughed [grin]. It was a bonding moment :).

Guess you will basically be speaking a very queer language (for us Yankees) when you return, aye? :)
