Different Meanings to Words

“I was going to mention…” or “I was fixing to mention…”

You must be a transplant.

No, no, no…I’m about as Texan as you can get. I just tend to write better than I talk.

When you go to the convenience store, what is the generic texas term for all of the carbonated soft drinks?

“My favorite coke is Dr. Pepper.”

I remember when I was little my step-cousins thought that was the funniest thing they ever heard. Yankees.

Most texans would answer with a burger?

Damn.

We also have “butter face”, as in “She has an excellent body, but her face is crap”.

An ugly person has a face like a smashed crab, or a face like a smacked arse.

A person with no redeeming features is a swamp donkey. Also known as “Lightpower” on T-Nation.

If someone is studying Yoga 101, it means they have their head up their arse.

I’m surprised none of my fellow Brits has mentioned “bollocks”, which our American friends may not be aware of.

Here in the UK a few years back we had a national radio station called Talk Radio (before it became Talk Sport) on which they had 24 hour phone-ins (no music - a radical concept over here but probably very common in the USA) and one of the DJ’s called up a lost property office in the USA and the conversation went something like this:

DJ: Hi, I wonder if you could help. I’ve lost my bollocks and wondered if anyone had hadn’t them in?
Lost Property Guy (LPG): You’ve lost your what?
DJ: My bollocks. Have you seen them?
LPG: What do they look like?
DJ: Two balls in a bag.
LPG: Oh, right. [noise of looking around] How big are they?
DJ: Well, one ball is bigger than the other.
LPG: And what about the bag? What colour is it?
DJ: The bag is quite loose and it’s pink.

And so it went on - feckin’ hilarious.

This is only funny if you know what bollocks are of course :slight_smile:

Never mind the bollocks…
