Things that aren't things in the USA

Has anybody in the USA heard of

“CHAV”
“Scally”
“Townie”

They’re all terms for describing a certain stereotype of person and the way they dress

I guess men too? Fit and hot anyway.

Yes, but the UK plugs are quite painful when stepped on! :laughing: :grimacing:

@TrueSpiritRyuu :joy::joy::joy: so true. I’ve lived overseas 10+ years but I still get confused with cm and m. Esp m2 for land… I think in terms of acres.

Sausage
Bacon
Eggs
Beans
Tomato
Mushrooms
Toast (with butter)

When I lived in Prague and worked interim bar jobs, I used to get so sick of telling the same story over and over again of Where I’m from, how I got there, is it expensive…yada yada yada… that every now and then, I’d throw em off by saying Nigerian. And peoples faces drop, I’m telling ya!

So yeah, that does happen lol

They use townie where I grew up in Canada. Used by rural folk to refer to those who lived in town

Sausage type things. Black pudding is blood sausage. Not sure about white pudding. Tastier than it sounds!

America… You may have Donald Trump but at least you dont have Diane Abbot.

Please, keep her and Boris too!

Nah Boris is alright! At one point, I was absolutely stunned that he was elected to lead the Conservative party but now I’m glad he does!

But Boris isnt the problem.

Diane abbot is.
