Same Words Different Meanings.....

[Suz]

So after Talking to Imi yesterday on Skype....I have come to the realization that sometimes I say things that have different meanings to you guys.

I try to be carefull....I remember I was commeting on a picture of someones son. I said...."He is such a Ham" They thought I was calling him a pig... Ham is a good thing...I guess its kind of like whey you say Cheekey for the camera....or cute.

I told Imi someting was Tart....To me Tart is a flavor...Like Tangie or Zangy...But Imi said a Tart is .... Well you know what Tart is.

Same time when I first came on the forum I was called a Cow....I thougt I was being called Fat

Have you come across anything I have said that you would like to know what I ment

Just think it is funny that the same word can have some many different meanings

 

[Jo]

Not that i can think of Suz but am bored so may scan your posts to see if i can find owt LOL

But surely they must be loads of things that we say that don't make sense to you

 

[Suz]

I think I have it all figured on for the most part. But I never thought that some things I say can come out as Odd.

I told Wobbles once that I would Sponcer her to come to america.....

 

[Jo]

Aah i see and to us sponser means raise money for charity and you means like put in a good word to live in America!!

 

[bexxie]

well am i right in thinking knickers are bloomers
pants to you trousers but us gross things men wear

 

[Suz]

I told Wobbles one day that I was Nappy and I was going to go take a Nappy. I beleive her response was "WTF Suz"

Nappy is slang for Nap (sleep) Its Nap Time Cause to you Nappies are diapers

 

[hayleyandbump]

Gosh super confusing at times lol!, you mean one thing and they take it as the other lol!

 

[beanie]

My fave transatlantic translation has to be fanny. Fany means bum to you Suz?? whereas it means something completely different here, I still sniger when I hear a bug bag referred to as a fanny pack. There are some cloth nappy's called fuzzi fannies and fanciful fannies

 

[Suz]

I have know people referring to their Bum as a Fanny. use to use fanny packs when I was a kid....But here is one just for you Beanie....I had a cat named Fanny.

[Cat]

Two things I have wanted to know,

If you call trousers pants, then what do you call pants?

Also if you call a bum a fanny, then what do you call a fanny?
and for that matter if a bum is a fanny does that mean that men have fannies?

 

[Imi]

No means men ARE fannys!

Tea cakes jo?? they have currents in em and i don't eat bread rolls with currents in you loooooon!!!!!!!

Pants?? they are bloody trousers ffs!!!! Drives me nuts when ppl call trousers pants grrrr!!!!!
