That, I have. Loved all of them, but Hot Fuzz was by far my favorite.


Awesome! I love learning new things about the cultures of others!

Does that mean I’m a twat? ;)
If I understand American correctly I should reply
"Bless your heart"

Assume you've seen the other two films in that "trilogy" (they're stand alone films but all the same idea). Shaun of the Dead and The Worlds End. Shaun of the Dead in particular is a classic and a really good example of British humour.

So in America most of U don't matter? Just the glamour ones?

Ricky Gervais taught me that Americans can be sensitive when comedy "roasted". This is a joke, just a joke.
Dark humour:
especially the U for coloured
 
I mean Spotted Dick... I can't even imagine what the fuck that could possibly be.

Americans invented comedy roasting. So that's bollocks, much though I like Ricky.

There are some brilliant roasts on Comedy Central, including the Netflix one off Tom Brady.

My favourite comedian of all time, Greg Giraldo, was one of the best roasters back in the day.

I have no issues with being roasted lol

As long as you aren't serious about it - usually I will put it in blue font or a smiley at the end
 
Be careful. London has cockneys, who use rhyming slang, (people outside of London use it aswell, but nowhere near as much)

Going up or down the "apples and pears"

Go have a "butchers" (harder as its been shortened from "butchers hook")

And so on....

It was invented to stop the police listening to the conversation about illegal stuff they did.
my favorite is "not a Scooby" in place of "haven't got a clue"

I use it often stateside and get weird looks

Having to wait till payday to get my ticket unfortunately. Hopefully decent tickets are still available then.
 
Not interested, I come on this board for information about the Rams not some BS tennis or golf.

It's a common mockney rhyming slang, it follows some principles of cockney and is now used by most people, BUT it's not 1840s - 1920s and it gives a clue to what's being said, that scooby looks for clues and scooby is not a common word.

Apples and pears have nothing to do with stairs.
Butchers hook has nothing to do with a look.

Going up the apples to have a butchers.

One for anyone to try out guessing:

My Trouble don't like me Raspberries

(I use berk all the time not realising it's cockney for Berkshire Hunt)
 
I have tickets too. The proper sale isn't until 30th May but I have a friend in the Union Jags UK fan club and he got some sort of early tickets. Have to watch the game with a Jags fan but you can't have everything in life.

He can also drink even more than me, so should be a good weekend.
