And you don't go into the 'Locker room at the interval in soccer'............ you get in the 'changies at half time in footie'

We usually say half time, to be fair.

I know us civilised people mock Americans when they use their stupid words when talking about football - is it the same for yanks when we talk about American sports? Like when we say rounders instead of baseball?

Oh come on..... give me an interval !!!

Stop pronouncing the word ' Route' as Rout.

But on the plus side ,I do like pecan pie.

When they say Route 66 they pronounce it the correct way.

Weirdos.

Texan? Sir, them's fighting words. Wait till TXBill sees this.

The scouse terms all seem well and good but they don't capture the essence. Unless douchebags are so prevalent on Merseyside that the scousers have 20 different words for the same thing, but all conveying slightly different takes. Just like Eskimos and their 50+ different words for snow.

I can't stand the word 'douchebag'.

Calling football boots "cleets" is a bit strange.

My issue with the word cleats is that not only do they refer to footy boots as cleats but also footy studs as cleats. It's a pain in the arse trying to buy replacement studs.

Absolutely. Read a BBC article about something involving baseball once, had me laughing out loud.

Would you put the studs (or cleats) on another type of shoe? They only go on that one, giving the whole construct the name "cleat". Besides, it's awfully low around the ankle to be a boot, yeah?

Weirdos.

'Root'-'Route' is a regionalish type thing. Americans say both.

It's an exhaust, mate. Boss cars have dual exhaust. Yet, some of my countrymen call it a muffler and in their defense, saw one out of a car's exhaust and turn the car over - deafening. At least we don't put them on lorries. Does a truck lorry? Is lorry a verb or some word Roald Dahl made up? In all respects, Dahl is completely awesome.

Admit that the amount of attention you spend on Yank English is mild in proportion to your jealousy.

Douche bag might now be one of the most useful words in the States. Your equivalent? There is none. That's pure US.

Good work, CT. That's the spirit. Your credentials are unlimited.

And the things they call food items... Gammon? Who wants to take a bite out of Peter 'fing Gammons? Bleah! Pastie? You need two of those for the working pole dancers in some jurisdictions. And as far as Nature Boy is concerned, don't hold back, CT. The Winnipeg arena is gonna be on fire... Only in America can you find Space Mountain.
