I don't think you did.
If you don't I guess you could ask again, but you are smart and should be able to get it.
ERMOK.

Id love to hear why "dog and bone" means phone? That one def escapes me. Only british slang i know is from guy ritchie movies, i definately like "proper f**ked". And i dont know why, but i love the word "quid". "give ya 5 quid for that gov'nor" is a lot coller than "ill give you for dollars for that sir". Hands down the coolest thing about the brits is the language or colloquialisms.
- Cheers Mates!!
I wonder if Eejit would know American slang better than British slang.
It seems to me he would but I don't know.
Interesting question, me thinks.

Rhyming slang is a form of slang in which a word is replaced by a rhyming word, typically the second word of a two-word phrase (so stairs becomes "apples and pears"). The second word is then often dropped entirely ("I'm going up the apples"), meaning that the association of the original word to the rhyming phrase is not obvious to the uninitiated. For example: "Sherman" for an American (Sherman tank = Yank),[1] or "septic" for an American (septic tank = Yank).

Very nice information Tay.
Thanks for showing it to us all.
Talking about other peoples cultures, even if it's just the way they speak, is very, very fun.
I dont click links
That link that Tay posted did not even lead to anything bad.
Just in case you were worried about getting a virus or something.
I do not worry about viruses.
I was quoting. Nvm.
Okay okay.
I didn't get that because it wasn't in a quote.
But it was the same thing for me on the Harry Potter thread, so nvm and we're even on that mistake.
Oops.
What mistake?
And you realise you dont need to reply to every thread right?
When I misquoted or missed the quote and you missed mine.
And yes I realized there are threads I don't have to reply to but felt I should because we are talking about different subjects.
I'm going out for the day and won't be here, so I won't be here, to reply or make new threads, oh joy.
You guys have fun.
