Different terms for the same things.

What about "sweet". I say that (slang) when I like something, not because something is sweet.

Or the word (slang again) phat (pronounced "fat"), meaning you also like something, or something is cool.

Or when you "steal" something here in NY, you say "gank." Not steal LOL. Example: "I ganked a CD from a friend," or something similar.

You know I wish we could get a person from Britan or London to show us how to speak "English English)

I am from about 40 miles from London and most of the time know what your talking about.

The whole dish liquid thing made me laugh we just call it washing up liquid (yeah its a bit of a mouthful!)

We also don't call it soda or pop. We just tend to use brand names.

They should make an American English to UK English dictionary. Then again we have so much American TV here a lot of slang stuff comes over with it.

But then again I don't understand things people say from the North of England and our country is tiny compared to the US!
