Featured Hello everyone! Quick down n dirty question x x HAPPY BOU!!

I think the word with the most difference in meaning betwixt the US and us ( hehe great initial play ) is...and I blush to even type it...is AHEM **f a n n y* :O

 

THEY WERE! Those Romans! I still do not forgive x

 

Oh and I love this hijack if it even is one

Somewhere years ago I read that the difference between the English F ann word above and the US one is a few cms's and a few years

 

We can get into a lot of trouble with some of their variations..regards..pewter2

 

Locally, some of use the French Canadian Tourtiere (when we can remember how to spell it) for meat-based mince. It's a meat and potato pie with two crusts, generally associated with Christmas. Other parts of the US don't have the word; they don't have the Canadian-ancestry population we do either.

 

ohh regarding Romans ... just read something which may help me get over the fact they destroyed me in my Bou days ...they possibly introduced Spaniels to the country.This may or may not be true but if it IS,then they are redeemed somewhat. I have a cocker,Jude,and he is 'mazin
Here are my two furry babies and my leg

 

Those are familiar to me too. And I know the Glasgow accent very well, and the Edinburgh one, general Highland and Hebridean English too, through Scottish relatives and many holidays in Scotland. Besides, we have many Brits here in the Netherlands. Irish too.
Here in the Netherlands accents and dialects are different from village to village. In the town where I live I can even distinguish the accents from different parts of the town. I have trouble understanding some Hollanders and West Flemish. I speak 'posh' with a slight Brabant (southern Dutch) accent.

 

My son in law is Scottish and I really struggle sometimes to even understand a word I should know which part but he's from ...I don't

 

Firstly to Boudicca what.. only 2 dogs on the lounge. we can fit 5 , lots of competition....both of yours seem to be ...not bovverd.
AJ the Edinburgh dialect softer, further north the Baroque gailic dialect is strong, did I remember you saying that you spent time out here?

 

I've spent a lot of time there, I considered it my second home. My Scottish relatives are from originally from Edinburgh.
I find that when Gaels speak English, it sounds very gentle and melodious.

 

Gosh not sure what I did there :O

 

Repeating yourself. Like talking to yourself. Don't mind us.

 

Tibetan Spaniels..this is Star 9 ribbons last major show over here..pewter2

 

haha I DO do that too IRL because NO ONE LISTENS!

 

BEAUTIFUL <3
I love Spans since I met my Jude. He is a perfect dog ( well...they all are)

 

Ah, not a mince pie, then. Ours are the dried fruit version, sweet not savoury, made for Christmas.

Accents: you can still pin point the part of London down to a square mile that some people come from. Our accents can vary within villages a few miles apart.
