I always thought it was spelled 'git'. Thanks to growing up with Monty Python and Dr Who, I am familiar with colloquialisms used in GB. Makes life much more interesting. I even know a wee bit of Aussie slang.

Tis spelt git, just pronounced 'get'. My bad.

It seems like a lot of British colloquialisms are cute: woolies or jumpers for sweaters. "Sweaters" is kinda disgusting now that I think about it. Crisps and bonnet and loo...

But the food: You seriously would order toad in the hole and Mrs. Brains faggotts in gravy?

hahahahaha

The thing is my Brit friends are always telling me to DO things.... Spare a fag? Mind the gap? I mean, I'm as compassionate as the next guy so sure I'll save some poor homo's ass. But obey a retail preppie clothing store? Why?

The one thing I can't get used to here in the States is the 'pants' instead of 'trousers' thing. It's such a horrible sounding word to start with... plus I was conditioned to think it means 'knickers'. It's just so wrong

lucy: To you, its a homey dessert. To me, its symptom #1 of syphlitic infection.

On the otherhand, to ME a "tart" is a nice dessert. and to YOU its probably the skank ho' that gave him that spotted dick.

See? all life is a circle.

hehehhehe my sister calls me a daft tart...so Im a nice daft dessert.
She called me a jammy tart once, didnt mean I had anything to do with jelly(english jam) or desert, but that I was a sneaky bitch for not getting busted drinking cider at the local youth club with the local boys.
I also like the terms, slapper, harlot, whore, hussy, trollop,slag.etc altho if you gonna call me one to my face you could get your face ripped off grins, its all relative
