while we\'re on the subject; I was watching a british sitcom and have some questions:
1 - What is a \"brin gun\" and why would one need to carry it? (man accused of being a bad driver says \"I used to drive brin gun carriers\")
2- Who is Jacques Tatee and why would I not want to miss him on the green?
3 - What is a Roundabout and who is this Zebidee and why\'s he got a magic one? Boing! Boing! Boing!

BOING!
The easy part:
Zebedee
From an old seventies kids show called \'The Magic Roundabout\':
I guess you\'d call it a carousel.....

Quite a catchy title though.

Are these supposed to be British Englishisms rather than American? Because I use all of these words here in the USA. Sure, I spell color differently but it\'s still the same word, not like chips and biscuits.
Unless film means something besides a moving picture show or the waxy surface of a stagnant pond.
To complete this, a Bren gun carrier is a British light tracked armoured vehicle from WW2. Here is some info: http://www.diggerhistory.info/pages-armour/allied/bren_carrier.htm
Oh, about bad drivers and tracked vehicles. A little off topic but there are some interesting pics of what can go wrong with tanks here: http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=16859&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
@Ipaintminis: You\'d also have to learn one of the local accents which are different from the ones in American English.
Being called \"Cute\"
Although my own dialectic twang is far milder than normal, due to having to work amongst southerners for so long.
Tooshy:
(My wife\'s name is Fran the better diminutive...Anyone calling her the \'other \' finds themselves on restricted oxygen intake...She\'s still a red-head despite being prematurely White).
Besides which Becca, We are not the ones with an accent. It is you Americans who have the accent.

Why would anyone want to explain the diminutive of the Girls Name Frances....Especially to someone in Florida at the moment!

I have to admit I do find the term \'fanny pack\' to be somewhat amusing
Gullible isn\'t spelled right in the dictionary, either. lol
And let\'s not confuse condescention with condensation.

Actually I hate the word \"cute.\" If my mom called anything \"cute\" or \"precious\" when I was a kid (especially in clothing) it didn\'t matter if I liked it or not, I wouldn\'t get it. It went back on the rack or to the store if it was a gift. I still hate the word and refuse to use it in reference to things my son does.
Although in some of his outfits he is \"adorable.\"
