When American Meets the Brits

I just got this thing in net when American meets the Brits...

---

I was chatting up this lass. (British slang for flirting with a chick.) She was telling me how different her country's slang is from our American slang. For instance, at work, she had to make a phone call to a man. She tells her boss, "I'm sorry, but he's engaged."

This lead to some confusion. "Engaged" just means that the man wasn't picking up the phone because he was on the other line. His phone line is engaged.

Weird!

Here are some other wacky British slang terms:

* “To knock you up” means to wake you up by knocking on the door.

* To "diddle" means to cheat someone.

* A "fag" is a cigarette.

* When the British are surprised or shocked they exclaim, "Blow me!"

* "Slap and tickle" means having sex.

* And courage is "a lotta bottle." From drinking alcohol from a bottle.

* And to them a real jerk is called a "wanker."

I can imagine a conversation at the front desk of a bed and breakfast in England:

CLERK: Tomorrow morning, would you like me to knock you up?

UNATTRACTIVE AMERICAN FEMALE GUEST: Are you serious?

CLERK: I wouldn’t diddle you!

UNATTRACTIVE AMERICAN FEMALE GUEST: Then how will you knock me up?

CLERK: Quite easily! And if I can’t do it, then I’ll get me mate to do it.

UNATTRACTIVE AMERICAN FEMALE GUEST: Oh… you’re one of those.

CLERK: One of those what? Oh, it’s me break. I’m going out to smoke a fag.

UNATTRACTIVE AMERICAN FEMALE GUEST: That’s disgusting!

CLERK: Oh, I know. Bad habit really. Ah, here’s Ben. He will take care of you.

BEN: So do you want me to knock you up in the morning?

UNATTRACTIVE AMERICAN FEMALE GUEST: You English men are so forward! So did you just come back from smoking a fag?

BEN: Certainly not! Bloody nasty, if you ask me. What time shall I knock you up?

UNATTRACTIVE AMERICAN FEMALE GUEST: What makes you think you can just have sex with me?

BEN: Blow me!!!

UNATTRACTIVE AMERICAN FEMALE GUEST: Oh, I don’t do that.

BEN: You want the old slap and tickle? There’ll be a whole lot more slappin’ than ticklin’, that’s for sure! Sex with you? Whoa! That would take a whole lotta bottle!

UNATTRACTIVE AMERICAN FEMALE GUEST: So you’re well endowed?

CLERK: Oh, Ben’s a huuuuuge wanker!

BEN: This is just smashing.

UNATTRACTIVE AMERICAN FEMALE GUEST: It’d better not be just smashing. You’re gonna be my baby daddy!

BEN (rolling eyes): Bloody smashing!

UNATTRACTIVE AMERICAN FEMALE GUEST: Bloody? How big is your wanker?

How to stay focused for dummies

Yes, I am a dummy. After my SAD clouds evaporated (due to my 7D 'achievement') I decided to google up on 'how to stay focused during exam' and I have a few interesting facts to share with you people!

1. Do NOT cram things in your brain the day before - or less NOTHING gets in your brain.

- Well, this is kinda true... I did this and nothing entered my brain.

2. Drink plenty of water.

3. Drink kiwi-strawberry juice.

- It is said that kiwi-strawberry is like a 'focuser' during exam. Maybe I should try it!

4. Rest early.

- Which I didn't do at all. I stayed up late at night just like a zombie does.

Those are the juicy bits I got. Other tips were the lame ones like, do not be panic bla bla bla...

Toybox - Le Jeu

Ha... Just putting a little French in my life. It's more of a braincraking 'escape the room' type of game that I played last MIDnight and I got too scared and hit ALT+F4 when the ghost-boy appeared - wimpy...

So, today I decided to finish it today (with help from the walkthrough of course!) and I think I unlocked the secret ending. I dunno. Not sure. Or maybe you should try it too? But just a warning, if you have a wimpy heart at night, better play it during daytime.

Good luck!

PS: I like the opening theme music. It's freakingly soothing. I dunno why I liked it though it sounded creepy.

I am so sorry!

I just got my CPU back from the workshop in Terminal 1 - it was corrupted as my technician said last Friday. Anyhow, let me sum up all the crappy loads for the rest of the Hellish Days:

Wave 2

4th day

So, we had Moral Studies early in the morning and English 2 in the late morning.

Moral was unexpectedly OK for me! I could list down all 16 values that I'd memorized. I just hope that I can get an A1 for it, same goes with English... My teacher has VERY HIGH expectations from us!

5th day

Oh gosh! Additional Mathematics! It was totally crappy... I lost focus in section B! I think I will fail it...

Another stupid paper: Malay Language 1. It seemed simple. I hope I can score in this subject.

6th day

I got back my AM paper. I disappointed my parents, family members and all my friends and teachers! I got a mere 46% which is a darn 7D! I couldn't even get credit for this! I don't think I was concentrating for History 2 then. It's just... DISAPPOINTING.

Later that day, I noticed that History wasn't that hard after all! Thanks to my colour pens, I memorized my mind map for this paper! Eureka!

7th day

First up, Al-Kimiya. Also shitty! I just hate studies now!!!!!!!!! Then I had Modern Maths after that and I forgot how to do SETS, can you imagine that?! SETS!

8th day

Bios and logos. Yes, the study of life; Biology. It was rather OK. I think I might get A for this. Not sure of it's pointer; either A1 or A2...

For Physical Education,

I slept after half hour. At least I finished it! I was too tired.

9th day(Wave 3)

WOO HOO!!!! LAST DAY!!!!!!!!!

7.30am - 10.30am.

Accounts Principles.

You get the best of both worlds
Chillin' out, take it slow
Then you rock out the show

You get the best of both worlds
Mix it all together and you know that
It's the best of both worlds
The best of both worlds!

It was extremely simple for me (and Dylan)! I was so scared of the subject but in the end, I managed to beat it all. I hope I can get an A1 for this one. REALLY!

Last paper of the mid-year, History 1: I did not care if it was hard or simple. All I knew is; IT IS OVER.

k

2nd wave: Tomorrow!

3rd day was dead simple - SIVICS STUDIES! DAMN SIMPLE and sure to get high marks as most of us are!

4th day: TOMORROW
2nd wave: also TOMORROW

First paper on the supposedly happy morning: MORAL STUDIES! (then English 2)
I am still blur on those 16 moral values that I am about to smash tomorrow!

Oh, I dunno how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first fearless...

Oops, pardon me for being a little cuckoo up there. After I finished dealing with this post, I am back sitting in the dark corner to memorize History 2. HELP ME!!!!! JAYSUS!!! (though I am not a Christian. Pardon me to disobey the Commandments; thou shall not use God's name in vain. Oh, OK... Jesus is NOT God. He is the Son of God. Tell me I am wrong!)

OK. Off to study mode now. Bye.
