I'm really trying not to giggle at "blowing a fag" *NM* Kronin al'Sulc Send a noteboard - 22/04/2011 12:01:47 AM
Not mental, so just stop that right now.

I need to know British words that I (American) wouldn't use. Not super goofy, not crass, just normal (to you) words. For general conversational use.

"I have a cunning plan."

tins of tomatoes.

blowing a fag.

sporrans

snogging

I imagine these are things those Britons speak of all the time. Glad to have been of help.
At last, I have an apostrophe!

Foil fencers Dance the Spears. Or, at least, the foils.

Too stubborn to remove that extraneous *MySmiley*
