Best picture I ever took (I'll have to dig it out) was when I was driving through Tennesse. I stopped at a traffic light and in the pick-up truck next to me were a middle age couple, sitting in on the truck bed in plastic lawn chairs and the woman was doing a major nose dig. That's when I knew I was in the south Fortunately, they didn't see me taking the picture!

needs to be put up in the "whats in a plate" thread

Talking of funny pick-ups, saw one a couple weeks ago, had all those peace stickers on it, and then on the back was about going to war in iraq...rather ironic...

That one kills me too constantly... in fact one of my colleagues only the other day informed me that she was going out on her lunch break to purchase a new "fanny bag"

I've had a few weird looks for the fag one too LOL. Lots of our words for being drunk seem to mean nothing to them too...

I had some major adjusting to do when my 7 year old daughter came home and told me she had a 'bugger' on the school bus!!!

According to school: bug - to annoy or tease someone. Bugger - a person who annoys/teases you. NOT quite the same meaning as in England. I had to backtrack and apologise after seriously telling her off, totally confusing the poor girl.

Pissed also has a different meaning over here, I thoroughly confused my friend by saying that I was 'as pissed as a fart' . 'Bent as a nine bob note' also caused some funny looks...

Aye, i can imagine

I often get a few funny looks when I explain Hubby's bad moods as ... 'oh dont worry about him, he's got a major hump!".

Hey Elaine, long time no see...well you know what I mean....
The grossest thing is after a nose dig when they look at the fruits of their labour....

Anyone seen the children's toy range (at K-Mart) called 'Little Buggers'...highly amusing....have to get one for my nephew

Bob

I have never heard these two words... I'll have to look those up.

Here are some British slang words I've heard that I didn't realize what they meant initially:

Plonker
Pillock
Munted
Wally

Also, in the US, a wanker is just a dorky, idiotic person, and is not considered an expletive.
