I am spaniard and I can't find the difference between funny and fanny,I think If I go to Uk or Us someday I wouldn't know when anyone is talking about vagina and when anyone is talking about something enjoyable.

OK since you've started reading this its too late to stop. in 2001 a 15 year old girl was killed in a clearing in scotland. nobody knows who or what killed her but there is scratch marks all over her body and she looks horrific. she is said to roam around the world and can go 2 places at once. if you dont post this comment on 5 other videos or websites in ten minutes she will suddenly attack you and kill you in some gruesome way. this is scary coz it happened to my friend. please. ?

but there is a difference in pronunciation, funny is pronounced with an "a" sound as in "cut" whereas the "a" sound in fanny is uttered as in "cat" - i sure think you can make out the different sounding in "cut / cat" :)

This was interesting. some i already knew, but i wanted to clarify the jelly thing. WE have 2 words for that. Jelly and jam. Jelly is the same as jam but without the seeds. Jam has seeds, jelly doesn't and doesn't spread easily like jam does.
also we have roundabouts here and i absolutely hate them because i think people will hit me. I'd rather stop at a light and wait my turn. I like your diagram of the roundabout but i think driving counter clockwise in a roundabout looks quite dangerous.

thank you for the insight, you've openned up my mind to new words. i asked my brit friend what on earth twats were and he just laughed and laughed :)
Array ( 3 days ago by ReeLee)
Nice video.
So, I'm glad someone explained the jelly and jam thing bellow, but there is one thing about Jello, and I may be repeating what someone else has said, Jello (Jell-O) is actually the brand name. For some reason we have this thing were we refer to items by brand names so perhaps that is why we call it Jello. Same thing goes for band-aids, they are really "adhesive strips" or something...
And I call them roundabouts, as well.

Fags mean cigarettes in Britain and in America it means gay people and if you strain a cigarette in Britain when sharing one we say you bummed it!
So if we said you bummed a fag it would mean something totally different in America lol!
