Just a short list of things I adore about the Brits and their language ways.
1. color = colour
2. elevator = lift
3. “Bangers and mash”
4. “Sticky wicket”
5. “Cheers” as an informal greeting
And things I don’t like:
1. cookie = biscuit
2. fries = chips
3. “git”
4. “shagging”
5. Any British turn-of-phrase that was popularized by the Austin Powers movies.
What are your feelings on their alternate definition of “fanny?”
I like “fanny”.
And, I’ll go even further and say I like [their usage of] “willy”.
Their use of “willy” seemed particularly funny when people took to calling Bill Clinton “Slick Willy.”
