Re:Re:British and French Slang
I am glad you thought my request comical. My friends and I are going to have a blast in England/France, especially because I do a great British accent. There's a whole section of American slang called ebonics, which is basically hip hop slang that doesn't make any sense at all and is pretty cheap, but some people believe it is real english. Also, we abbreviate loads of words (or at least I do.) Such as refridgerator is the fridge, or the telephone is the phone, and the television is the tv, in ebonics, house is a crib, jewelry is ice or bling, and a fag is not a cigarette, it is a gay person. I heard a british person ask for a fag, but here it is an insult that you use. Ummm, the underground metro is called the subway, not the tube. In NJ we use mad in front of things, like "that is mad funny" instead of using wicked, which i never understood. Sneakers instead of trainers, i have yet to understand what a jumper is. There are a lot of things.
Also, while you guys (a term used to generalize in nj, in texas it's y'all) like rugby and soccer, we tend to follow football and baseball more. More people go to public school here, I think in England there are more private, religious, or boarding schools.
Can you send any British slang you can think of, even if it seems insignificant. Also, where are there good (inexpensive) places to eat in London? This summer I'll be spending a day or so there, and the pound is worth 1.9 times the dollar so I don't want to waste my money on food.
Cya, Amanda

British and French Slang
Hi, I just wanted to know some British and French slang. THis summer I am traveling to Europe! and I just thought it would be cool to know slang. All I have been saying to my friends that I am traveling with is either God Save the Queen, where's the toilette? and bon jour. I can help with American slang if you want as well.

Re:Re:Re:English or Greek in exchange for Spanish/Portugese
Gday Kathy,
The correct form to say my name is Kathy is "Meu nome é Kathy" or you can say Hi,I'm Kathy "oi, sou Kathy" or Nice to meet you, I'm Kathy "Prazer, Kathy". The three forms sounds good to me, but I think the last one is more usual here in Brazil when you meet someone for the first time.
I'm too thinking of getting a gold membership.
Beijos,
Mika
