Wash ,'War Stories'
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
Matt's kettle is my whilst. I'm working on ignoring it, but it's still jarring. Also, canonically, Dean doesn't drink tea.
Isn't there a website for Britishisms/Americanisms? There has to be! I've picked up things like saying University. I delight in dropping the "the". Car park still throws me because the words evoke "action" and not "place" and me and the operations guy have lots of fun poking fun at each other. I love "boot".
I went to see Billy Elliott with a Brit and had to ask why she laughed so hard when the girl offered to show Billy her "fanny".
I'm totally crap at noticing those things. Not moving to the US until I was in my 20s will do that for you.
Fanny isn't American? That's what my mum always used to talk about bums. So I always thought my godmother's name was hilarious.
In the US your fanny is your bum. You might have noticed in the "merkin" clip that Lucy Lawless referred to them as "fanny covers".
So why did your Brit friend find it funny?
in the UK fanny isn't a bum, Juliebird. it's what we Americans would casually call a vajayjay these days.
In the context of the scene it's a lot funnier that she's offering to show him her lady-parts as opposed to her bum.
OMG, my godmother is forever ruined!
hahaha!!
