Amusing blogpost on what British people say vs. what they mean.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Happy birthday, JZ!
Vacation has been fun so far, but I am tired. Plus I keep forgetting my camera! It's OK since someone else has had one, but I need to figure out where I put mine so I can start taking pics of my own.

Oh and those photos are completely unsexy. Kind of impressive.

All those Britishisms make perfect sense to me, ie, that's the way I understand those phrases, too. Which explains some confusions in my life. And I admit I've used it against the clueless.

They made sense to me. . . but I loved the example of a misunderstanding given at the bottom.

The funniest thing to me is I work for a British man- I am the one who uses these phrases and he is the one who misunderstands! We had so much confusion when I kept saying I was "very concerned" about something- I feel like in a professional setting that is the equivalent of SOMETHING IS GOING VERY VERY WRONG!!!!, but he thought it was no big deal!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Dear lawyers,
I am not a lawyer! It is not that surprising when the contract language I propose is not what it should be! Please you write it first! Or at least second?
Thx.
