...myself, I'm enjoying my single day off this week/weekend. Tomorrow I get to contend with a birthday party, a concert, then my own, and my stepfather's birthday. :evil:

"Fancy a shag, gov'?"

yes, it is indeed pronounced "Norritch". I was on the phone to an online friend from Cornwall last week and she thought it was "Norwitch". Craziness!

don't Americans say 'shag'? its part of my everyday language!

The only Americans who say "shag" are furries and imbeciles who are referencing Austin Powers one billion times too many and the two are so similar as to be one and the same as far as you are concerned while winding up to smack them with a 2x4.

Only spoken with a fake british accent or when talking about carpeting from the seventies.

We need the seventies again.

On no we fucking do not. I am not ever going back to the days when half the kids either had that straight haired Hansen "boy who might be a girl" look and the other half had that feathered soon to be made an institution by the best thing to ever happen to Eddie Van Halen "boy who might be a girl" look. No fucking way do we need to go back to people having enough free time to make a bong out of two spare aquariums and toilet plumbing supplies, when there was more snow on coffee tables than in my back yard in winter, when drugs were the only thing that could possibly explain powder blue and electric orange leisure suits with lapels wider than an F117.

I'd rather see a return to zoot suits, pinstripes with spats, even top hats, but not the fucking 70s.

You can focus on the bad, but I prefer to look at the good:

Shag carpeting, Blue Oyster Cult (More cowbell!), facial hair on EVERYBODY, drugs, drugs, drugs, leisure suits, hi-fi, and DISCO!

haha, ya know, ever since I seen that sketch, now all I can hear whenever I play that song is the fucking cow bell. Lots of punk bands use it too, so I always listen for it

ah 70's... I say Im not too big into the 70's but then again I tend to like some cars and Music from the early 70's, and on occassion wear those big-collared polyester shirts (Goodwill, Amvets :) ).

( I also own an electric blue denim leisure suit that I paid $10 for :D )

Hey, what're you old people doing?

Sorry, what I meant to say was: All of this is before my time.

Fuck being old, I wasn't even around for the seventies. 1984 vintage.

So which grates on the nerves more.... furries and Anglophiles trying to work the word "shag" into their common useage, or anime nuts tacking "ne" at the end of every sentence?

Charisma · Prattler Joined: 03 Jan 2004 Posts: 163

woah. The word 'shag' is just normal here. completely normal. nothing to do with austin powers or furries.

do Americans ever say "I'm knackered", as in 'tired out'? I heard it was meant as a sexual refernce in the states.

ZenZhu · Vociferator Joined: 22 Mar 2004 Posts: 669

I've never heard that term used at all. The closest I could say is describing the sound one of those Newtonian ball sculptures makes.... knack... knack... knack... knack...

Nope. A lot of Britishisms are never used over here, as a matter of fact.

Do people over there call eachother "homie/homes" or "nigga?" What about using the term "ghetto?" Does anybody over there rice up their cars?
