To be perfectly honest, I know thats the typical american airhead lingo thing. But a lot of times here in London, I dont know what the hell people be talking about sometimes, and thats all local.

Thanks for the intriguing cultural background there, and the additional tips as to what we can and can't use.

I say awesome from time to time, but can't say I use 'dude'.

But whatever. Go **** yourself, dude.

I say awesome on a day to day basis, but not in the American way. I don't think I could ever say dude without taking the piss.

You know it's all just words, right? I mean, they have our entire language, if you want to put it that way. You probably use dozens of words that have come from American culture without realising it, and vice versa.

I'm the same. I don't even think it's to do with the whole pot culture, I think there is just an overwhelming urge to say 'man' when your bonkered that's very difficult to explain.

most of the words that we find unusual from America are just words that we used to say in the past. We exported them over and they have as yet not changed where back here we have moved on

pants for trousers
sidewalk
closet

all words used in the UK 100 or so years ago


there is NO excuse for the way they say Pasta however

Also, this mysterious terrorist group known as Al Kaydah are really starting to bug me.
