Be careful what you say

Whatever You Say, Say Nothing

Yes, very important etiquette.
Be careful not to say, "Get the fuck out of my office, you cunt!!" when you mean to say, "Boss, how can I help you?" It's a faux pas I make frequently. Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???" 
This thread has gone NUCULAR !!!
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
Fanny. A very different meaning in America to the rest of the English speaking world.
Always used to giggle during the opening song to a certain American sitcom with Fran Drescher. Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???"  (May 14, 2018 at 5:37 pm)ignoramus Wrote: This thread has gone NUCULAR !!!  New-Clear. Piece of cake. 
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Regarding Food
First and foremost, what Americans think of as pudding isn't pudding, it is custard, which is sometimes put on or in a pudding. All desserts are puddings, but not all puddings are desserts. If it helps, what you think of as pies are something we might consider putting pudding on. That being said, what we think of as pies are almost never desserts, are sometimes puddings, and are more likely than not to be savoury. For clarity's sake, there are some pies that are indeed puddings, such as mince pie. Mince pie is made with mincemeat, which contains no meat, but doesn't contain mince, which does. It is acceptable to put what you think of as pudding on this type of pie which is itself a pudding. Above, I mentioned that not all puddings are desserts. Two classic examples are black pudding (which contains blood and is fucking delicious) and white pudding (which contains no blood yet still manages to be fucking delicious). Moving on. There seems to be some confusions about the difference between chips and French fries. Nothing could be simpler - chips are chipped potatoes that are fried, whereas as French fries are fried chipped potatoes. Duh. (Actually there is a difference - chips tend to be much thicker) Bread roll, bun, dinner roll, bap, cob, barm, kaiser roll, bread cake, barm cake, batch, muffin, softie, and buttery all mean the same thing (depending your county of origin. Or even your street of origin. Boru

Here in California, it doesn't always sit well with the wait staff to ask for that. I'm going to scrounge up my old "Nuke the Whales" T-shirt and wear that around for a laugh.
