Re: 30 of your Britishisms used by Americans
Because of you guys, my spelling is all fucked up now.
I never got into saying "mates" or "cheers," but I find myself saying "no worries" sometimes.
I remember being super fucking annoyed when friends back home when to Europe for a week and came back saying, "ciao" all the time thereafter. I could kill them.

Re: 30 of your Britishisms used by Americans
What was the rationale for American English? I keep telling my son off for saying zee and reminding him that it is zed. He's picking up Khmer so logically I'd want him to speak it like a native, same with his English. It's not the accent it's the pronunciation I'm concerned about.General Mackevili wrote:Because of you guys, my spelling is all fucked up now.

An American told me he would love to say " mate" as you can say " Hi mate" to someone and it hides the fact you've forgot their name. But he is too self conscious about using it.General Mackevili wrote:

I thought " no worries" originated from Australians. Or did they steal it!

My fav Anglo words Wanker and Puffter. (spelling?) Can't say I much care for "mate" as it sounds as if your have a puffter thing going with the wanker.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pufter
'One of many terms used to describe a gay man. Pufter can also be spelt puffter or poofter, and is used the same as gay or queer. It's also the longer alternative to puf, puff or poof'
I like 'Wanker' too, it's has a good 'ring' to it and for me it describes exactly what I perceive a person to be.
