English to American
In a recent post Shabbaman referred to bollocks. I've heard that most of my life, but never knew what it was. So I typed it into google and found this lovely website.
http://english2american.com/ apparently bollocks are nuts.... here is the entry for it. Quote:

Tubs,
A few pointers... Shabba once told me that "I wouldn't know sarcasm if it kicked me in my teeth". To which I replied "I don't have any teeth". Irony along with sarcasm is the basis of English humour and totally lost on most Americans. Saying "...NOT!" is not sarcasm. A couple others.. Twat. In the US, calling someone a twat is unwise since you are accusing them of being a pussy. In the UK, it's a mild insult meaning "idiot" which we are so you perceive it to be a compliment. I now ordain you a "twat" when talking to you at CDZ. Personally I would like to learn proper usage of cockney rhymes someday...you know sandra bollocks and all. Oh one last thing....soccer is not a word in any language outside of the United States. If you do use it...I say bollocks Tubby gets fist in arse.

 21.1*KB Tubby ???  I learned that when my cousin and I wrote a song whose title was set up around that word... long ago. Came from the Pistols of course (him). Realized that a bit later, but got the meaning immediately... To conclude the lil' story that nobody cares about, "my" "mansion" in the country yard is named (in French) after something close to that... which is in close relationship with said song. OK, I'm going back to Civ4, sorry for threadjacking.

Perhaps I should have said "people might be occasionally amused at my sarcastic comments."

You and I are going to need to have a good talk in London Rik. That is one biased view Mister. What's the difference? The couple I know are both have their masters, have a great track record and one parent stays at home because the other makes a phenomenal living to support the lifestyle.
