Cleveland: The only British idiom I know is that "[censored]" means "cigarette."
Peter Griffin: Well, someone tell this cigarette to shut up.

Exactly. I spent a couple weeks on England and by the third day I was ready to poke my eyes out listening to that high-pitched jibberish.

The chicks did not annoy me though.

While I was doing a stint of casino whoring, I had to call up customer support for Casino-on-Net. I ended up talking to a really cute sounding British girl. Now I want a British girlfriend. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

If I never hear another person say "cawn't" "bawth" or "dawnce" it'll be too soon. It's ENGLISH for chrissake. Can't they just say the letters that are there?

You mean like tomayto?

Yes "to ma' to" " not "to mah' to" ". There's no "h" and there sure as hell aint no "w".

To me it sound like "valley girl" in reverse. Or "vahllie gill" more (in)correctly.
