Sea Hag Posted September 26, 2008 #3 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Shouldn't there be (and maybe there already is) some sort of term like "bingo birds" to define those who flock to the show lounge for bingo? Flap, flap. Oh look! Here comes a whole flight of bingo birds! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fann1sh Posted September 28, 2008 #4 Share Posted September 28, 2008 That was fun and informative! Thanks Now we need a list so Brits and Americans can understand each other! lol Very true! I'll never forget a "daily quiz" on a cruise a few years ago that required one to take ordinary English words (anorak, jumper, aubergine) and translate them into American. As a Canadian, I figured I'd be mid-Atlantic enough to win this one easily. Sadly, I was stumped by "pantechnicon" (which I thought was any semi, not specifically a furniture removal truck) , and a savvy Brit scooped the hono(u)rs. Thanks so much, Sea Hag! Lots of fun! I've bookmarked this.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
