I thought I would slowly pick up the British accent as I've been living here...I'm sorry, I still haven't. My American accent will always remain! However, I keep picking up British 'slang' in the past 10 months and would love to share these catchy phrases:
-pardon? (what?)
-nappy (diaper for babies)
-rubbish (trash)
-cuppa (tea)
-English roast (best thing ever on a Sunday afternoon...meat, veggies, potatoes, and apple crumble with custard for dessert usually)
-biscuits (cookies)
-fag (cigarette)
-cheers (thanks)
-keep calm and carry on! (what everyone says when things go wrong)
-Only Way is Essex (where I live and a bad TV show like "The Hills")
-pants (underwear...still hard to remember sometimes)
-trousers (pants)
-boot (car trunk)
-brolly (umbrella)
-black pudding (disgusting)
-spotted dick (a pudding...weird name)
