Hi Folks,

Thought i would pop this on the Forum for a bit of fun. Your country's slang expressions.

Ive included America, England, Australia and Canada for starters.If you dig up info about your country's slang on the net, pop it on this post as well. Have a read and have some fun, and maybe we will be able to understand each other a bit better.

EXAMPLE:

Since I live in the south I catch hell when I travel. Now let's get it straight Little Abner in the comic strips was a Hillbilly and he was from Arkansas. I am from North Carolina and we prefer to be called Mountaineers.

In Africa the people just look at me funny sometimes when I tell them something and when on a radio not a chance of them knowing what I say.

Here are some of the Arkansas slang terms and many carry over to my area.
