When I came to The states, I thought we spoke the same language, but I was wrong lol, even a few pieces of kitchen items have totally different definitions.

 

A Pan - something we put on the cooker to boil potatoes in, no way something you put in the oven to bake a cake in

 

a Kettle  a vessel to boil water to make a good brew, not to the americans an open pan to boil fish etc in on the top of the stove.

 

pots, someting to put a good brew in not to boil spuds in

 

A Jug  a piece of pottery with a spout and a handle, I get my weekly measure of Gin in a plastic bottle which they call a jug.

 

A cup, usually something with a handle we drink tea out of, but the cups here are handle less which I put pigeon feed in.

 

Tea Pot, the thing we serve Tea in but here it's the thing we put on the cooker to boil the water for brweing the tea.

 

No wonder I'm confused lol, and I'm double confused when they call a Bum bag a Fanny Pack

When I was a wee boy in Coatbridge (Coatbrig to the initiated) there were hundreds of words which were obviously regional dialect. Some were not even recognised just a few miles out of the Brig!  ::) ::)

 

Nowadays with TV and all the fast communications we have, the words have either become more widely used or conversely vanished.  :'(

 

I think the influence of TV for introducing accepted English (via news progs: by the way what is a "pind" as in "The man lost several hundred pinds"???) and also Americanisms ("Who loves ya baby" etc; showing my age there then) have had a huge influence on our language and our pronunciation.  :-/

 

Listen to many youngsters today and when they say something, their voices rise towards the end of the sentence. Linguists say that this never occurred in Britain in the recent past, but is distinctly Australian and West Coast America. where do they get that habit from then???? 8) ::)

 

Anyway, enough of the ramble. I must get back to reading my Burns Complete Works so that I will understand Jimmy White next time I phone him!! LOL :P ;D :D

 

By the way, can anyone tell me what a KOBY is? Not sure of the spelling, but it is a word I remember well from my childhood, but no one else seems to use it. Any ideas Jimmy the oracle?? LOL :D
