My logic is to just skip the spotted dick and have the custard.

I've had my fair share of pig trotters, love 'em. Never tasted pease pudding but I did stumble upon a can of Spotted Dick once. It tasted as bad as the name sounds. Very dry and spongy.

You took the words right out of my mouth! Ok, if you're gonna use slang, at least fill me in on what it means. And unless you're referring to another American, I'm no spring chicken.

I imagine so! I grew a jalapeno plant one year, of course it went berserk and had so many all I could do was freeze them. We never ate a single one.

Young people. Sheesh. Awesome could be said in a sarcastic way. It should mean, well, awesome. Said sarcastically it would be like saying "blah". Wicked said by a young person here is the same as awesome. It's a good thing. Here.

It wasn't me, I swear! I hear American beer is renowned for being awful. I agree with that statement, which is why I have only tasted in a couple times in my life.

I think the love of hot things is regional. Midwesterners are more of a meat/potatoes kind of crowd. Foods are often served bland at restaurants, unless you are eating at an ethnic one. There aren't too many of those in my area. Sushi is my favorite food, but not too heavy on the wasabi. Pickled jalapenos are too hot, and I'm pretty sure they aren't considered all that spicy.

We say "cold as a witch's tit" here, meaning is obvious. I've heard knuckle dragger but more often obtuse are called window lickers. I would not say this though, it's very negative. Pot licker would be a poor ragamuffin. I would call my chilluns potlickers. I think I'll start tonight.

I bet I've been called Dreagh a time or two.......although I do unnerstand what turn the wick up is referring to.

Somehow, you made Marmite sound delicious. Is that even possible?
-
If I am willing to try Marmite, I am willing to try about anything, no? I hate yellow American mustard, English can only be an improvement. Is it hot?

I thought owt was a spelling mistake.

You foreigners have a funny name for just about everything. I know I'm the foreigner here, I'm just embracing my inner Yank and being narcissistic. Sometimes people from the North U.S. are called Yankees, but not so much any more. People from my area of the U.S. are sometimes called hillbillies or rednecks. Occasionally I will slip into that sort of dialect for fun. It goes something like "Come 'ere young'un, get some vittles from yonder pot before I tan yer hide!" or "Let's get on the four-wheeler and head on down to the holler so we can go mud-bogging." I have indeed gone mudding on a four-wheeler. We were driving down a mud road with some friends a few years back. It was an amazing sight because both four-wheelers had 6 foot tall rooster tails made of mud spraying up behind as we rode. Hillbillies.

Ok, I had to google it. What's the point??!! There is NO similarity!
-
I still don't know what a Dutch rudder is. I'm going to guess it's like what we call "motorboating".

This sounds entirely filthy! Of course, this forum is populated mostly by men.

I think you must have been drinking Gatorade. It's not very tasty (scrumpy), quite salty and a little sweet. Crumpets are difficult to find here, and I bet they don't taste nearly as good as crumpets in their native land. I'm speaking of the food kind. Not sure about American women being called crumpets.

If you sleep with dogs you get fleas. We call fizzy drinks pop in parts of the Midwest. Soda in other parts, and I hear Southerners call it coke. I just don't know how they order drinks. If you go to a McDonalds in the Midwest and ask for a coke, you get a coke. How does that work in the South? What if I wanted a Mountain Dew? I don't drink pop (fizzy drinks) though, so I have never ran into that problem. Kleenex is any kind of boxed tissue. Brand doesn't matter, if you need to blow your nose you ask for a Kleenex.

Although not slang, Zig Zag here is a paper used to roll joints. Is joint an American slang word? A joint is like a cigarette, but made with marijuana.
-
Well, you have me stumped. It sounds like some kind of ghetto talk from the U.S.
-
BTW, Mr. Stump, I apologize for derailing your thread!

I do want to know! I hate feeling left out. We make something called a pig in a blanket here. It's a hot dog wrapped in a slice of cheese, wrapped in a slice of white bread. Then baked until it is crispy and done. This is generally served at school, not at home for dinner.
