<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Wank!: Because they are cooked in their jackets... <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> A jacket is an article of clothing used either to keep one's self warm or as a fashion accessory. Potatoes have neither. They have skins. You don't hear people yammering on about 'potato jackets' ~ they're 'potato skins.' 'Jackets' just sounds so ghey... Yeah, and fuck you, SC...

'bollocks' = 'fuck' 'i just bolloxed that one up' = 'i fucked it up big time' 'oof, i just caught my bollocks a treat' = 'i just smashed my balls to high heaven' 'yeah, thats a load of bollocks' = 'you lying lying fucker' there are probably more uses for this word, but i have no time to into them here ...

Ah well, as much prolific fun it would definitely be to have it out over respective Anglo/American oddities & discrepencies in expression, grammar, pronunciation,etc., I think all that would be definitely established is that we've both got a lot of shite slang that's incomprehensible to non-natives. But I have to mention one particular Brit pronunciation that drives me mad: "schedule" with a soft "c" (phon. "shedyul"). I'm sorry, but I attended "skool", not "shool". Whenever I hear that "shedyul" schitt, I wanna grab the poofter bie hiz coller and strangel him.

Taken from the Oxford English Dictionary (1962) Jacket (Jak'-et): A short sleeved coat; Outer covering or skin (as in potatoes); An outer casing for a boiler to keep in heat; A loose dust cover for a book; (slang) to thrash; Origin - French - Jaquet of Jaque - a coat of mail Don't go fucking lecturing us on a language that you don't even fucking speak. Carry on using your bastardised version of the language, and stick to the Imperial system in some vein attempt to single yourselves out as something special.
