if british people call vacations "holiday", what do they call holidays?

Ugh why can't the British just speak English instead of whatever mangled jibberish they choose to blather on in

Typically I hear my British co-workers refer to a traditional holiday in an american sense as a "bank holiday".

in Canada too. Cuz if the banks are closed, EVERYONE is closed.

Need to ask Australians about "mate." A good friend is not a "mate."

So 'mate' is like 'buddy' in the US - hey buddy, move your f*ing car.

 

[MongGrel]

why?

You've got me really, he's always been that way.

Has always had a habit of saying he hates probably at least half the posters on the forum, and he wonders why many posters have no empathy with his passive/aggressive BS.
