Yeah, ribs arn't a big thing here at all. I've only had them once in my life.

"sandwiches"
Not
"sandwidges"
Also, a burger is a kind of sandwich. We usually say burger. The word "sandwich" is only used to be non-specific when talking about combo / value meals. There are chicken and fish sandwiches on that menu too. When you say "I want a number [X]." The typical response is: "Do you want the meal or the sandwich?"
It's funny how certain words are rude here but not there and vice versa.
An American might say that he fell on his "fanny," which, especially if it's a guy saying it, will get some looks from British folks. Meanwhile, Brits seem to use the word "cock" a whole lot more often than Americans; from how they use it it sounds like it's about as vulgar as saying "crap" but in the US, it usually means a penis.
What I don't get is, the condiment that Americans call ketchup is referred to as "tomato sauce" in the UK. So what do they call the stuff you put on top of your spaghetti? Certainly they don't put ketchup on spaghetti, that's horrible even by British cuisine standards.
My ex-boss is a Brit. I just about died laughing when he called a truck, 'lorry'. Such a cutesy hilarious name to call a big machinery.
There goes a lorry. LOL. Calling TV a telly is quite comical. Wanker is a funny insult, but it's also funny when used in proper context. If a girl said "I want you to wank for me" LOL I'd lose my boner.
What are some other funny Brit words?
Just for perspective, what are some funny American words for Brits?
fine.
then how about calling potato chips, crisps?

A white gravy only makes sense when you make biscuits using butter milk, butter and baking soda. You make it by frying flour in a pan that has sausage grease in it, then adding milk and eventually the sausage. It's a MANs kind of dish, for MEN, not limp wrist English queens, so effeminate that your police can't be trusted with a gun.then there's the weird white shit you people have as gravy (seriously WTF is that - looks like old calcium filled dog shit from the 80s made into a liquid and yet still chunky)
Why wouldn't this be the case?cookies are cookies whereas biscuits are biscuits.

When you eat flavorless hockey-puck biscuits, using "mostly brown and water" is proper.
"could care less" Is NOT how it is supposed to be said here, either.
"hold down the fort" is a combination of the concept of holding down a job (that is, failing to be fired) and holding the fort (that is, keeping stead-fast in a walled-off location); that is "hold down the fort" is "take over being assailed at this job and don't screw it up" whilst "hold the fort" is simply "keep invaders at bay".
You bunch also got all prissy-pants with your R sound shortly after we murdered you buggers for trying to make us pay taxes; since then 'the empire' has been in decline and it will continue to decline until such time as the proper enunciation of an R is reinstated.
Why wouldn't this be the case?
Oreo = cookie
fluffy, flake, buttery, savory bread = biscuit
inedible bit of hockey-puck = English biscuit
(btw you are ALL English unless you, some how, did not grow up speaking English: other parts of the island were invaded and destroyed by the English so long ago that there's no good reason to consider there to be any sort of difference any longer)
If the real-brits didn't take the place it was because it wasn't worth taking. Sorry to hear you were raised in the back-woodsactually i'm welsh and i did not speak english until i was 7. my 1st and native tongue is Welsh not english. and the a.sax didn't make it all the way across the island.
I said A correct spelling.
That's how we spell it so that's how we pronounce it. Saying we pronounce it wrong is just ignorant.
You guys spell heaps of shit incorrectly, colour, grey etc, but we don't hasstle you about it.
Yeah, America isn't really big on making sense.
Fucked up spelling of works, stupid date format, no metric system, no UHC.

When you guys say 'A bowl of chili' what exactly is that?
In tv shows and shit I'll see people say 'I'm making my famous chili' or 'Do you want a bowl of chili'. What exactly is that?
It sounds like some kind of soup.
I get that its hot, but what's the food base?
I provided a damn source on Aluminum. It actually came FIRST before Aluminium. I didn't say you're wrong. YOU brought it up saying you say it correctly, then backpedaled to say both are correct (then wtf was the point of bringing it up?) You're seething with rage to comprehend a plain explanation in front of you.
Why is this guy so mad?
Get over the fact that English has been standardized in many different nations... just like.. every other language (Spanish, Chinese, etc). You have zero authority as to which is correct.
It's 2012 buddy. Get out of the country and travel a bit, you ignoramus. People around the world eat different crap. I loved your beautiful country as well as Europe and Asia.
I think your country being ocean-locked far from everyone has driven you bit cuckoo.
Err, o..k...
Psycho....
Anyway, I wasn't having a go at your chili shit, I just want to know what it is. I love hot food. I just want to know what a 'bowl of chili' is.
I'm guessing it aint a bowl full of chili's.
Going on "holiday" means going on "vacation".
Oh and when it's 100 degrees out the country shuts down and flocks to the beach.

100 degrees in the UK? That happens maybe once every decade.
