Tats! Tats! Tats!...

[p_p_man]

Has got to be the worst word recently contrived from your side of the water!

Tats! Shmatz!!

 

[cymbidia]

Worse than "bangers" for sausages?
I *don't* think so.

 

[p_p_man]

Maybe I've got it wrong...

Reading various posts I've understood "tats" to be a euphonism for "breasts".

If it is then it's still the worst word recently contrived from the US...

If it's not, I'm sorry...

~laughing~
(ummm .. not at you, with you. really.)

tatas = breasts

tats = tattoos

See that all-important "a" in there?

 

[p_p_man]

ROTFLMAO!

That's what I meant...Tatas....

I do know tats is tattoos...just put my thread down to quickly without checking back...

Thanks...

Tatas is a bit close to the Brit' word taters. (Short for potatoes.)
So nice tatas gives us the impression of someone with big King Edwards.

...or a portion of chips...

everytime I see the word tatas I imagine a woman with huge chips sticking out of her chest...

In American-speak chips equals french fries, a poor imitation of the real British chip which goes with our fish. But you can't expect anything less from something with "French" in its name...

Look! He's downing the Americans and the French in the same post! It's a new record!

Everything is a euphemism for breasts........

Or "fag" for a cigarette?

So can you ask a fag for a "fag"?

Or can you 'Bang 'er' before you eat you banger?

I don't want you to get your knickers in a knot, but if you wear a rubber instead of a sheath, you're soon going to need a nappy or two around the house.

No, you won't have knocked her up - you got her preggers by bonking her early in the morning. The only reason she let you was cause she was pissed the night before and got sick in the loo.

You took advantage of her on the bonnet of your lorry and now she is threatening to hire both a solicitor and a barrister to sue you. Better start saving all your notes.

If you do, they'll likely be offended. It's not a nice thing to say, you know.

I doubt if they would be offended. Fag is an accepted slang word for cigarette. In fact you would prabably hear fag mentioned more times in the UK than cigarette.

Where it might cause embarrasment is when talking to an American and you say "I fancy a fag". We wouldn't think of it as meaning a gay but the American would!

Re: When Brit-American Slang attacks!

She ran out of the kazi. Knocking into some dozy wazzack who dropped his spanner on the tarmac. Then narrowly avoiding an artic, she shot across the dual carriageway, to the motorway roundabout. Trailing her manky brolly behind her.
I gandered at her jugs, remembering the half pint sprog she once was. A real bampot bairn.
As I slowed , she dropped her dog end, ran round the boot and jumped in my estate. The bint seemed dead chuffed. I smiled. I knew this totty banged like a barn door. Yep ,,, gonna cop off tonight, probably spend a couple a quid at the chippy's, then round behind the off licence for a good rodgering.
