# Do you ever find yourself
accidentally slipping British words into your
conversations because of b3ta?

I went into the tailors the other day and asked
for my pair of "trousers". I got giggled at.

# when I thought I was crossing the pond
I was becoming increasingly worried that I'd say "pants"!

I say mo-byle instead of mobile, and I say "manky" but I think that those are mostly because of the evil ex.

I want to say "woo" sometimes, but I haven't actualy slipped up yet.

be caught out immediately.

"Look Mommy, a B3tan!"

# Actually,
we have "mo-byle" "manky" and "woo" as normal
parts of our language anyway. If I went to London,
though, I'm sure i'd slip up with the whole
"pants" thing. Probably loudly and publicly too.

I woo and woosome all the time :) I use the occasional "fucksocks!" and start to find humour in really odd places. Like I'll be walking down the street and have a sudden urge to paint 'golf sale' on a signpost that I spot.

edit: erm, How do you pronounce mobile? I pronounce it "moh-beye-el".
Or "cellphone" if talking to yanks :)
