Lingo and Give Me a Nudge
Hi, this is another post from Sam. I'll start with lingo. One thing about the U.K. is the language difference. Diapers are called nappies, and chips are called crisps. Mary E. isn't in on the lingo, she hates it when we call french fries chips. Pastie, what the heck is it? It is a pastry except instead of delicious sweet things inside, it is filled with veggies, meat or a mixture. I had one with cheese, onion, tomato & basil. Also, at Subway if they ask, "Do you want salad on this?" It means lettuce or no lettuce. "Give me a nudge," is what the slot machine said to me earlier. If I knew what that meant I could have won 1 pound. Anyway, you learn something new everyday whether or not it matters a lot, or the tiniest bit=) Thanks for reading, keep the comments coming please.
