Yes...this is what has been running through my head for the last hour. Inspired by an episode of Chopped that I watched on the Tivo last night.
Cheers!
PS Gilly, you don't count since you claim you don't have an accent. :)
PPS With my luck, I'll be the B(.)(.)Bs blogger of the day tomorrow and this will be somebody's 1st time reading my blog. So...um..welcome to my blog. Yes, I do have a bit of crazy in the brain, but I'm harmless...I promise. But you should beware of the chicken 'cause it will cut you!

There is a song by British singer Robbie Williams that goes "My breath smells like a thousand fags...." and well if you said that in the US, people would look at you really sketchy! It's interesting though at the differences in the same language, you know. I have weird thoughts like that too. You're not alone!! :)
however you take it, that's some STANKY breath!
As I am married to a Brit...well he gets away with a hell of a lot of things that I could never say. do you know that they call people silly cow's? The first time one of his friends called me that I about blew a gasket...I guess the cows in the UK are not used in reference to fat people.
The accent allows my husband to get away with stuff but other times he will say something with the wrong inflection in his voice and we will get in an argument because I will read the tone and inflection from a US ear and infer something completely different :) Believe me..I have given this stuff lots of thought!!
xxxooo
G'day Mate... when an Aussie says it, it's a welcome to friends and strangers alike, when any other accented person says it, I just here a cheesey greeting from some lame advertising campaign :o)
Like Tina I am married to a brit and he gets away with all sorts of slang that I don't!
And people think it is so cute. Women swoon over it. *hear the southern girlie drawl* "I just love to listen at him talk. Don't you just love it?!" Well yes, when he is being sweet I do.
Most British are quite vulgur and improper! I can say it because I know it. But most people don't think so cause all they hear is the queens english!
Well that's just bollocks!
I love CHopped, BTW
Just stopping by to say hello. I live in Warner Robins Georgia.
