Too short?

Well I had spoke before how things are shorten to kid phrases as I call it...
Brekkie = breakfast
Pressie = present
And so on....
But something's they MUST keep long and it's mind boggling. 
Gum must always be called chewing gum.  Really?
Dryer must be called a tumble dryer. Now what other kind is there nowadays. 

So funny and that's all I have folks :)
Welcome to my spotting of weirdness to me and maybe me only.

One of *those* moms/mam/mum's ect...

I am an ex-smoker as I don't smoke 20 a day anymore because it stinks and the cost is insane oh and I should say its bad for your health too!  I occasionally partake in a smoke or two when drinking or when I feel like it because I am an adult *stomping foot on the ground* and I will do what I want!

Sorry I got carried away there... back to my point, yes I did have one.

So I no longer smoke and I am thankful for that because I see SO many smokers who light up right outside the grocery store or while pushing their strollers/buggy's/prams down the street and it is hanging out of their mouth - YUCK.

I saw today a mom/mum/mam in a ONSIE with a smoke hanging out of her mouth while/whilst pushing a baby in a stroller/buggy/pram and walking her toddler to school.  I thought, "good god if you could see what trash you look like right now."

I am not saying this is a British thing but the British do walk around more then the Americans because here you walk your kid to school because it is close enough.

Its still gross as people don't realise/realize how nasty this looks and stinks.  Gosh I used to smell like that ALL the time *sigh*  glad I don't anymore.

Blank tipping

Well a few of us were out on a walk and a funny thing happened...

We walked past a field type area and it had a sign that said, "no fly tipping" and I was puzzled. WTF is fly tipping?

Me being me said to my English friends, "ok I know what cow tipping is but what is fly tipping?" Without missing a beat,one says no dumping like rubbish. I was giggling internally.

My other English friend that was there was round ours today and confessed she found it hilarious. Then it turned into maybe flicking a fly when it was still was like fly tipping.

How the hell is fly tipping = no dumping? HA

Too funny some of these odd British words :)
