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.

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 :)
