I always get in trouble for saying "Really?" After what people say instead of "That's interesting, or tell me more." Really means a whole different thing in the UK

what does it mean..?

saviourself · 10 years ago

Americans say "Really?" At the end of someone's statement, like "Really? She said that? That is messed up." To the Brits I lived with saying "Really?" At the end of their statements made it sound like you are questioning the authenticity of their story, like "Really? That happened? No way." They think you don't believe their word. It took me a while to break that habit.

It's really cold in my house (or as I like to call it refreshing) because I live in the desert. It reaches up to 125 in the summer where I live in Southern California.

Same here, sometimes I wished it would snow here in southern California

What's wank? It sounds like fapping or something and somehow that seems wrong.

meowiamacat · 10 years ago

It is. You are completely right.

British slang for "to masturbate" first recorded in the 1940s (used in Australia and New Zealand too). It's a swear word that's somewhere around "sh*t" in acceptability in polite company and so it's funny to British audiences when it creeps into US tv shows that don't normally allow any sort of swearing e.g. The Simpsons, Frasier.

Don't forget about 'Married with Children' Peggy Bundy from Wanker County and who's maiden name was also Wanker. Always made me giggle.

See what's wrong with the first one is they are using an inference made by the media. And the U.S is very diverse and a large population is Mexican so the Mexican culture celebrates it, its not an official holiday but Mexicans celebrate it

guest · 10 years ago

It's more popular in the us than in Mexico.

guest · 10 years ago

How? I'm pretty sure it more popularn Mexico.

Yesss what is it with the red cups? Every movie; red cups.

badwolf · 10 years ago

The red cups are just plastic cups normally bought for parties or other events because they're cheap, movies use them to show partying with alcohol and stuff. Also there's a country song that was waaayyyy over played called 'red solo cup'

puggle · 10 years ago

hmmm....interesting thank you :)

guest · 10 years ago

Well, a red solo cup is the best receptacle for barbecues, tailgates, fairs, and festivals. The song literally explains what's with red solo cups. They're just the best. And ever since the song, you can count on some idiots making fools of themselves singing the song. It's all good.

Also with the air conditioner thing, in kansas we get the worst of all seasons, last winter it got to -30 degrees F ( can't spell it actually owo) and already it's reached up to 90 degrees F and summers just starting. We need ACs to cope with the really intense heat because sometimes around mid summer it might reach over 112 degrees like last year.

Its rather common in Canada to leave your door open..

badwolf · 10 years ago

It's common in rural kansas too...we have friends who just walk in when we're gone and leave stuff they borrowed or something on our table

guest · 10 years ago

I live in SoCal and we leave our doors open because it helps cool our house down.

Cinco de mayo is just an excuse to go out and get drunk that's why we celebrate it. Cinco de hangover is more like it

guest · 10 years ago

Most people don't even know what they're even celebrating.

texasranger · 10 years ago

I'm pretty sure its memorializing a famous battle were peasants stood up against professional soldiers

America!

Red solo cup I fill you up lets have a party proceed the party I love you red solo cup...

guest · 10 years ago

What is it with the stupid world obsessed with judging and hating shameless American culture and decadence? I drink from a red solo cup 'cause that's what they sell. A bazillion rich twerps bought a Taco Bell and stuck them on every American street. We're big and sweaty from all the Taco Bell and want to bask in cold dry air. No real intelligent person talks about where there from when fighting. Americans don't laugh, we talk about laughing...nothing's that funny anymore after working 80 hours for a**holes. My door's open because I'm a free American and I'll shoot your intruder a**. I don't know a f***ing person who ever did something as fruity as "going out for yogurt." And the term cocksock is funny...but reserved for dorky kids who are lazy and hiding their shameful behavior.

This^ is why the world thinks Americans are ignorant. Nice way of humiliating us even more.

To sum up Americans in my own words, they've been everywhere and done everything without being everywhere and doing anything.
