u don’t open a telephone conversation with a “HELLO” but with a “Hi”

The telephone is never “engaged”, it’s always “busy”.

U don’t “disconnect” a phone, U simply “hang-up”.

U never “mess-up” things, U only “screw them up”.

U don’t look for the “toilet”/”loo”, U look for the “restroom”

U no longer say “I agree” or “thats so true”, U say “U bet!!”

U never have a “residence” tel. no., U have a “home no”.

U don’t stop at the “signals”, but halt at the “lights”.

U don’t “accelerate”, U “step on the gas”.

Your tire never “punctures”, U may have a “flat”.

The trains have “coaches” or “boggies” no more but “carriages” or “boxes”.

There R no “petrol pumps”, but “gas stations”.

“I don’t know nothing”, 2 negatives don’t make a positive here.

U no longer meet a “wonderful” person, U meet a “cool” guy

U don’t pull the switch down to light a bulb, rather flick it up.

No one stays “a stone’s throw away”, might “a few blocks away”.

There’s no “Town Side”, it’s “Down Town”.

In hotel U no longer ask for “bill” and pay by “cheque”, rather ask for “check” and pay with (Dollar) “bill”s.

There R no “soft drinks”, only “soda” or “pop”

Life’s no longer “miserable” it “stinks” .

Never “post” a letter, always “mail” it and “glue” the stamps, don’t “stick” them.

U no longer live in “flats” or “blocks”, find an “apartment”.

U don’t stand in a “queue”, you are in a “line”.

U no longer “like” something, U “appreciate” it.

“#” is not “hash”, it’s “pound”.

U can’t get “surprised” U get “zapped”.

U never “joke”, U just “kid”.

U never “increase” the pressure, U always “crank” it up.

U never ask for a pencil “rubber” U ask for an eraser. a rubber is a condom

U don’t try to find a lift U find an elevator.

U no more ask for a route but for a “RAUT”

U don’t ask somebody “How r u ?”, U say “What’s up dude?”

U never go to see a game U go to watch a game.

There’s no FULL STOP after a statement, there’s a PERIOD.

If someone gets angry at U, U get “flamed”.

You don’t say “How do you do”, you say “How you doing”

In short U don’t speak English, U speak American.

Well u dont’ say life is boring u say LIFE SUCKS !!!!!
