Some other shit you might like to know
A pie in the UK is usually filled with meat, or rather, the first thing we would associate "pie" with would be a meat pie, filled with mince or steak or chicken and such. We do have fruit pies, of course, but meat pies are better. Unless you're Marlmus; then pie has very different connotations.
If you mention your "pants" we're automatically going to think you're talking about your knickers/ underwear.
Adding "as fuck" at the end instantly makes something much worse. You can't get stupider than "stupid as fuck". You can be unemployed, and you can be unemployed as fuck.
And yes, in case you were wondering, Scotland and England both have bookstores.
Square sausages -or a lorn- only exist in Scotland. And they are so damn good my dad has to take three full lorns down to his uncle in England every time we visit.
You can use the word "shit" in place of anything i.e. "He lost his shit", "that's some pretty cool shit". You cannot, however, do the same with shite.
If you mention bacon, it's not just rashers. It's back bacon. Ain't nobody got time for rashers.
Words we won't use because it's American and would get you slapped.
Ass/ Jackass/ Anything with the word ass -It sounds hella stupid in a Scottish and English accent and no one will take you seriously. It's arse. I mean... people say it, and it's thought of as milder than arse, but it's not all that common according to my ears.
Actually, I could make an entirely separate list for British insults and American insults you wouldn't ever hear here.
Freshman, Sophomore etc. We use a different system. I couldn't even tell you what those are.
Cooties. The fucking fuck is a cootie? You'd be more likely to accuse someone of having knits/ lice.
Hickey. Though apparently Kayleigh Bernie said people use it all the time, I don't think I've ever personally heard anyone uttering the word hickey in my entire life.
Semesters are usually what unis and such go by, whereas schools go by terms instead.
We probably actually shouldn't say "dude" so often, but it's slowly slipped it's way into the mouths of the youths because tv is so fuckin' Americanised.
