I've just found a thing on the BBC America web site that offers slang translations! This might be interesting:

I'm going shopping for a pair of drawers? Low cut, boy cut, thongs or thigh highs. After that I'll look for a pair of gutties. Nike's, Sketchers, or Reebock's.

SB, I got a chuckle out of some of those words! biggrin.gif

There's not as many 'translations' as I'd like, but it is fun to read the ones there! Glad you got a chuckle out of them.

I remember my Irish friend Donna would call herself "BARK-in" to mean she's crazy/mad... sometimes I feel like I'm BARK-in too!
