Same Words Different Meanings.....


So after Talking to Imi yesterday on Skype....I have come to the realization that sometimes I say things that have different meanings to you guys.

I try to be carefull....I remember I was commeting on a picture of someones son. I said...."He is such a Ham" They thought I was calling him a pig... Ham is a good thing...I guess its kind of like whey you say Cheekey for the camera....or cute.

I told Imi someting was Tart....To me Tart is a flavor...Like Tangie or Zangy...But Imi said a Tart is .... Well you know what Tart is.

Same time when I first came on the forum I was called a Cow....I thougt I was being called Fat

Have you come across anything I have said that you would like to know what I ment

Just think it is funny that the same word can have some many different meanings

I think I have it all figured on for the most part. But I never thought that some things I say can come out as Odd.

I told Wobbles once that I would Sponcer her to come to america.....

Nappy is slang for Nap (sleep) Its Nap Time Cause to you Nappies are diapers

My fave transatlantic translation has to be fanny. Fany means bum to you Suz?? whereas it means something completely different here, I still sniger when I hear a bug bag referred to as a fanny pack. There are some cloth nappy's called fuzzi fannies and fanciful fannies
