I'm pretty sure this was meant as a joke. You know, playing off the idea American's have of quaint British slang. I started getting suspicious at wishy-washy but then it was obviously a joke at the last few. |

"some americans it seems they think we genuinely use these crazy terms"
You don't? Ever been in barney? "Yeah, that's what I thought," he said smugly.
For you american types 'barney' means 'in trouble'.

The first 4 are correct, and the Chips and crisps ones are too, but the rest, ive never heard. theyre probly some misinformed person's idea of roosterney rhyming slang. |

I think using the term "Rooty tooty point and shooty" would actually get you shot. |

@frylock we're taking it as a joke, but by the comments being left by some americans it seems they think we genuinely use these crazy terms - they're asking and we're answering is all |

I may start using the term "slappy ham" now. This list is largely bullpoo, but it'd make things far more interesting. :) |

JoeYC - "half of this is wrong. drating americans."
How do you know Americans wrote it? Coulda been anybody.
But, europe never misses a chance to bash the U.S. I shouldn't spoil your fun. |

The reason the "rooty-tooty point and shooty" is so funny is that it's a ripoff of a brilliant Brian Regan bit. |

Biscuit, trolley, nappy, torch, chips and crisps are correct. All the others are surely someone having a laugh (I lived in the UK until I was 23) |
