Lol, lighten up people. Most of these obviously aren't serious. Damn Brits getting all offensive. |

Some people don't have a sense of humour. Most of these were jokes. |

This is so crap. If I ever use the term "wishy-washies" please pull out a 'rooty-tooty point and shooty' and kill me... |

I am so using the term whimsy flims now. Like, no one will know what I mean. But it sounds so much better than pen. |

It started well, but I've never heard of Wishy Washies (windscreen wipers) and the last four should be blueberry pancakes, pen (ballpoints are nicknamed Biros after a popular brand), ice lolly and gun, or pistol.
This list probably isn't serious, though. |

Although some of those are obviously incorrect, as an American, I would never have known if someone didn't correct it. It's like someone telling you to say Me gusta perros to mean I love cats in spanish (I know that is incorrect) and no one ever corrects you, you sound like a fool. In short, don't take it offensively when American take this seriously, we just really don't know. If I see something that says "in Britain we call windshield wipers 'wishy washies'" I have nothing other than that to go on, although I will think that is incredibly stupid.
On a side note, what do you call biscuits, if you call cookies biscuits? |

I did like rooty tooty point and shooty. I assume this is a joke and Americans don't really think we have the vocabulary of a three year old for everyday objects otherwise. They're windscreen wipers for a start. and people who are not from London don't use any form of rhymig slang, its not a generic British thing. In fact most people from London probably don't. |

For all you mockney roosterneys out there
Pistol = Lady from Bristol, Pen = Layin Hen, Face = Ricky Gervais, Windscreen wiper = Billie Piper...
In English gun=Pistol, Pen=Biro, Popsicle=Lolly
Example of a mockney = Christian Bale.
I'll stop now.
