5 January 2011- The Complicated English Dictionary

I'm learning the oh so complicated language over here....

quid = bucks ($)

rocket = arugula

chips = french fries

crisps = chips

no one says bathroom or restroom here, they say toilet...i've gotten some pretty confusing looks when I ask where the bathroom is

A&E= emergency room

holiday= vacation

surgical spirits= rubbing alcohol

rubber= eraser

and spotted dick is not a disease or contagious, it is actually a dessert pudding :)
