Well, you're obviously not American. Every American knows that excess is the way to go. Where do you think supersized meals and all-you-can-eat buffets were invented? Also, where do you think this comes from? :tongue:

English as it was meant to be!:thumbsup:
My favoUrite ever is one I learned in Memphis:
You're an ass-hat.
I don't know exactly what that means, but I like it.

Funny thing is, when I've been to Europe and eaten at a restaurant, they will PILE food in front of you. When I was in Italy, Hungary and Slovakia, eating out became intimidating and I never even attempted to finish it all, despite hating to waste food.
I think the difference is that many Europeans walk to wherever they go..or at least walk to the bust/train stop. And in America, fast food is just total shit with zero nutritional value. But Europeans and South Americans, from my experiences, can and do eat a whole lot.
Hmmm. A sport where you are allowed to pick the ball up with your hands, and run with it. I'm sorry, there's no way I'm calling that "foot"ball.
Don't get me wrong, I enyoy the sport as much as the next guy, I'm just not calling it that.
The question is of course what it should be called. Rugby?

I'd call it, "The most kick-ass game in the world." Not short and sweet, but w/e.

Loo, lift, lorry, mate, maths. All of these idiocyncracies may be forgiven.
But biscuits in American English relate to a small soft leavened bread, somewhat similar to a scone.
What you fog backs call biscuits we call cookies. Is that right? Is it fair? Who cares?

Yea, and you probably watch "the A team" (bangers) on TV Land as well. :tongue:
:jester:
There is no "I" in "team."
But there is a "U" in "bullshit".
