Haha.

I say Math, but Maths does make sense, too, but we're not taught to say that here lol

We say "Math problems".. we wouldn't say "Maths problems".

What would you say when speaking about a singular problem/question?

"Do this Math problem", for example..

English is English everywhere =p I'm not sure what American would be because there is North America and South America and many different languages. There is American English at least lol

Well, pee pee or pecker for the boys is quite acceptable here,

except in the hospital were slang is prohibited.

Testicles is the proper way but we all say balls all the time.

We do say vag. instead of vagina pretty often, even the doctors say that.

But if we ever say tits instead of breasts you get frowns all around.

Peace!

In Australia, the word "dear" means expensive. Is it the same in the UK?

This will be fun because I'm going to throw more Aussie terms out there for you to see if they correspond to traditional UK slang. For example, do you ever say that you're going for a "walk-about"?
And Cher, I already know that I'm nuts!

Happy Election Day. Which party did you vote for? And Cher, what do you think of the SNP?

I didn't get a chance to vote, I am in the other house today and am not registered for here, it didn't occur to me to ask for a postal vote, until it was too late.

Ironically I finally have a party to vote for, this has not happened for over 20 years.

I would have voted for the TUSC, even though they have no chance of winning anything, for at least I could have voted with my morals relatively intact.

I am an SNP supporter and always have been. They don't obviously campaign in England though.

Caution, I am feral.

Say what you think, love who you love, because you only get so many trips 'round the Sun. Smack my wristies because that should have gone on either the Music or Quotes threads. Before you smack me, tell me where that line came from.

And Gibson's line only took me 3 weeks to learn!
