How about British phrases that Americans find funny? ;)

I was going to say dog breeds, but British slang sounds fun too!

AC/DC meaning bi sexual.

Bloody hell - well, meaning is obvious, but it's a swear :)
Chuffing Nora -- I have NO idea what this means, but my Brit ex-pat friend uses it all the time when he's mad.

Well I think the only one I knew was "bloody hell"... darn

And I thought I knew what Bloody hell mean :o

What did you think it meant Unky?

It pretty much is another term or phrase for, oh crap, or dangit, or something along the lines of that.

Dog's Bullocks--- I don't really know what it means, but I used to listen to the sex pistols, so I think it kind of means bull poop or something snide.

Dog's Bullocks--- I don't really know what it means, but I used to listen to the sex pistols, so i think it kind of means bull poop or something snide.

It means it's the best (use: that korean take-away I had last night was the dog's bullocks) :D

Chuffing nora is kind of the same as bloody hell :o

Earwiggin (eavesdropping)
Fag (cigarette :D)

Well, I thought it was some sort of greeting Adam :o

Garden --which also confuses me. My Brit friends use garden and yard interchangeably, but apparently they're not the same thing, even though he uses them interchangeably. No clue, but it makes me giggle.
Hacked off - angry or annoyed
Ickle--this one REALLY makes me giggle for some reason. Well, pretty much all Brit slang makes me giggle. Yes, I'm weird. It means little

Well, I thought it was some sort of greeting Adam :o

Just so you know, I wasn't trying to be mean or rude about that Unky. I was seriously asking what you thought it meant, in a nice kind way. I look back at it now and see it could be read differently than the way it was intended.

Oh, don't worry about that, I know what you meant and I didn't see the 'other' way until you just pointed it out. It's okay, really :)

Jolly - We Americans say "very good" or "ok"
Kip - We say "nap".
Leg it - we say "run".

Mad - Americans say "crazy"
Nackered (though I'm not sure if this is spelled with a K or not) - tired
Old Chap - see, here's one that I laughed like mad about. I always thought that old chap meant either one's father, or was an affectionate term for a friend. NOPE! Come to find out, when I was laughed out of the room, that it's an affectionate term for erm... a penis.

Pass - We Americans would say "I don't know".
Queer - We'd say "ill"
Right - we would say "very"

Our esteemed Administrator Ben should be able to add some nifty stuff to this one: C'mon Ben, give us a good A-Z! :)

Shrek in a Frock--- someone who is acting out of control... thank you Gordon Ramsey.

Throw a Wobbly---Have a fit

Up the Duff--- being pregnant.

So "V" is a toughie. Let's skip it for now, then.

Wanker. I love that word! :) It's what the Brits call a general jerk.

I'm sure that "X" will be another difficult one. I do know of some for Y and Z but will hold off to see if any of y'all can come up with one for "X".

The only thing I've been able to come up with is the "V for Victory" (or "peace") hand gesture in the US has a VERY different meaning in the UK.

The only thing I've been able to come up with is the "V for Victory" (or "peace") hand gesture in the US has a VERY different meaning in the UK.

Only if you get it the wrong way round, otherwise its still peace :)

Yonks - means "a long time".
Zed - the brits say Zed for the last letter of the alphabet.
