Australia just has to join the E.U.

Reading the blue disclaimer sticker makes me feel better. At least my faggots don't have anything artificial in them ....

Iceland is a supermarket chain, so called because they sell a lot of frozen produce.

Or part of Scandinavia where it's okay to cannibalize homosexuals.

Something tells me that even if I move to the UK AND start smoking, I won't be able to talking about going to suck a fag.

[flaninacupboard]

no one says that. they say smoke a fag or going for a fag.

[Tommyknocker]

Afraid you're splitting hairs, Flan. Either of the three phrases will make the average straight American male nauseous if he hears it. Because they all basically mean the same to us. Of course, the smoke phrase is a little borderline. I married a Thai woman, so I would say I "went for" an Oriental.

[flaninacupboard]

don't you use smoke as opposed to shoot sometimes? "i'm just nipping out to shoot a homosexual?"

[Tommyknocker]

Depends on which part of the culture you're referring to. Some parts it means to perform oral sex on someone, to kill someone (usually by shooting as you mentioned), or defeat soundly (usually in a sporting event, like racing).

what is a UK spider or skillet?

[ZAPPER]

What about US pudding vs UK pudding

[flaninacupboard]

spidder is a crawly thing that women hate, skillet is a food instrument, something to do with fish?

[Capmaster]

"Spidder"? Oh ...the british spelling
Skillet = frying pan

[ZAPPER]

Oh oh, now I am confused. I thought that the Brits called a tea pot a spider or spidder and the eight legged critter a skillet. See how those childhood things can stick with you.

[flaninacupboard]

no, an english disease, doubleo typis.
If a skillet is a frying pan, then, uh, it's a frying pan? the device you'd use to create a fried breakfast, right?

[Conquest10]

Yes, a skillet is a frying pan.

[Capmaster]

Yep. Generally a skillet is a larger, heavier one, but some would disagree. Like a cast-iron skillet. You rarely hear "cast-iron frying pan".

[ZAPPER]

I tend to agree that a skillet is a frying pan. But at some point in my youth I heard that it was an English term for the eight legged bug. And that a spider was either a tea pot or maybe a cover for a tea pot. I am sooooo confused. Is there an English to English dictionary?

[flaninacupboard]

Well i had a quick browse on the UK interweb, and frying pans are just that. maybe a chef would know the difference :P
