One word: "Snogging". How can you take your language seriously if you refer to it as "snogging". ;)

Clearly you haven't watched AbFab lately. My wife loves the show and owns all four seasons on dvd, but i've found a lot of the expressions and accents on it practically incomprehensible. They've progressed to unintelligibility in one generation: Fawlty Towers/Monty Python -> Absolutely Fabulous :-)Certainly there is progress, but it rarely found in backwaters. <evil grin> I'm just pointing out that the US is so culturally diverse that it has both backwaters and cutting edge. You poor English can just muddle through in the muddy middle. :-) Dan M.
Then again, i had to ask what a 'git' was today, so perhaps I'm not the best judge! :)
