  OK, America, this is it. You have got to start learning English English at some point or another, after all, us Brits are having to learn American English to be able to understand all those films (movies) about how you saved our arses (butts) during the 1939 -1945 (1941 - 1945) war.

  Now we all know the obvious ones, such as you calling a car bonnet the hood, the boot is the trunk and a spanner being a wrench etc etc. Plus the fact that you eat fries instead of chips and spread mayo instead of butter. By the way what the hell is a brownie, is it something in the loo (rest room, comfort station, john)?

  So, come on, lets have a bit of fun with this and and some ribbing of nationalities a la Norwegian / Brit Mickey (piss) taking.

  I'll start. American cars all have quarter panels. Anyone this side of the pond have the remotest clue as to what a quarter panel is?

  brownies are a type of desert made from squirrel brains and toenail clippings. They are called 'brownies' because originall they were made from buffalo knee cap cartilage and this is a brown color shade to it.

  This isn't nearly as disgusting or fowl smelling as british marmite..yuck!!

  A quarter panel is a fender on the front driver side or passenger side of an automobile. Come on now, we are not that off, at least we don't speak in clicks and grunts! And I plead ignorance, I didn't make the rules!

  "A quarter panel is a fender on the front driver side or passenger side of an automobile"

  A fender is a bumper, right?
