Happens the other way too. Used to work in IT with Australians and it was hard for them to stifle giggles whenever I was talking about routing packets or routers.
For them, “rooting” means fucking
The one that gets me is Americans using fanny, which means vagina.
In the US, fanny usually means butt, but only square soccer moms and teacher types would use the term. Fanny packs are a real thing though
Fanny packs are a thing but everyone’s worn them in the front since like 1992
I’ve had strange looks when I say “crack the shits” or just “crack it”. Take it for granted that everyone uses these terms.
And what would everyone be using these terms to describe?
Pooping? Being tough on crime? Solving a problem? Bullying delinquent children? Or maybe finishing a difficult piece of work.
The phrase “to crack the shits” means when someone gets pushed over the threshold to become angry. Like “I used all the milk and Dad cracked the shits”. Or “None of the students in the class completed their homework so the teacher cracked the shits”. Or “everyone’s going to crack the shits if we don’t get a pay raise this year”.
Ah. So the same as “flipped their shit.”
Yeah that’s a good comparison.
“iut youre”
And what’s with the fucking number signs? That whole comment is a grammatical nightmare.
