Luckily I have not been caught out in any major blunders yet, though it will happen sooner or later I am sure.
Thong - not something worn on the feet in the USA (they are flipflops) but rather a piece of underwear aka G-String
Biscuits - Scones - Come in a can in the fridge at store, smack tin on kitchen counter til it pops open then bake for 15 mins. MMMMMM yummo !
Cookies - Biscuits
Shopping Trolley - Shopping Cart
Milk - does not go in coffee .. Creamer does - Comes in flavoured bottles in the fridge at the grocery store.
Note : Creamer is addictive, especially the Cinnamon one !
Aluminium Foil - Aluminum. Somehow they dropped a syllable here.
Food Servings - are HUGE. I am trying to remember to order a kids meal when I am out in a Fast Food place. Or a snack serve.
Transporting a cat from Australia - Is an interesting experience. And expensive. It costs more to send a cat one way than a human both ways. And then said cat arrives at "nearest" airport, a 3 hour drive away, but once we get there she can't be brought home, as the US Dept of Agriculture didn't rubber stamp her entry to Los Angeles. So a 3 hour drive home, no cat, to turn about and do it all again the next day. And pay $50 for her to be boarded overnight. Now cat is in a total mood with her humans, Shredded one of us, shat in the bathtub, and is currently on solitary confinement upstairs til she gets more calm. Though she did suspend hostilities to eat some Turkey from the Man earlier today.
lol at the word differences :)
ReplyDeleteIt will take time to get used to it I am sure.
:O no milk in coffee? :O
mmm food
:O I thought animals had to be in quarantine for a bit ?
lol she will settle soon :D xx
No quarantine coming in from Aus as we don't have rabies and I had her vaccinated and all her other shots up to date when she left.
ReplyDeleteHad she come from some other countries it would have been different.
Creamer is the bomb... Australia needs to learn about it ! MMMMM
LOL send some over ;)
