The British and Their Sayings…

My Father is British so we have quite a lot of family over in the UK so I may be a little bit more familiar when someone asks to use the ‘Lou’, or tells you that you must be ‘bloody’ joking. Their sayings are quite cute, and because I’m a sucker for the English accent, i LOVE hearing all their interesting expressions and different words that we haven’t a clue what they are saying. So I have a cousin staying with me that arrived last night with a few of her girlfriends and they have just been traveling around the world. They were talking about their experiences and what places they liked and didn’t like and I heard a term I had never heard before but thought it was quite appropriate. Apparently, they did not have as great a time in Fiji as they thought, but that they had to keep in mind that they had been traveling during the ‘credit crunch’. Now picture that in a cute little British accent. The Credit Crunch? We all boring and sad individuals have been calling it the ‘recession’. How lame is that? It’s a sad period of our life and we have to call it something that makes it even more sad. Where as here are the British calling it a credit crunch! Sounds like some kind of cereal!

To my dismay, what do I happen to come across today when i turn on my computer and start looking for t-shirts? The most perfect shirt ever for today….
