they have those roundabouts in washington, dc (not many, most have a monument in them such as George Washington riding a horse) kinda hard to get around when you are used an intersection.

Roundabout-Sudden death
Shaggin' a bird-you'll have to figure this one out on your own..
Nackered-tired/really tired
desk-a recording studio control board,what we just call the" board"
wanker-dumb ass
double enda(er)-you'll again have to get this one on your own(I don't want to get kicked out)
Knob-(yeah,think about it)
Motor-a car

I'm in a band and my producer is British,he recorded Bowie,Iron Maiden,Queen,etc.So I get alot of this every day,I just moved to Atlanta from 100 miles away so I could record more with less driving and I bought a house in his neighborhood.
There are alot of different dialects in the U.K. but they all sound funny when they say "Poo",I don't know why.

If you're interested the band is here....myspace.com/godlovestragedy

Well, I live in NJ and we have a LOT of circles here. Can't say they are all that good for congestion in many cases, however...

How about these:

British/American

Fag/Cigarette
Boot/Trunk
Cheers/Thanks, bye, cheers
Bloody Hell/Many meanings in American

I also picked up some good ones in Australia:

Breakie/Breakfast
Cheers/Same as above
Sunnies/Sunglasses

I'll go now...cheers!

I live in a relatively small town in the US (Pop 200K or so) and they have started building those in the city here. I expect more wrecks until people get used to them but they do seem to make alot of sense. I have a good friend here that is from the UK and my favorite one that he has come up with is "bum a fag"! I almost fell out when he said that the first time. Of course, that means borrow a cigarette.
