RE: British vs American terms - 7/7/2005 12:00:00 PM    DMoore   Posts: 6 Joined: 6/23/2005 Status: offline 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. (in reply to 05LandRover) Post #: 20
