Re: [DMCForum] Walt's lovely new hand-built engine



Nancy means the same thing on both sides of the pond, however, between 
good friends, calling someone you blatantly know isn't gay, a poof, 
nancy, trouser-twitcher or whatever is just another way of saying
"idiot"...

Fag has probably the largest difference in meaning. However, there are 
those words which work the other way such as Randy or Spunk, see 
http://www.english2american.com/ which is a really funny read, if you're 
bored.

BTW whilst in Houston earlier this year, in a crowded shop (store), I 
momentarily forgot where I was and accused my friend of "having breath 
that smelt as if he'd been chewing fag butts all night".

PS

mate n. Your mates are your good friends; your buddies. I understand 
that the derivation is maritime (from "shipmate") rather than carnal. I 
don't know about everyone else but in my case they're probably the last 
people I'd consider mating with.
