...But I'm sorry, I'd probably make the same mistake. You gotta throw a "bollocks" or "daft" or some other recognizable british slang in there when around us silly, narrow-minded Americans.

And for you Australians, a "gday" or "a dingo ate me baby!" would be nice.

Well, if you ever get confused again...
The Australians are the better-looking ones ;)

When I was living in Scotland I kept getting mistaken for an Aussie or Brummie. Kinda weird getting mixed up between those two when you think about it

But if you did, everyone would know.


What are words or phrases that Americans use that nobody else in the world does?

ya'll
Fo shizzle
What it do?
Heaven's to Betsy (who the hell is "Betsy"?)
Whatup Doc?

You know I'm pretty sure there are more...and yes I've heard people say those and weren't joking...

I'd let you listen to me talk to see, but I don't have skype, and it'd be wierd to get a phone# over a forum...:/

maybe I'll upload a youtube vid later?

I agree.

Definitely do that.

My friends make fun of me ALL of the time for the way I say those words.

Although a good conversation starter, I don't say the things on purpose.

>.< And it's frustrating when I can't get the word in.

I have to spell it.

^_^ I don't know how easy it is to tell that I have an accent just from hearing me.

Maybe it's only certain words/when I get mad.

Who knows?

Maybe I do have an accent.
