I spoke to my boss today about getting more hours at work. She said it would be ok, and she just has to think of something that I can do. I'm supposed to talk to her in the morning when I get there tomorrow.
Went to the bank this morning to deposit my paycheck. I've got about $434 in my account. I'm trying to save up so I can get my computer.
Guess who I was just chatting with? Yep, Peter! We were talking about the differences in the places we live. Like how we have different sayings for different things. (EX: Bar/Pub, Cigarette/Fag.)
Earlier I tried sending him a song but it didn't work. The song was Hello Again by Neil Diamond, I told him that I was dedicating it to him. Muahahahahaha! It's such a corny song. He downloaded it on WinMX and is going to listen to it at work tomorrow. Here's part of the convo we just had about the different terms we both have for things.
Peter says:
Whooshh ... rumble rumble rumble - clonk - rumble rumble rumble rumble - clonk. "Arse".
Melissa - "Once we successfully mated a Bulldog with a Shih Tzu, we called it a Bullshit!" says:
Awwwww
Melissa - "Once we successfully mated a Bulldog with a Shih Tzu, we called it a Bullshit!" says:
*points and laughs*
Peter says:
Oi!!
Melissa - "Once we successfully mated a Bulldog with a Shih Tzu, we called it a Bullshit!" says:
*helps peter back up*
Peter says:
Woohoo!!!
Melissa - "Once we successfully mated a Bulldog with a Shih Tzu, we called it a Bullshit!" says:
*drops bowling ball on foot* OUCH! Done that before
Peter says:
Here's a little thing I was curious about - a point of language. Do you have the word "bollocks" ?
Melissa - "Once we successfully mated a Bulldog with a Shih Tzu, we called it a Bullshit!" says:
Nope
Peter says:
Really?
Melissa - "Once we successfully mated a Bulldog with a Shih Tzu, we called it a Bullshit!" says:
Really
Peter says:
Wow.
Peter says:
Thought that might be the case.
Peter says:
So you've no idea what it means?
Melissa - "Once we successfully mated a Bulldog with a Shih Tzu, we called it a Bullshit!" says:
Shit?
Peter says:
Nooo!!!!
Melissa - "Once we successfully mated a Bulldog with a Shih Tzu, we called it a Bullshit!" says:
lmao
Peter says:
I've got two of them, and you have none. Does that put you in the picture?
Melissa - "Once we successfully mated a Bulldog with a Shih Tzu, we called it a Bullshit!" says:
ohhhhh ok
Melissa - "Once we successfully mated a Bulldog with a Shih Tzu, we called it a Bullshit!" says:
hahaha silly me
Peter says:
More generally, it's a moderately coarse slang word for "nonsense", as in "What a load of bollocks."
Peter says:
Or as a generally derogative retort: "Bollocks!!"
Melissa - "Once we successfully mated a Bulldog with a Shih Tzu, we called it a Bullshit!" says:
There's my lesson for today!
Peter says:
Certainly is! Think of some Canadian that I don't know then! We did "candy suckers" the other day - and I'd definitely get arrested if I asked a woman for that in a shop!
Melissa - "Once we successfully mated a Bulldog with a Shih Tzu, we called it a Bullshit!" says: :P
Melissa - "Once we successfully mated a Bulldog with a Shih Tzu, we called it a Bullshit!" says:
Fun! I'm learning new things from you, and you're learning new things from me!
Peter says:
C'mon - gimme a new word!
Melissa - "Once we successfully mated a Bulldog with a Shih Tzu, we called it a Bullshit!" says:
Hmm........
Melissa - "Once we successfully mated a Bulldog with a Shih Tzu, we called it a Bullshit!" says:
Wait.....doesn't "fag" mean cigarette? Here it
Melissa - "Once we successfully mated a Bulldog with a Shih Tzu, we called it a Bullshit!" says:
It's used to call someone gay.
Peter says:
Yep - I know that one! A fag is a cigarette - definitely not a gay person. We don't really have a non-derogative term for a "gay person". "Queer" is about all we can say, and that's not very nice. Is "fag" considered a bit derogatory?
Peter says:
Do you have "sidewalks" ?
Melissa - "Once we successfully mated a Bulldog with a Shih Tzu, we called it a Bullshit!" says:
Yeah
Peter says:
We have "pavements".
Melissa - "Once we successfully mated a Bulldog with a Shih Tzu, we called it a Bullshit!" says:
I'm trying to think of another word.
Peter says:
We don't really have malls, although it's just beginning to catch on I think. They're still really "shopping centres" here.
Melissa - "Once we successfully mated a Bulldog with a Shih Tzu, we called it a Bullshit!" says:
"Bar" "Pub"
Peter says:
Ah yes, pub!
Peter says:
We don't really have Motels - do you have B&B's ?
Melissa - "Once we successfully mated a Bulldog with a Shih Tzu, we called it a Bullshit!" says:
Yup
Peter says:
Ah.
Melissa - "Once we successfully mated a Bulldog with a Shih Tzu, we called it a Bullshit!" says:
Do you call pants, "trousers"?
Peter says:
Definitely! We wear our pants inside our trousers!!!
Melissa - "Once we successfully mated a Bulldog with a Shih Tzu, we called it a Bullshit!" says:
We just say pants
Melissa - "Once we successfully mated a Bulldog with a Shih Tzu, we called it a Bullshit!" says:
Sweater time! Goosebumps on my arms.
Peter says:
"Pants" is another less vulgar synonym for "nonsense" than bollocks; "a load of pants." Also means more "useless" than nonsense.
Peter says:
Goosepimples!
Peter says:
Sweater -> Jumper
Peter says:
Glider -> Sailplane, roughly I think.
Peter says:
Candy -> sweets
Peter says:
although we have "candy floss" - spun sugar.
Melissa - "Once we successfully mated a Bulldog with a Shih Tzu, we called it a Bullshit!" says:
I think that's called cotton candy here
Peter says:
Sucker -> lollipop
Peter says:
Sounds about right.
Peter says:
Trash -> rubbish
Melissa - "Once we successfully mated a Bulldog with a Shih Tzu, we called it a Bullshit!" says:
Speaking of sucker! I'm sucking on a lemon one!
Peter says:
Wooooooohoooo! Lucky sucker!
