The sidewalk is the part that you would walk on. The curb is the raised edge of concrete...you know, where you would park you vehicle against or sometimes run up on if you cut a corner too closely while driving. Curb check!

Ah. We here in Manchester refer to the entire pavement as a curb.

uninhabited, hostile and meaningless universe. Still, you've got to laugh, haven't you?"

Shame that I'll be moving there soon.
I don't know how, but "bugger it" and "puckernuts" have crept into my vocabulary. My mom and dad were stationed in Oxford during the sixties..she tells me of a bit of confusion with the definitions of the word fanny. Here in the USA, it means one's rear end, caboose, tail, butt..Arse in other words. In Britain, it apparently means something exclusively feminine, and a bit more intimate.
So telling someone that she'd been sitting on her fanny all day, and boy was it tired, made the Brits laugh, and the Americans wonder what the Brits were laughing about.
Veni, veni, venias, Ne me mori facias, Gloriosa, Generosa (Come come oh, come, Don't let me die, Glorious, Noble).
I didn't write it, Captain Hamish bloody Blair did.Thanks for that slice of "poetry".

I didn't say you were the author, I simply thanked you for bringing it to my attention.

Oh, I was watched scary movie 2 (i think) and this guy was saying 'watch my fanny' it really confuddled me, because, well, he's a guy, and now I understand it.Here in the USA, it means one's rear end, caboose, tail, butt.
She DOES sound like a right swinger!
me being an american, a big girls blouse rings no bells at all. unlike wanker which i find really fun to use, but anyways, no, i've never heard of someone being called a big girl's blouse before.
Being wise comes in two parts: 1) having a lot to say and 2) not saying it.
Thanks to Starry Relm and Sphere for the Sig and Avatar (in their respecive order)
i heard that in america they don't say (SPOILER)wanker and that it dosn't mean anything....
in the UK its pretty rude. which is why i spoiler tagged it.
very rude!
