    If you're over the age 60, obese, and female you're liable to.

    Do all phone numbers start 555 - something??
    No, that's just a common gimmick that film makers use as opposed to randomly generating eight numbers. I guess they think people might try and prank call any real number they give out.

    Is a cent more than a dime or a quarter or a nickel or a dollar?? That is the money in America.......right??
    "cents" are percents of a dollar. A penny is one, a nickel is five, a dime is ten, and a quarter is twenty-five. A dollar is the full unit.

    1. What is Root beer?
    A type of soda/pop/whatever.
    2. What is a Corn Dog
    A hot dog on a stick with breading. Don't listen to RSL, they're quite good with mustard.
    3. Which sport is more important American Football, basketball or baseball?
    American Football. It consumes people moreso than any sport over here.
    4. What sort of food does Wendys serve?
    Hamburgers, fries, and chicken nuggets. It's pretty much the same menu as McDonald's except slightly more expensive and higher quality. Their spicey chicken sandwiches are pretty much my favorite fast food item.
    5. What is the most popular department store?
    Wal-Mart. Without a doubt.
    6. Do all people in the suburbs really have American flags outside their houses?
    Not usually. Only in times when we're supposed to be patriotic. 9/11, start of the Iraq war, national holidays, etc.
    7.Is the BBC available on cable?
    Yes, on extended cable and satellite channels we receive BBC America, which from what I guess is a horribly watered-down version of the real thing. Basically they show the source of the American recreations, despite the fact that nobody cares anymore. Recently there have been entire marathons of The Weakest Link. Does anyone watch that anymore?

    Do you honestly call the backside a "fanny"?
    It might get thrown in from time to time, particulary when trying to add humor aimed at the younger crowd. Saying it is usually tongue in cheek. Not a common thing at all.

    hominy = grits, right?

    Grits is more of a southern thing. It's like boiled corn meal, and I don't think it's British in origin.

    if anyone else wants to add questions go ahead, also if you yanks want to ask anything for us Brits feel free
    1) A drink. We have it here as well, you know...
    2) Nummy.
    3) None of them, all sports are silly. Though I tend to say football just to wind up all us Brits who get wound up about the terminology of that and soccer xD
    4) Same as McD's, usual kind of thing. Good though. I'd give Wendy a few hours alone with a lobster.
    5) Wal-Star-Mart is the most used, whether it's the most popular or not I dunno.
    6) No, a fair number dp, but it's not even close to 'all'. It's just such a big change from the total absence of them here, aside from when there's some big sports event on. (Ain't that just the pinnacle of patriotism? Nevermind your scientific achievements. Nevermind your standard of living. Nevermind your cultural and social contributions. Nevermind your sheer wealth, Britain. Nevermind having ruled the planet. Oh no, the best reason to be patriotic is... because people born in the same geographical boundries as you can kick a ball better than people who weren't.)
    7) I know you can get BBC World. I don't know if you can get any other channels, though. And I don't know if it's through cable or Sat. It's one of the few things I'll really miss over there... ah well.

    questions for the Brits.
    1. How come you guys refuse to brush your teeth? It's not like it's hard to do.
    2. How come you talk funny?
    3. How come you hate us so much?
    4. Tea isn't that good, guys. C'mon.
    5. Cheerios?

    SEXY McAWESOME TO YOU, MISTER

    1. What is Root beer?
    It's a drink that a lot of people here like, though I don't.
    2. What is a Corn Dog?
    It's a hot dog with a bread-y crust on it, with a think stick shoved through the weiner.
    3. Which sport is more important American Football, basketball or baseball?
    Baseball is our past time, but football is more popular nowadays.
    4. What sort of food does Wendys serve?
    Hamburgers, fries, chicken sandwiches, salads, baked potatoes. All kinds of stuff. Oo! 99 cent chicken nuggets, too.
    5. What is the most popular department store?
    Wal-mart, even though I hate it.
    6. Do all people in the suburbs really have American flags outside their houses?
    No. I live in what people would call the suburbs, and most of the people here do not.
    7.Is the BBC available on cable?
    No.

    1. We do brush our teeth, twice a day so they're nice and spangly
    2. We don't talk funny...you do!
    3. I don't hate you, i don't hate anyone, no matter where they come from!
    4. Teas only good with lots of sugar
    5. A cereal shaped like really small doughnuts but made of wholewheat or something, i don't eat them, they're boring
