oh blimey.here packey is a racist word. bad bad word.*nods*
Oh No! Didn't mean to offend anybody! Actually learned the term in college. According to my roomates from Mass., it means "The Package Store" and it reffers to beer runs! Anyone from Massechusettes knows what I'm talkin' about. "Who's makin a packey run?" #cheers# That's all...

hahaha i heard that "fanny" meant butt on your side of the pond, but i didnt believe anyone!! i thought they were all having me on "having me on" means lying.... crikey!!! lol, and gelfing is right in what she said btw. not sure where the word flange comes from though, ive used it a few times only because it makes me laugh, and the word minge makes me laugh too.

Okay, now it is making sense to me. . . I had heard that Europeans were offended by these: because we call these "fanny packs". I can see how that would be pretty absurd. #haha#

hahaha yeah thats craaaazy Imagine coming to europe and saying "hey nice fanny pack " im sure you would be arrested within minutes for sexual harrassment.... or at least beaten up HAHA we call them "bumbags" and no one likes them. the fact is, in europe, the only people that wear bumbags are 47 year old local wierdos that still live with thier mums. even children are likely to get the crap taunted out of them if they are caught with a bumbag. and that goes to prove my point. you americans are so uncool. LOL

You are right. They aren't very popular here either. They enjoyed a brief period of fame in the 1980's, but I would have to say that they you might get beat up for one of those here in the U.S. also
A bumbag - that's great! Any other words or phrases we should know? ? ?
>>>Thanks for the explanation of BOO YAR<<<

lol errm, "bottom" for bum, we say "arse" instead of ass. and "barsterd" is actually the posh way of saying "bastard" us southern brits say "barsterd" and when we say it, we mean "illegitimate child" lol northerners say "bastard" which i suppose could be offensive but also considered somewhat abit sexy in some cases. i'll have to teach you guys the pronounciations of these at the vigil lol
and in essex, where i come from we say things like "Dogs bollocks"(great) "Donkeys bollocks" (amazing) NOWHERE ELSE IN BRITAIN DOES IT HAVE THE SAME MEANING. hahahahaha brilliant isnt it?!
we also say "you've got breath" which means "your breath smells"
okay i cant sit here and write all our slang and colloquial terms out for you but heres a great website i just found that has every slangism and colloquilism you'd ever need if you wanted to fit right in here lol.

have fun and good luck!

Anyway fanny packs, bumbags, In Italy we call it marsupio, wich literally translated is marsupium.

Yeah while the Donkey & Dog's bollocks are good, bollocks on there own are very bad. As illustrated by Robbie Carlyle & Samuel L. Blackson in the 51st State (awful movie). Then again, being described as looking like the 'dog's dinner' isn't good either.

To have a nail fixed in the head - that mean to be fixated on something or someone.
To close the beak - we use this frequently and mean to shut up
You are a bischero - This is from Tuscany but it is used in all the Italy and it men - you are a jerk/ you are a stupid person
Add straw to the fire - to tempt fate
New from the mint - brand new
Tonight we are only four cats - tonight we are only a few people
He is a cork - very short guy
Throw a trash can at someone - to stand someone up on a date or appointment
You are all salt and pepper - when a people is lively, cheerful

I wasn' really following this thread but bumcakes, I swear Charles's not lying! #yahoo_shame# And in Slovenia we call these bags "banana" too! Where I live in Slovenia, on the italian border, we call it also marsupio as in Italy, we use quite some italian words in our dialect... I'll maybe post some slovenian expressions later, if I think of any that are not here already...
