So, of course, I quickly scribbled ‘naughty’ on my list of things to be said to me by him. Now I solicit from you, Doper Women (and Men if Male British Accents do for you what they do for me), Swoonable Words.
Don’t know if they’re “swoonable”, but words like bath, glass, sure are good for highlighting some of the differences between American and English accents. Are you going to ask him straight out to repeat these words, or is it worth the effort to dream up some words that you’ll struggle to try and work into conversation?
I just met a British guy that a friend of mine has been babbling about last night. They were telling me about a party at the friend’s apartment, next door to which lives the British guy. Apparently at said party a bunch of people had seized upon sidewalk chalk and drew naughty pictures in front of both apartments. Hearing British Guy say “giant chalk penis” was strangely exciting.
Trust me, I am engaged to a British man and “toast” makes me swoon every time. Too bad it is so hard to work “toast” and “naughty” into the same sentence, 'cause that would be delicious.
I am going to have to try hedgehog. Just the thought of him saying that made me laugh.
Which is good, because I thought of another. “If I may be so bold as to suggest…” and then have him suggest something. I think this phrase would kick ass if a British guy said it.
Some words I love hearing British people say are;

[li]aluminum (sp?)[/li][li]lorry[/li][li]isn’t[/li][li]Afganistan[/li][li]advertisment[/li][/ul]
So what happens after the swooning?
