> [@Sampiro](#): > > My understanding is that Brits indeed call cigarettes faggots, while what we call an elevator they call a “fudgepacker” and what we call the “trunk” and “hood” of the car they call the “diesel dyke” and “pig-bottom-boy” respectively. All true; also, a traditional British greeting, when meeting someone for the first time is to slap them on both cheeks and ask “May I fuck your mother’s dog?” ---

If memory serves it’s the story of a Victorian rentboy who yearns for a respectable country house in which to receive his fellow literary salon members and make sepia toned pornography. It starred Brit pornstars Nigel Totalbottom, Miles Long-Beater, Cecil von Rimm and of course Denholm Elliot and Helena Bonham-Carter. ---

> [@GorillaMan](#): > > **Sampiro** , you forgot the rug-muncher which we clean our floors with!!! For goodness sake… Nothing sucks like a rug-muncher. One subtle distinction between North American and British English which has led to some amusing misunderstandings is that on this side of the Atlantic, “momentarily” means “in a moment,” while over there it means “lubricated and inserted rectally.” I’ll never forget the look on my buddy from Bristol’s face when our waiter informed us that our calamari would be “served momentarily.” Priceless. ---

Um, would it be silly of me to ask what meaning “doody” has? Apart from being the name of the family, that is, as I surmise from the replies that there is another meaning involved. ---

> [@the chicken of exeter](#): > > faggot is a food item. which i have never seen, despite living in the UK for 19 years. > fag is a cigarette. Actually, it’s quite likely that you have seen them- it means big meatball. They are unlikely to be marketed under the name “faggot”, however. Now I known how linguaphiles in the early 20th century must have felt about “gay” and “queer”.
