Hi everyone,
I just picked up a 76 Cb550 four from my brother in-law father. Need some TLC. This forum has been very helpful and I hope to pick the brain cells from you peeps in the future. Thanks

Welsome shiftredline. Stick around for another few days and I'm sure these guys will get into both Cockney accent origins and Ebonics 101.

Why would someone snack on a parakeet while typing?

Gordon · « **Reply #14 on:** January 06, 2006, 05:25:58 PM »

Maybe he meant a budgie butty.

Uncle Ernie · « **Reply #15 on:** January 06, 2006, 07:22:16 PM »

We need an English to English dictionary- I forgot what a butty is.

A few words of warning to anyone visiting the States from the U.K.

1) Never ask the waitress if their "butties" are any good

2) Never ask where you can find some "fags"

And especially don't ask someone if you can "bum a fag"!

And never, but never, ask for a loan of a rubber (pencil eraser) in a church like my young brother did many years ago. He soon discovered, much to his embarrasment, that in the US rubbers are for preventing mistakes - not erasing them after.

No fish and chip shops here.

On another forum some time ago, we were discusing the best chippy in town when an American by the name of Gerry from LA joined in and told us, a Chippy in LA is a cheap lady of the night.

Not much of a firework display anyway Sam. But it is good to know roughly where peeps are from.

Having said that even in the UK peeps can have different meanings. It became popular in the 80's when a comedian used it often "ello peeps". In Scotland it is sometimes used as part of an expression of surprise "Jeezy peeps" this expression is often used along with "Jings crivens, help ma boab" for more shock surprise.

Gordon · « **Reply #29 on:** January 08, 2006, 05:46:37 AM »

Peeps has a couple of different meanings here in the states. Of course there's the common usage meaning "people", but then there's the more delicious version!

Oh, and there's plenty of fish and chip places here in Denver, but so far only two that I've found are any good.
