Can we talk pacificly about the specific?

[Dragontao]

That's not an Americanism it's just people being thick. Plenty of people in this country say Pacific instead of specific.

We were laughing about it at work the other day because a colleague had received a letter from another company in which someone was asking for the "Pacifics of the contract". Now saying it is thick, actually writing it makes you a grade A moron.

She was tempted to reply saying "we're oceans apart with regard to agreeing a contract" lol.

Just thought I'd say that not all Americanisms are bad, I've always liked the word 'doofus' for some reason

[styles]

Probably because you've been called it all your life eh? 

[harv]

So predictable...

Doofus

Been working with a new girl recently who is American.. some of the things she says are really quite annoying..."rest-rooms" instead of toilet.. "deepoh" instead of depot and don't get me started on aluminium...

...but I was astounded that she didn't know what a "Mr. Whippy" or "a 99" were the other day.. then I said "soft scoop" and she cottoned on..  .. they don't sell Flakes over in the US/Canada either which I was a bit surprised about,.. their ice cream vans must be crap!!!  Maybe apart from an oyster.. nothing beats a 99 with a flake.. ok maybe a double 99 with 2 flakes.. lol
