In reply to: clr 's message, "Ok, totally not Harm/JAG but I need help. I'm reading some British fanfic and there're words I can't get (can guess from context but). If some kind Brit would translate for me. I'll take it inside and leave my addy so we don't take up too much board space. Thanks!" on 13:34:10 02/23/13 Sat

[> [> a git is an ill-mannered, thoughtless person; a snoggle must be a wet kiss of some kind; a jumper is a sweater -- mj, 10:20:38 02/24/13 Sun [1]

[> [> I am a Brit, albeit a displaced one. Snogging means necking or kissing in the romantic sense. You wouldn't snog a friends or family. . As mj said, a git is not a nice person, but calling someone a git is really rude. As Chris said, Sod is not a nice word, but it is very mild and wouldn't raise any eyebrows. I use it all the time, as in "I'm sodding off now," instead of "I'm going." Mild correction for Chris, lorry (or truck) is spelt with 2 Rs, not like the girl's name. Chris is also right with Pram, a short form for the very old term, Perambulator, (something you push as you walk.) -- Cece, 15:44:25 02/24/13 Sun [1]

[> [> I'd have to know the context of "snipes." My understanding of "snipes" is sharp, annoying, verbal jabs, like nagging. But it might mean something different in local British vernacular. -- Cece, 15:48:54 02/24/13 Sun [1]

What do you think about any possible new Star Wars movie, people? Are you excited about the new Star Wars movie being planned soon??? I am not totaly sure about Disney directing it, but then again it could be great. I guess its cool that the franchise will continue to re-invent itself. I have been a big fan since the original trilogy. Cant wait to see a possible episode 7. Agree / disagree?
