There must be UK-specific 1337speak, eh? I'm sure I'd be P4N75 at it.

American English equivalent?

Pants (P4N75) is British slang for bad.

Wack would be an equivalent American slang term.

In British, Pants = underwear. What Americans refer to as pants (jeans, kakhi's) the British refer to as trousers.

I know I'll be dating myself here, but I visited a school in the interior of Panama, near David, that was using the lyrics of Abba songs to teach English.

Pooh! *sweat* Difficult.

I'm nothing special in fact I'm a bit of a bore
if I tell a joke you've probably heard it before
but I have a talent a wonderful thing
'cause everyone listens when I start to sing *


¡hasta luego! :o)


* Taken from Abba - Thank you for the music

niche. First came into my mind "I know quiche". Whats a niche? English dictionary: niche -Nische (german). Than i had a look in a French dictionary. Et voilà. niche (french) means niche (engl) or Nische (german).

Not to mix it up with:

dernier d'une nichée (pet of the family)

Whats a niche? In this case, the 2nd or 3rd definition here:

I am an English major.

Some might say I'm E minor. Probably chord of the seventh.

But what does I am an English major mean? He joins the army? Or what?

An English major is someone who is getting a university degree in the study of English. People will often major in a certain field of study and minor in a complimentary field. It just describes what type of degree he is getting.

The 2nd time I reed 1337. Ieet?

Yes, 1337 = leet = elite (the actual word).

herzouse

Bluebird just got a house. If we apply a standard "iz" transformation then it becomes "hizouse" (see also: fo shizzle). But Bluebird is a lady so it's her house, or rather: herzouse.

If the house is masculine, perhaps we can call it Herr Haus.

looks like we're hitting dekalb.

Dekalb is a city in north central Illinois. By hitting it, the Redacted One means that they intend to play a show there.

Please improve my British English:

What sort of 'a' does "Cornish Pastie" have?

'a' as in hasty?
'a' as in sand?
'a' as in castle?

Hmm, that would be a good band name: "Hasty Sand Castle"

The answer is yes - depending on where in Britan you were, different dialects and all....

Typically, it would be 'a' as in hasty. Like the word pastry, without the 'r'.

Pastie means something completely different in the U.S.
