That's great!

I always refer hubby to Urban Dictionary when he doesn't understand slang I say.

Good example..

I was explaining to him the other day that it's impossible to eat 5 Jacob's Cream Crackers without a drink. Later on, he said he had a mouthful of Jacob's. I nearly fell off my chair laughing and had to explain to him that Jacob's is also slang for balls.

He thinks I make these things up!

#######/cockle

affectionate term used in Northern England, similar to love or darling. "Are you alright, #######?"

Whoa, you British are something else. :blink:

:P

(I'm going to ask my husband tonight, "Are you alright, #######?" Hopefully I'll be looking at his face when I say it) :lol:

Jacob's Crackers=knackers

oh rhyming slang?

It all becomes clear now. I personally wouldn`t use that one though, too brand specific for me.
