The Lemon Fool

American-ism lost on British? Or rather lost on me.

This morning, i received a email newsletter from a USA software developer whose software I use. To quote the opening paragraph:

"It's a new year, with new, fresh ideas. It's also cold outside and I'm still not wearing any pants. I'm not the only one. The annual No Pants Day was celebrated on January 13. While I appreciate the gesture, these people are frauds. They do it for one day a year. I do it every day! I'm keeping it real!"

My British mind is inclined to think 'too much information'.

Roll on no pants and no trousers day. Hopefully it'll give us wimmin' something to laugh about.

"Don't wear a thong.... Our aim is to make people laugh, not piss them off."

Am I the only one who finds this concatenation of words a teensy bit awkward?

Australian for flip flops?

One that tickled me was some american scout leaders I was talking to, who describe the type of camp where you load everything in the car and park very close to where you're camping to unload everything (as opposed to a backpacking camp and so on) as a "plop camp". Childish I know but...they said "plop"! Tee-hee!

I fear your cheerleading voice would be drowned by the voices of Offence!
