FabSwingers.com forum: Colloquial stumbling blocks

What impact does your use of colloquial terms or practices have in communicating or engaging with others on Fab?

Do you use any terms that others perhaps wouldn't have a clue about?

Some American friends constantly refer to their posteriors as a fanny. This could go horribly wrong!

Please explain your strange local ways to break down barriers!

I know a lot of non Geordies who get annoyed by unnecessary use of the word like... One video chat with me and I've fucked it with that one. X

And that in itself has an episode including the hilarious misunderstanding of meaning...I am referring of course to the "dogging" conversation

In answer to the OP, being from the Home Counties my dialect/local slang doesn't really cause any problems...

...as for the other way round, I'm fascinated by linguistics/dialect and the way the language has developed so love learning new phrases and sayings etc
