And if we heard that our "mate got run over by a laurie while heading to the loo"....we would be upset that our lover got run over by some girl named Laurie...while he or she was going to meet up with some guy named Lou. Lol... We don't call trucks Lauries either. Ha ha... I used to live in England though...although...there are some slang words that you guys use that I don't pick up on these days. Either they weren't used in the part of England that I lived in...or they are new words that I am not familiar with since it was many years ago that I lived there. For instance, I had never heard "chuffed" before I came on this forum.
