RE: UKNM: UK Slang

[Bunder, Leslie]

Interesting to discuss the issue of Net slang in the Uk and does it

differ from that of the US????


Methinks UK Net users tend to use the same slang.  I can't recall any

different slang apart from "bloody hell local phone calls in the UK are

so expensive!"


So that would be BHLPINUKASE


This is a real tricky question, so seriously I would also be keen to

know if there are certain Net slang used in the UK that is not used in

the US.


And then of course we have the issue of is there such a thing as US West

Coast Net slang versus US East Coast Net slang!
