10 First World War slang words we still use today

That was an interesting post, brother. And yes, we are divided from the British in the use of our common language, for sure. I remember in 2004 when we hung out for a week with the British Royal Marine Band at the military tattoo in Norfolk. The slang words they used were bizarre to us, and their pronunciation of well-known words as well. When I tried talking to them about the Canterbury Tales, some of them spent about 5 minutes trying to get me to pronounce Canterbury the way they did (when I first said it, they didn't even know what I meant). I remember one guy from a northern region of England, maybe Northumberland but I can't remember for sure, who spoke so quickly and with such an accent that I never understood what he was trying to tell me, not once. No matter how many times I asked him to repeat it.

I just posted this as well after following a link in another article. Yours looks prettier than mine, though. I need to learn how to link properly.

Thank you for the word share.
