Tee shirt help

I have two ideas for a type tee (it wont be submitted as a slogan because they'll be too long) and I could do with some help.

My first idea will be called english to english, the idea is to translate north american english into British english and vice versa.

I need some help coming up with the translations but it would basically take this form:

Flashlight - Tourch
ATM - Cash machine
Truck - lorrie

and so on.

The other idea is alot harder, I want to construct a paragraph/sentence using the most complicated vocalbulary in the english dictionary. It has to make sense and needs to use a minimum of simple words.

If they get printed I'll give out prizes (meaning I'm tired and cant work out what I'll give out right now), I'd promise street team points for taking part but I really dont buy tees that often.

thanks for the help.

I'm a Brit and I'm well confused.

We say ATM and cash machine

Truck, lorry and wagon

Neither popsicle nor icy pole (do you mean ice pop?)

A garage and a shed are two different things.

Ayup, lad, dust tha know nowt abaht proper English?

I've never heard anyone say ATM, popsicle would probably be ice lollie as for truck when they say it they mean a lorrie, well sort of these things are huge, driving down the highway with an 18 wheeler pulling to carts is bloody scary espeically when its trying to over take.

I used to be able to type the regional accent really easily but I've just spent the past 4 months in canada in an area where you rarely get anyone but canadians and before that almost all my friends were american exchange students so I've sort of forgot.

ciggarettes = homosexuals

stubby43 on Dec 29 '07 at 5:43pm

when we say a fag we mean a ciggertte and north americans mean homosexuals.

Because, Evan, smoking makes you want the cock real bad.

Or the vag, based upon where you're starting from...
