How to Speak like a Brit Part I

I've picked up a couple things while I've been here that are really good sayings and words. I figured I'd enlighten my American friends on how to speak proper English rather then the mish mash of stuff we speak in the states. I'm going to do a couple of these so I don't bored you beyond belief with everything.

Queue = a line of people, cars, anything really. Brits know how to do this better then anyone in the world I'm going to guess.

Quid = Money.

Rubbish = Garbage

Zebra Crossing = Cross Walk

Lorry = Truck, Juggernaut = Semi Truck

Banger = sausage or a junker of a car

Till = where you pay for your stuff at

Motorway = Freeway

Hash Sign = #

Mack = Raincoat

Minger = Someone who's ugly

Offy = Liquor Store

Pushchair = Stroller
