British English Q&A for Harry Potter Fandom. Discussing Dracos tea habits since 2003. I'd like to mention a few common Britpicks which people probably won't ask about on here, because they aren't even aware that there's a problem. Another is the use of American "soft" cider. In the UK cider is an alcoholic drink by definition, often *very* alcoholic. American soft cider would here just be called apple juice. Posted on Jun. 24th, 2015 at 08:08 am.

Its a British thing. For better or worse, the end of an era. May 23rd, 2013 at 9:47 AM. And I dont know how I feel, really. Mugglenet has announced that theyre closing the Chamber of Secrets forums this summer, probably some time in July, due to inactivity. The nostalgic part of me is all, Awww. To love that character, you arent. Hes mean and he threatened to poison a toad,. Dont you know that? And then they got all. banny.

British English Q&A for Harry Potter Fandom. Discussing Dracos tea habits since 2003. Might George Weasley end a sentence with an interrogative "yeah? I have him telling someone "I’ll have her call you, yeah? ETA: Sorry if I'm beating a dead horse, but George does use "yeah" from time to time in canon. For example:. Oh, get out of the way, Percy,' said Fred, 'Harry's in a hurry.'. We won't be seeing you,' Fred told Professor Umbridge, swinging his leg over his broomstick. Thank you, dorsetgirl. Ring is m...

need a specific type of insult - British English Q&A for Harry Potter Fandom

British English Q&A for Harry Potter Fandom. Discussing Dracos tea habits since 2003. Need a specific type of insult. Hello oh helpful ones! I am in need of an insult which also has a meaning of "penis". In American English someone could be called a prick or a dickhead or a weenie, but I don't know if those are used in British English. I don't want to have someone actually call someone else this (it's more of a joke of "are you calling me a? Any help is appreciated! Maybe knob or cock would work. Of some...

Fairy tales and pumpkins - British English Q&A for Harry Potter Fandom
http://hp-britglish.livejournal.com/621332.html
British English Q&A for Harry Potter Fandom. Discussing Dracos tea habits since 2003. Fairy tales and pumpkins. In British English, when you talk about Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, etc., do you refer to them as fairy tales. As an American (who grew up with fairy tales) I vaguely got it in my head that British English uses a different term than I do, but maybe this is one of those instances where Im overcorrecting! Second question, are pumpkins native to/traditionally grown in the UK? As an aside, we used...

incarceration, part 2 - British English Q&A for Harry Potter Fandom

British English Q&A for Harry Potter Fandom. Discussing Dracos tea habits since 2003. Incarceration, part 2. A million (okay: a little more than five) years ago I wrote in asking about jails, prisons, and how long you spend in them before you're tried. Yes, it's been five years, but I'm thinking about getting back to this thing, and I found the old post (yay! What I still can't tell if I know is this: how long can they normally hold you before they have to formally charge you with something or let you go?

"Heavy Weather" and children's shoes - British English Q&A for Harry Potter Fandom
http://hp-britglish.livejournal.com/623446.html
British English Q&A for Harry Potter Fandom. Discussing Dracos tea habits since 2003. Heavy Weather" and children's shoes. Hello again, everyone. Ive got a couple more questions Id like to put out there, if I may. First, in a British movie set in the 30s, one character tells another shes making rather heavy weather of it. Is that an expression Harry might use, or is it too old fashioned? Trainers, or something else? As always, thanks for all your help! Tags: children and infants. To make heavy weather of...

British English Q&A for Harry Potter Fandom. Discussing Dracos tea habits since 2003. I've been wondering about the expression "you lot." I realize it's you (plural) and, I think, informal, but I'm curious about the tone it conveys. It's struck me as mildly dismissive - perhaps humorously so - whenever I've come across it, but maybe that's more to do with context. Can "you lot" be used neutrally? ETA: Thanks very much, everyone. This was interesting and informative, as always. YQdFwh4UC&pg=PA1064&lpg=PA1...
