on a lighter note...

Hey Doug, you have to remember our across the pond members call to go take away. We may all speak a form of the English language but our word, word phrases and definitions don't always mean the same.:cool::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Just a couple examples:

Knock me up
British: come visit
American: get me pregnant

Give me a ring
British: call me
American: I want to get married
Luister nou fokken mooi = universal :ROFLMAO:

I know why the 243 is blurred
It's because the woman portraying the 35 Whelen is far better looking as it should be.
That's the reason people buy a 243 because the have trouble with their eyes and they are tearing up because they know they are settleing on something inferior.

Yeah, I know. It's kind of like someone my age having a conversation with someone in their twenties. We're separated by a common language.

Effeminate American men carry = A Fanny Pack
European Weird men carry = A bum bag

Either way, its still pretty gay.

My actual favorite though when it comes to a completely abused language:

Brits saying Brilliant in a sentence: "Making that left turn back then was absolutely brilliant!". Translation, you literally saved us two minutes on the roads.

American teacher using brilliant in a sentence: "Your child is brilliant, we recommend you sell your home and possessions so they can fulfill their destiny at Princeton".


(FYI brits...if an American says something is brilliant, it means something, when you say it its a synonym for adequate)
 
In Zimbabwe 40 years ago, I was perplexed by the term "just now" which means later.

I was born in California as were my parents and all.of my grandparents. We referred to ourselves as "Natives" to that state. Do not ask a Boer if he doesn't s a native. It will.not go over well.

I was really surprised to hear what they meant by the term "fanny." Don't say it in polite company. Here it means "butt." There it means a slightly different part of the female anatomy.

Hello Doug,
I am Philippe from France and plan to go hunting Caprivi in 2026, Oct.
I have read on AH you had some time in Vic Falls after hunting. May I ask you with whom you have planned / organized the Chobe NP tour and the different visits. (with my GF we will have 4 days and 3 nights there)
Thank in advance, I will appreciate your response.
Merci
Philippe

Hi Walden. Good morning from England, Chris here (The Englishman!) from Croatia. Firstly it was a pleasure to meet you and Michelle - a fellow Sanderson! I have finally joined AH as I enjoy it very much. Glad you enjoyed the hunt and your write up which I read on AR was very good indeed. I am sending on WhatsApp pics from Bojan of some of the animals hunted recently. Take care and best regards. CS.
