    Who here saw Chloe before?? In that thing Ex on the Beach? See I did! So I know her already. She's a drama queen who loves being the centre of attention. Can't remember who said it last night on C-BBOTS, but they were right. She'll create anything to make sure the camera is on her and it's all centred around her.

    Oh and I agree OP, I was getting so PISSED OFF with the 'pissed' thing. I kept thinking 'why do you keep saying you're drunk, idiot?'!

    As bad as the americanisms are at least they don't drop their G's off of words like jumping and swimming. To hear the voice of Big Brother do this gets on my wick.

    Another one I've noticed now is 'knocked the door'... has the 'on' been omitted all over England? Or is it a Northern thing?? :/

    In Aussie we drink 'piss' (beer) and get 'sh*it faced' (drunk/pissed). She should have just said she was sh*t faced - or would that be derogatory to Alicia.

    I have often said "i'm pissed" as in pissed off, for years.
    I didn't realize it was an American thing.

    No-one in Brighton says I'm pissed unless they are talking about alcohol consumption.

    It is. Now young people (and Patsy) use it in this country. I resolutely never will. ^_^
    I'm also not about to start saying 'I could care less' when the intended meaning is it's direct opposite.
    It's bad enough people here saying 'I ain't done nothing wrong.' WRONG. Yes you have. That sentence for a start.

    I'm off for a cuppa. ^_^

    American slang is in common usage in Essex? :o

    Well I'll go to the foot of our stairs and sit on me fanny. :D

    Owww. The dancing must make you very limber.

    I'm disconcerted by the 'fanny pack'.

    They keep them in a pack?!

    I didn't even know you could run out...

    Quick call the grammar Police !! (Lol)

    I totally agree with all these remarks, also when did people start saying "Genterman" instead of Gentlemen? i.e Ladies and Genterman. Sounds stupid.

    I have often said I've pissed my pants, over the years,

    I didn't realise I was meant to be saying, "I have pissed in my trousers".

    How embarrassed I was, when I realised my mistake (and what they must have thought!)...

    Presumably your pants under your trousers have got a dousing too, that's if you weren't going commando.

    Mostly, I like to wear my pants over my trousers, so it tends to be okay.

    I've noticed, here in Essex, my friends appear to omit 'to the' when saying ' I'm going to the toilet'. ' im going toilet' makes no sense. I've never heard of 'knocked the door' either and I'm a Northener. Just laziness in my opinion.

    It's good look, and I imagine would save you the hassle of wearing new ones everyday.

    Its mostly a question of getting the balance right. :D That and lots of leg stretches to keep them flexible so you can get them behind your ears. :D:D:D

    ...Does it really matter though when you all knew exactly what she meant?

    That's the whole point - I totally misunderstood and misconstrued the conversation for quite a while. It was ambiguous - I was thinking 'well she doesn't seem that drunk to me'.

    I hope that British people aren't starting to refer to maths as 'math'. Just a random thought I had that tied in to this thread. :blush:

    Yes, I'm baffled why the Brits are lowering themselves to USAisms. I sent most of Chloe's rant wondering why she didn't seem that DRUNK to me; then Katie, eating her morning Cornflakes, claimed also to be very drunk; then Patsy--speaking to Other Brits--said the same! Maybe these HMs should be in the USA Version? Good riddance, frankly. But Michelle speaks fluent British English as she KNOWS where she is!

    Lowering themselves? Wow that's really offensive.

    Maybe they're just not xenophobic and/or closed minded.
    FYI there is no Celebrity version of BB but if there was the celebrities would be playing for charity and not to line their own pockets.

    That one REALLY annoys me! Especially when it comes from reasonably intelligent people that should know better. >:(
