      So, I was playing over on a mostly British site I stumbled onto...it's a hoot BTW... Mainly a group of ladies who met on a wedding planning site...drinking tea in the afternoon & getting pleasantly smashed in the evenings...when I came across this post:
 
  I'm soooo ashamed! So, I missed me time & as I was just recently fitted with the coil, I was afraid it would get stuck in the baby's 'ead. So, I went into the loo at work & must've not closed the door properly, when one of the ladies opened the door only to find me foot on the loo with me 'and up me foof & now she's told 'alf the office that I was in there for a diddle! I LMFAO after I converted it from British to Texan...oh my!   
So how many of you can easily convert regional colloquialisms & vernacular into American-speak? And how hard is it for our foreign friends?

      I hate to admit it, but I caught myself reading her post in a very bad Monty Pythonesque accent...which just made it even funnier to me...
