View Full Version : Gator checking in!
Hello all,
I found this place by reading an article on the main page about fire pistons. (Great website btw.) Well, after looking further I found this forum too. I recognized a few names and decided to register. (Hi Hoodoo, Sargey, Tony, Ditchfield, Jack, Rappleby, Chad and company)
I'm GATOR just about everyplace except Ezboard where I'm CaimanGator.
A little about myself: I'm late 20's single with a big dog (rottweiler). I've been happier in the woods for about as long as I can remember. Whether I'm fishing, or hiking, or mountain biking it sure beats sitting in an office. :wink: I'm located in Southwest Florida pretty close to the Florida Everglades. For work, I run a local office of a Chicago based company that deals in medical software. I'm also a nationally registered EMT (emergency medical technician) and volunterr at the local fire department.
I look forward to meeting you all and learning from you. Thanks for the site.
PS (Where can I find a website that will translate the English language into American. :shock: :-D :-D :-D )
Hi GATOR and welcome to BCUK. I see you already know loads of people here so you'll probably fit right in ;-)

Good to have you. Hoodoo is after something to translate it as well :biggthump
I think that it must be harder for you guys, we over here are quite bilingual (too much TV!)
Have a good one

Well, I'm strictly hetero myself, but I don't have a problem with what people do with their personal life. :-D
Boy this language barrier is confusing. :shock: :wink:
Hi gator! Welcome to the UK eh? :-D
welcome Gator...nice to have you on board!!
Bwahahah., I've already done it. :twisted: Turned a perfectly fine introduction into a thread about how hoodoo is heterolingual. I think that would make me trilingual then, unfortunately one of the languages isn't English, only 'Merican. :cry: Hey, I'll get to learn it though!
Found this one fro you Hoodoo, http://www.travelfurther.net/dictionaries/british-american.htm
Thanks for the welcome Ed, Tony, Hoodoo, and Jamie!
I look forward to catching up on some reading. :-D
Nice link Gator but I noticed that it's not complete. For instance I've always wondered what the word "bugger" means in English but it's not listed. In the US, it's when a man pesters his wife, as in "bug her." :-D

:-D Welcome aboard Gator. I'm sure u'll fit right in here. You've probably picked up some of the lingo from Sargey.
Hoodoo, it means kind of the same thing over here :-D :-? :shock:

Ahh, but what would the ubiquitous term "buggerall" mean? Is it just a shortened version of "bug her all .... the time"? :-P
I'll never forget one particular time in high school. I must've been 15-16 years old when the hot girl from london tapped me on the shoulder before a chemistry test. (She had been in the states for a grand total of 4 weeks) She signaled for me to lean back towards her desk. I ablidgingly did, of course. As her head leaned forward towards me, she whispered softly into my ear, "...do you have a rubber?" You shoulda seen the look on my face, priceless. :cry: :idea: :cry:
EDIT: Pete thanks for the welcome.
hiya mate! how's it all going?
yeah the bugger thing, technically it's sort of an exchange of resources between pederasts and catamites! :shock:
cheers, and.
Thanks for the welcome Sargey.

Now you're just trying to confuse me....and hoodoo. Now I think I know what a pederast is, we've got those here too. http://www.gothamist.com/images/2003_11_michaeljacksonmug.jpg
But a catamite, is that anything like vegemite? :shock: :shock: :shock: http://whatscookingamerica.net/foto2/VEGEMITE.jpg
England and America are two countries separated by the same language.

Not meaning to prolong this further, and I may have not realised you're all messing a bit :?: but have a look here for the correct meaning of the word
