Honesty - I wouldn't have known you were overseas except for the timezone differences and when you first mentioned your 'Mum' instead of "Mom', so you're doing really well with the American English thing. :) That's what made me curious if it was something you were putting effort into or maybe there aren't as many dialect differences as I assumed (when things are in print, anyway.) (Though, one look at a chart comparing UK and American clothing terms and already I'm confused. LOL)
The other thing that had me thinking was I'd been checking into NYC slang to see if there was anything different than what I speak here. LOL I live in the Boston-New York Corridor, so the internet seems to tell me there really isn't much that matters. (I was thinking Mike may have a bit more of a NY accent at times, like his Dad - that's what made me go looking. But I'm not sure if I'd know how to communicate that. I guess the pronunciation is just different? I was hoping to find some local words that would make it more obvious. *shrugs*) But, yeah, NYC is not much more than a train ride away from where I am, so we share a lot of dialect words compared to other parts of the US. Like we say soda instead of pop, sneakers instead of tennis shoes... that kind of thing. Anyway... Kinda struck out. lol. *shrugs*
Let's have the bar be Josie's! I like it! (Besides, much better than any college bar... I remember those as too loud and too kiddish, anyway.) (And, yeah, most of us end up drinking under the age of 21 - one of the reasons I think the law is silly and wonder if it encourages binge drinking in the young. Like the thrill of getting away with something... But, if it were normal, that thrill is gone, you know? Maybe there'd be a healthier social norm in it's place? Maybe not, though.)
Pangalactic gargleblaster sounds epic. That's from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy right? I wonder if the fictional drink is made with fictional liquor? lol. :)
