Nothing good is ever heard out of Australia. It seems like a constant stream of bad news.
I read that as America for some reason.
Hard to tell them apart some days.
Ditto Canada - hoping we turf our fear mongering POS excuse for a Prime Minister on Monday

To me that is what football players play on.

The funny thing is... none of those are synonymous with "fire" at least not that I have seen (in the Northeast US).

We've completely derailed this thread (there I've said it).
It's like in the UK they used pissed to mean drunk and a fag is a cigarette. These just don't fly in the US.
-
Only in the US is calling cigarette a bundle of sticks to burn a bad thing but calling it a feminine cigar is okay.

Oh. OK so fag means that in the UK.Means that everywhere, always has. Normal word, I remember learning it in elementary school as normal part of vocabulary.
The sexual orientation slang only makes sense if you realize what the actual word means. It's not a different usage.

Sure we do. Kitchenette, dinette, launderette, and names. "Ette" is a standard feminization of a word. I don't know the root of cigar, but cigarette literally means "little girly cigar."
Same as cigarita would mean in Spanish.
