How was it with that British-American language confusion again?

[Calandale]

Then it was like absolutely no posts were received except Cal's

So I thought - oh God, they think I look so awful they dont even want to talk to me any more!

It was a slow time. Happens pretty regularly.

I don't understand what you are referring to here

You wrote something that Callaway didn't understand.

Ohsorry, 'deffed out' means ignored

I suppose it's from 'deafed out' ie peopel pretend they can't hear you or something

It's slang and i'm not that comfortable using it as I'm not very knwledgeable abotu most of it anyway
lol - it's probasbly so old-fashioned these days no one under 40 prob uses it lol

It's 'yoof talk' - young peoples' talk

I steer well clear of it most times as know how appalling it can look tryign to be 'cool' when you're
categorically not lol

"totally deffed out"

sounds like a brummie expression to me.. getting totally ignored

esme - cool no worries. I just think you have to bury insecurities (like "noone's repsonded to me") sometimes.  If you talk about them out loud then people might feel they have to tread on eggshells around you, and the next time they do respond to you, you might start thinking they only did to make you feel better after how you reacted the first time.

It was like this with my ex. I'd send her a text, and if i didn't get a reply within 5 minutes i'd start panicking, and have to sit on my hands to not ring or text again asking what was wrong.

still, not as bad as a guy at work who told us that stop himself phoning his ex he actually decided to microwave his phone.

I understand American slang better than British. I blame the internet and TV.

[Calandale]

I don't get either. Barely understand internet abbreviations either - and I've been dealing with them for a while.

funny there seem to be yanks on here using words like "arse" and "wanker"

[esme456]

I know exactly what you mean Spaghetto

It's been the story of my life - people treading on eggshells round me - my Dad's said it so many times!  

And as for the getting paranoid about lack or text replies - that is me!

I used to have some humdinger rows with my ex about why didnt he reply sooner lol

Then I would not even have my phone switched on when he texted lol

And I find it very hard to cut contact with an ex if it hasn't ended acrimoniously
- as I see these people as friends foremost and dont want to lose them

But it can create all sorts of problems with the current bf

My ex came back to the house one day when my friend Lee was visiting and we were watching a DVD

My ex offered us both tea and I thought things were fine

After he says 'I saw the look he gave me while sitting on MY settee with MY girlfriend'

I said he was being ridicuous!

There was a funny vote about whether "ass" or "arse" was the right word. For some reason "arse" won and from that some Yanks, like true aspies, use the word "arse".

I know what you mean, it's just that i would tend to bite my tongue rather than have an argument about it even though i'm dying to. But by the end it turned into me being clingy and going "what?" all the time so we ended up breaking up.

I'm going to bed now so any further non-replies are due to that!

haha, good vote. It is a funnier word i reckon.

[esme456]

arse sounds dirtier imo

I have exceedingly great problems with biting my tongue - it's not in my repertoire if too stressed lol

It's easier to bite someone else's.
