A while back someone was "collecting" British-isms which were generally not
used in the US and/or Canada. I just learned/learnt two more while have
British friends visiting last weekend:
kerfuffle = a lot of fuss, a big "to do"
fringe = bangs (as in hair cut across the forehead at eyebrow level)
Anyone know how we came to use "bangs" in the US? I must admit that "fringe"
actually makes a lot more sense! I do really like the word "kerfuffle" <g>
