I know that is the literal understanding, I just wondered if it had a slang meaning,interpretation, or colloquialism.

Been watching the election coverage here in the UK. They kept referring to the 'eastern sea board' or at least I think that is what they were saying. I know that what they are referring to are the states on the east coast of America that border the Atlantic, but why is it called the 'eastern sea board?

I can't believe Sherlock is called Elementary in the US. Conan Doyle is probably spinning in his grave. For me, Peter Cushing was the best Sherlock Holmes in 70's BBC version.

One thing that has always amused me is the way American's say it when they talk about our English pub's. They pronounce it 'Pahb' or something like that. It's PUB ! Rhyme it with 'thud'. Another one is the way they say 'Birmingham' the town in Alabama. They say it in 'My cousin Vinny' and it always makes me laugh.

All I can say is 'vive la difference'

'Innit' is an abbreviation for 'isn't it' or literally 'is it not'. On a sunny day you might turn to someone because you are uncomfortably warm and say 'Hot innit'.

What do American's mean when the put the word 'already' at the end of a sentence?
