Funny Pictures Part 2

The US uses the term shrimp for both prawn and shrimp. Shrimp as per the name is a smaller species. PRAWN shrimp .. If you tried to throw a shrimp on the barbie it would fall through onto the fire below. Of course i can understand why the word was used in the paul hogan ad, it was because they were marketing to the US and they wouldn't know what a prawn was.

It's typical US pigeon english continuing on through time due to their stubbornness. Like calling scones biscuits and biscuits cookies and so on.

Why can't people just call things what they are? You eat a biscuit, you call it a biscuit. Why call it a scone when it's a biscuit? what the...

Yeah you're right, the shrimp thing in the U.S. is basically a lazy idiom.

On the other hand in we called the same species of cat 40 different names, including: cougar, puma, mountain lion. English is just, like, totally wack yo.

"Man is the warmest place to hide" sounds a little bit too much like a gay porn tagline.

Edit: Also, "The Thing".. oh god.

It's to visual aid to remind any potential girlfriends coming over, the obvious downsides of dog ownership. Might as well nip that problem in the bud. The opposite wall has an open used babies nappy placed inside an infinity mirror box with a video feed of the inside screened on it's exterior, (the box helps mitigate smell, but if an argument about babies erupts, some leaks out).
