What do they call e-cigs in the UK?

[Pangoo]

I was just wondering if they call them "e-fags"
In the UK, because that would sound really
Funny here in the US.

On another note, my girlfriend is very happy
I've given up on smoking real cigarettes, but
now that I'm constantly puffing on my e-cigarette
she calls me a serial vapist.

an american friend said it might attract the wrong guy of clientèle thow... he he he

It's funny, I never even considered that when I thought up my username for this forum but just the last few days I've been wondering what our friends over the pond might think, especially with a pic of Marlene Dietrich! I thought of the username because sometimes our no smoking friends call me FagAshLil but now I don't smoke so eFagLil was born

Oh God, maybe I should change my name!

I'm sure our US friends will make allowances, after all we usually snigger a little at their common name for their posterior !!

We love you just the way you are!

It adds to the charm of you being "across the pond".

I can't speak for all Americans, but to my way of thinking the language is called English, not American. We're the ones who have taken liberties with words like biscuit, ... and bum.

 

[tribalmasters]

Well I don't care what people call my ... because not only am I a ... I smoke an e-... aswell. Could be confusing if I ever went to America tho!

 

[efaglil]

Well maybe I should just call myself Mrs Faux Pas...

The word fanny used for .... has a somewhat different meaning in the UK. Quite physically close to the ...., but only females have them,

You know when I was in the UK i always thought the phrase "Take the mickey out of..." was interesting; hadn't heard that one until I'd crossed the pond.

There's also the terrible joke that in the UK, "english muffins" are called "our muffins"

I had to Google mickey to find out the joke. People are inventive when it comes to naming parts of the body

I think take the mickey comes from Cockney rhyming slang:-

Mickey Bliss = Piss

 

[trog100]

ahhh.. that just means we have dropped the micky bit.. live and learn... he he
