Shitscared is a favorite.

It means to reach a level of terror so great that you lose control of your colon.

Im still having nightmares about my australian ex-flatmate. She did an entire thesis on the post vocalic letter L. Fuck. Ive had enough of the australian language to last two lifetimes.

Is America still seeking to have its official language changed from english to American?

I dont think so, Muff, but there is movement towards an idea where they change the name of the U.K. to 'Little America'.

The US does not have an official language - thus, Houston in different areas we have city posted street signs in english, spanish, vietnamese, koream, tagalog, chinese, and russian,

Those of us who speak english frequently find it difficult to navigate.
