Don't even get me started on the fanny pack thing...
LOL :D
My favorite Northern British word is "plodge." As in, "We're going to plodge in the ocean." I learned that from my British tour guide in Spain, and thought that it was the coolest thing I'd ever heard. Also, a "gazebo" is a "bandstand" in England I learned.
But, "McLobster?" I would pay actual money to see that. I've never had lobster, but have heard that it is good, but if McDonald's has anything to do with it, it must suck horribly.
Trubble:
Eh? We have gazebos - they're little covered seating type things that you stick at the bottom of the garden for no real reason.
Bandstands are just plain bandstands.
I must really be a Southerner, I've never heard the word plodge before.
LK:
Yes, well, the guy was from Northern England, so he said people from elsewhere wouldn't understand it. "Plodge" means, of course, "wade." And it sounds really cool!

A gazebo could certainly be used as a place to hold a band. Gazebos are also ravenous and have been known to attack and eat people.
Trubble:
Well true, I suppose you could put a band in one, but then we would call it a band stand.
Amusing link. :)
