This is phonetics, not translation, but funny nonetheless:

[Susana]

Told you the islanders say it wrong

 

I´m here on my own saying those words out loud "your way" and pissing myself.

 

"garage" is particularly hilarious

 

I have an anecdote regarding "vase". Back in 1997 I was working at a hotel reception in London and this lovely American lady client commented on the flowers we had on the desk, so I said the vase was an antique but pronounced it "veiz". The lady remarked "Oh, that´s how you pronounce it in Britain... "veiz" ". :unsure:

 

(I´m Spanish :P )

[Susana]

out of curiosity...

 

Do you use "pussyfooting" in the US?

[El Bandito]

I'm made up about that

 

=

 

I am happy about that

[bakon]

Pussyfooting is used but only rarely and make sure your bigger than person you say it to because it's really just saying they don't have the balls to do something.
