I'm neither pro nor anti honey badger.

I like wahoos ( a type of fish who has since the founding of the university of Virginia become the unofficial namesake of that school founded by Thomas Jefferson in 1819).

Only ever heard of Wahoos referring to the Indians, as in Chief Wahoo. I need to get out more.
 
So I asked my coworkers if they'd heard of dogging, and my manager (who has a pretty explicit sense of humor) hadn't heard it before.

Our other coworker, who is a Mennonite ( and th moral compass of our physical therapy clinic) had of course heard it.

Cheers mate, but I waa genuinely interested to find out if the phrase "Cheers mate" has made it across the pond. When I lived and worked there ( I thought I'd just drop that in ) if I said "Cheers mate" without a drink in my hand then people looked at me oddly.

Always try to be friendly with suspected mutis.

To be fair, most Southerners will give a funny look to any Brit when he speaks. And they want to know if you know the queen and what you think about Austin Powers.

But yes, "cheers mate" lives only on the internet, or very select subcultures, within the US as I'm aware.

Fair question Wolly. The answer is that Serenity is right, if you were to just walk up to someone in my neck of the woods, and say "Cheers mate" without alcohol involved , they would look at you oddly.

I unfortunately have never had the opportunity to travel to England, or any other European country for that matter (though it was going to happen on my honey moon but the wifey is terrified of flying, but that's another story), and so me using the phrase was just me messing around.

Most of my soccer experience culturally is involves hanging out with my hispanic friends from high school ( I stay active in multiple leagues in the area), and so getting on a forum like this is cool, as it gives a different perspective.

Again, excited to be here, and looking forward to getting to know some fellow Blues (all I have to deal with over here are Manure fans, RS fanboys, lot's of spurs fans, and Real Madrid followers).

Also, Serenity, you speak as if you have spent some time in the states, or are here currently. Whereabouts did you travel?

There's a few other Virginians here, I reckon they'll poke in and say, "Hello," soon enough.
