    I didn't realise that 'real' people said "shucks", thought it was just cartoons!

      Don't be fooled pixie, North American is a different language to English and can lead to embarassing moments. Suspenders are men's braces, not those sexy things that hold ladies stockings up and "rubber" is not something for rubbing out pencil lines.

      Toilet is a dirty word not used in company, "rest room" or "john" by slang being the operative. Laboratory is another classic. The way Californians pronounce it it sounds as if one goes there to relieve oneself.

      I could go on.

          So it starts off sticky rather than getting that way from use?
