Because I'm a geek and watch 1D's video diaries over and over because apparently I'm entertained by 5 guys sitting on a staircase being stupid. (You can watch said video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_HD14MkewY )
Anyway, at one point in the video, Louis (The one wearing the blindfold) is "reading" a question that says "If you couldn't bath in water, what would you bath in?". Of course, his voice is slightly muffled because he has the paper shoved up against his face. Because he's Louis, and he does stuff like that. When I first watched the video, I swear I heard him say, "If you couldn't faff in water, what would you faff in?" Then I got to thinking, how many Americans even know what "faff" means? I feel like that can't be normal. It then occurred to me how much British slang I have actually picked up on. This is partially from watching One Direction videos, partially from this guy
Charlie McDonnell, known to the internet as Charlieissocoollike. This particular screen shot is from my favorite video of his, Charlie Reads Twilight. ( href="http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGVUFrzoUto&ob=av3e )
And also.... I watch/read a lot of Harry Potter.
So... yeah.
Oh, and just in case you were wondering, "faffing" is a verb that means to not really do anything. Example: "today all I did was faff around and watch episodes of Psych."
Cheerio!
