Do you actually pronounce any of the 't's?

Americans don't hit their Ts as hard as the Brits.
So, to YOU it would sounds more like fuh-ged-a-bowd-it.

And again, the last T would be much softer than a properly hit British T... which, as you remember was thrown into the harbour ages ago.

You sound like a music teacher.

I guess a real English-dragging American would pronunce it like "Fu-ge-ab-a-uti"
And an American Speaking Brit would say "Fuh-ged-a-bout-i."
Just like God is Pronounced Gad...err...Gud!

She brings music to our ears

Isnt it meant to be "She brings music to our eyes"

In the USA :

I ate my heart out means I had a delicious meal.

I spent time in the big house means I was in jail.

Another word for jail is 'slammer'.

When the sales clerk says "Dollar ten", it means one dollar and 10 cents.

That must be one of the reasons mike couldnt stand the brit

I spent time in the big house means I was in jail.

Jail is a always a big house to accomodate many blacks.

Maybe; but I’ve never heard I used that way.

“Eat your heart out” means the same as “Read em and weep”.

Which means, “I won, and you are so jealous”.

The term “Read em and weep” comes from poker, when you clobber someone.

You have to tell us what they mean FOFA

Why do you have a "Lone Star" and ask about a Texas Road Bump?

I have to agree with jsanders on this one. In the midwest we'd probably say "That hit the spot".

 

[jsanders]

Why do you have a "Lone Star" and ask about a Texas Road Bump?

Born and Raised,

I mean you have to tell them what it means.

 

[jsanders]

A New York minute
A country mile

A New York minute means real quick
A country mile means a long ways.

 

[jsanders]

A blue moon

A long time

 

[jsanders]

Over yonder; just over there within shooten distance, actually within eye sight.

Shooten distance; If you're from Texas that’s about as far as you can see.

Plum tuckered; you can’t get any more exhausted than that
