Even though i have known my American friend almost 5 years now i still have a few words/phrases that confuse her once in a while.

She came on line a while ago and asked me what i was doing and i replied "eating my tea" she of course said dont you mean drinking your tea and i said well yes i am drinking my tea,but im also eating my tea

Some of we Brits call our dinner...tea,but it was hard trying to explain that to an American...lol.
