I come to the forum in the morning light

My friend Keli says when you gonna live your life right

Oh Keli dear we're not the fortunate ones

And trolls they want to have fun

Oh trolls just want to have fun

The PM's fill in the middle of the night

My friend Venus yells what you gonna do with your life

Oh Venus dear you know you're still number one

But trolls they want to have fun

Oh trolls just want to have

That's all they really want

Some fun

When the working day is done

Trolls - they want to have fun

Oh trolls just want to have fun

Some posters create a beautiful sentence

And hide it away from the rest of the world

I want to be the one to walk in the sun

Oh trolls they want to have fun

Oh trolls just want to have

That's all they really want

Some fun

When the working day is done

Trolls - they want to have fun

Oh trolls just want to have fun,

They want to have fun,

They want to have fun.

ETA also they don't have lunch in the south..lunch is called dinner..dinner is called supper lol

Yikes!!  That's another discusstion....

It some parts of northern England (where I'm originally from) lunch is also called dinner and dinner is called tea. It hurt my poor wee brain when I moved south and had to get used to calling them 'lunch' and 'dinner'!

Suella...wow, could it get anymore confusing?

In the US, I have always assumed that if you ate at an earlier hour (5:00 for example) it was supper...eating a meal later in the evening (8:00 or so) was dinner.  In my family, we intermingle the two words

ETA:  From Wikipedia, interesting take on the difference of words and it's origins

We used to get Chocolate Cokes at the fountain.  I'm not sure if they ever bottled that.  And Egg Creams.  I just did find this awesome list:  http://www.prairiemoon.biz/bigliofoldfa.html

I think most use the words "coke" and "cola" as the same meaning, which is incorrect...People should ask for a "cola" and then they get whichever brand the place carries.

ETA: We do the same thing with tissues, calling all of them kleenex

And when you make a copy of something, do you still call it a "xerox?"

 Over here in the UK it's quite common to use 'hoover', which often causes people on the (non-commercial) BBC to break out in a sweat when someone refers to their vaccum cleaner as a hoover. A desperate attempt to point out that other vaccum cleaner brands are also available usually follows!

I totally love when someone uses "HOOVER" as a verb.  Especially when a girl asks me if I'd like to be "hoovered."

So any one here know what a "for a two cent plain" is?
