Thread Name: Mistakes I Have Made When Listening To Songs
Subject: RE: Mistakes I Have Made When Listening To Songs
In the English Music Hall song "A Little Bit of Cucumber", I could never figure out where in England the locale of 'Matcheses' was....like in "I can go to Matcheses, but what I do prefer..." It wasn't until I got up the courage to ask a English friend that I understood that it meant " I can occasionally enjoy some tomatoes"... Now I understand the comment that "The US and England are two countries divided by a common language."
