Now, I am going to give you some slang, some American slang.
We’re going to take turns. We will see
how much you know and how much I know. Hugh: Okay
Helen: Okay. The first one I’m gonna give you is, flossing.
Do know what flossing means?
You mean actually flossing? Helen: No, it’s slang. Hugh: Slang
I mean you do know what actual flossing is.
Hugh: Well, I know. I know the Americans opinion of British dental practice,
Hugh: but yes I do know what that is.
Helen: Flossing.
Hugh: That would be something close-fitting and no,
Hugh: I know, I don’t know.
Helen: No.
Hugh: That would be.
Helen: That was to really show you how wrong you are.
Hugh:That’s kind of rubbing it in, this is really aggressive isn’t it?
Helen: Yeah, it really is, it was aggressive, I’m sorry, because I could have just said no,
Helen: but we just, in America, we like to really rub it in.
Helen: With a klaxon.
Helen: It is showing-off, flossing.
Hugh: Really?
Helen: Yeah showing-off is flossing.
Hugh: Okay.
