    I visited England back in "84" and some of their lingo took some getting used to. A fag is a cigarette, a puff is a gay dude, and being pissed is being drunk not mad, lol. Funny story how I found that out, I was in a pub and a "bloak" I was talking to said this guy was pissed, I thought he meant he was mad at me and I said, "What did I do?", he said no, he's just drunk, lol.

    I love British humour.  I can´t see why you find it difficult to follow.
