I think it's funny how...

[QUOTE="stevenk4k5"]

[QUOTE="SolidSnake35"]The funniest difference, in my opinion, is that you call a fringe, (the front part of your hair)... bangs. It sounds so wrong. A bang is a loud noise. :PSolidSnake35

I call them bangs, lol. All black people I know call them bangs.

If it's one bang then we say "That's a nice bang". If you have a bang that is split down the middle and going to each side of your face they are bangs; plural. Lol.

i thought this was funny.

"i really need to relax and smoke a ***."

I def never heard anyone say "thats a nice bang." Everyone always says "oh I like your bangs" no matter what.

Oh, well we use singular and plural, lol. You can have one continuous BANG or two split BANGS.

It's bangs....always plural.

INTERESTING FACT OF THE DAY:

Did you know that Band-aid isn't a real word its a brand name used for bandages by a company called band-aid. People just started using the word a lot so it came out to be sort of a slang word for bandages

you didn't read any of the above posts did ye!

americans (yes possibly canadians too i'm just generalising) call them Bandaids, whereas us Brits call them plasters.

Obviously i'm easily amused.

That's....funny? So. And many people call them "bandages" here too. Band-Aid is a brand name.

But they are bandages....Band Aid is a brand name. So the first post was incorrect.;)
