    I know but they didn't have any Rizla Rizlas

    Another example is:

    I want to blow my nose, give me a Kleenex.



    For instance, you might say that a girl stuffs her bra with Kleenex.

    I was 20 before I learned that the generic term was "paper tissue".

    The only people who use "rolling papers in the US are making joints (or spliffs as you seem to call them).

    I don't think I said, did I

    I don't really remember much of that night, or the next time we did it. But I'm the proud owner of two 9B49 T-shirts

    oh noze! after a long and mysteries journey, the cooperative made it known that they are in fact, sold out! i questioned the shop keep, but he let nothing slip, his years of training had served him well today had there been a cream crises during the night? will i have to venture further out into town, the main land

    from what I can remember, buses on a Sunday run at three hour intervals, if i could somehow board one of these vessels, the truth would be no more than a 15minute journey away, fraught with suspicious people who also unveil them selves at public transport this will indeed be a difficult quest

    In talking with an English bloke last night about a totally unrelated matter, I discovered a fine example from UK... as he was talking about needing to Hoover the carpet, instead of saying vacuum.
