Oh bloody hell.
contactmusic.comAmerican actress PIPER PERABO struggled to perfect an English accent for her new movie IMAGINE ME + YOU, particularly when it came to swearing.
The 29-year-old star - who plays a Londoner in the romantic comedy - prefers swearing in her native accent because it's less time consuming.
She tells Hotdog magazine, "I think and American saying w**ker doesn't have the same weight as when a Brit says it. For some reason 'c**p' was the hardest word. I say it once in the film and it was like a gillion takes."
Oh bloody hell.

Why not just listen to the British say it when you're having your lattes?
Dork...ette. Dorkette.

Perhaps she meant 'carry the same weight'. Brainiac this girl is not.

I actually think her name in itself is a bit of a mouthful, Piper Perabo, Piper Perabo, Piper Perabo, sounds like a red lorry yellow lorry type tongue twister.![]()
Hehehehehe...I wonder if she could manage THAT little sentence....

OK, someone's gotta spell this one out for me; the only word I could come up with was "crap", and I doubt that has to be starred out.For some reason 'c**p'was the hardest word. I say it once in the film and it was like a gillion takes."![]()
I always thought she was cute.
That said no one tell you to f-off better than someone with a British accent.

Well, an American saying wanker just doesn't sound...right. It's like a British person trying to speak ebonics...just not working.Originally Posted by Tenaj

Would an American say wanker, though?
I do.I just take care not to say it in front of any British people, so as not to be laughed at.

I'm lost...what is the C**P?
*scratching head*
Mischief. Mayhem. Tattoos. Soap.
Its like when an aussie/brit tries to say ass or damnit, it doesnt sound quite right. Everyone tells me I sounds too snobby when I say ass because it sounds like arse, all proper.
OK, prn, for us Americans, i found these possibilities:
Crap - The same word in both countries - but less rude here (meaning the US). I loved watching Brits being interviewed on US chat shows and embarrassing the interviewer when they said something was "total crap".
Camp - Someone who displays effeminate or gay behaviour is somewhat camp. And to "camp it up" would be to dress in drag.
