Random US vs UK question

[Leprechaun]

9 times out of 10 when I say "mugged" over here in the states, I get weird looks. Everyone else says "bunkered." Is "mugging" a UK term I picked up from PGI or what? Like I said, random question so please don't flame me for making a stupid post. I know it's stupid. You know when you wonder about something really trivial but it drives you nuts cause you don't know?

Its just different words for the same thing, like Britains say sweets and Americans say candy.

Yup, like over there it's perfectly acceptable for a man to scratch his fanny. You wouldn't get that over here.

Since Rancid's busy, I'll toot his horn for him.

Leprechaun, PGI's publisher, Matt 'Goat Botherer' Tudor coined the term 'mugging', or so he claims, so yeah, it's predominantly a Brit term for bunkering.

So, uh, there's your answer... you're welcome.

Sorry fella, it's 5.45 in the evening here, keep forgetting your US mate.
Anyway, I'm a recovering alcoholic, I've admitted I have a problem, but you can forget the other 11 steps.
