    In the UK a "rubber" is an eraser and an "eraser" a term used in very posh schools.

    It is not unusual for students to ask female teachers in the UK "miss, have you got a rubber I can borrow?".

    or

    "Miss, this old rubber of yours you lent me has been well used, but it still does the job - thanks".

    In the US when enjoying a blunt it is often said, "that's some good shit."

    Wondering what the UK equivalent is..?

    lol..... three above very good. I have never heard the "rubbers" one before. Learning something new every day.

    The Brits call Americans "Septics"....cockney rhyming slang,septic tank meaning Yank.

    No offence meant to my American friends....

    Although not slang,I do get infuriated with certain pronunciations which I have seen on American cookery programmes ie  Basil, Oregano and herbs all mispronounced.

    And there is an "in herbs" maybe not in France

    Just a minor grumble.

    No offense taken. In fact I love it.

    I think the slang (word) was once band from another past much loved forum.

    In the South of England we have a place called Hampton Wick, which is rhyming slang for dick.

    But it's usually shortened down to just Hampton.

    When II here a US serviceman saying "Roger that" I have a quiet chuckle.
    Roger that in the UK can mean I'd f**k that.
