lunch/dinner is more of class and are thing in England.
The softie's down south & the posh called it lunch
We northerns and common folk called it dinner.

Dinner/supper is the 3rd meal to the posh and the softie's, while are my way is called tea.

Plus my own city has a language of its own from the rest of the woolbacks and southern softie's :P

Brits call the bathroom the loo
I'm still not sure what the hell snogging is, but I've heard the term.

I dont think anyone mentioned fancy. If I told people here I "fancied" some girl I would be mocked endlessly.

There was a song I heard at a former job that went: (ebonics) "Oh you fancy huh?" Meaning you're pretentious... I think.
