1. 'Jelly' (food) - apparently this is what you call Jam. Why did you change it? There is already a food called jelly, the gelatinous wobbly kind.

2. 'Jelly' (adjective) - What is this ' You're just jelly' that I see? Is it an expression for jealous, and if so why did you turn it into a gelatinous wobbly food/your word for jam?

3. 'Jerk' - This really has me stumped. What does this mean!? Are you trying to call people a piece of beef jerky (dried salted beef) when you call them a jerk?

I should shut up...........

People say I speak posh, which is understandable, as I do, so I don't feel comfortable speaking slang.

1. Nobody knows. We're Americans.

2. That's the internet's change to the word jealous. Not specifically Americans.

3. Basically....A mean person, an ass.

@Jetpack
I don't know why they say Home educated people speak posh and smart.
They call us posh, but then they call us stupid for not going school.

@King

Perhaps this would be an appropriate time to call them 'jelly'?
Awfully spiffing, eh, old bean?

Aluminium sounds much better than Aluminum. Alas, we're Americans, so we take out unnecessary adjectives.

1. Jelly has more sugar than Jam. I checked two conflicting jars in my fridge.

2. "U jelly bro". That originated from the internet, and should've stayed on the internet.

Uuh, no we do really say barbie.

But we don't say "Shrimp" Because our versions of "Shrimp" are so much bigger that we had to rename them "Prawns"

Shrimp on the barbie? I think not.

It's a stereotypical word that everyone outside Australia thinks australians use.
I hear it all the time on commericals for Outback Steak House.
