That's too bad (that you can't get Ab Fab). We Brits rarely come up with a comedy gem (you should see the plethora of sitcoms we fail to export) but one has finally arrived which beats them all: Little Britain. A side-splitting, satirical look at British life. Meet the characters.

Ah. I don’t have cable, so I miss out on all things BBC. I have a friend, who’s visiting London even as I write this, who swears by “Ab Fab,” as she calls it.

hehe! It’s Britcamp. Swdi = Sweetie. I don’t know if you’re familiar with Absolutely Fabulous (on BBC America perhaps?) but it’s all in the way Jennifer Saunders says it. “Come on in swdi darling! Champagne sweetie swdi?” Ad infinitum…ad nauseum. And you thought American TV was dumbed down?

Okay, I give. What’s swdi? Some kind of naughty British acronym?

Lemons are hot? All the fruit I bring back to my house is hot swdi.

It’s funny, I grew up in Virginia, and now I’m in Lancaster getting ready to go back to school for my own English degree.
