Lesson 1: A gaff is your home, be it an apartment, a house or a broken down Volvo Estate Wagon. (Note: a Volvo Estate Wagon is a Volvo Station Wagon.)
Lesson 2: 'Pudding' is a meal course, known in France as 'dessert'. You may indeed have pudding for pudding. You may also have cakes, ice cream or jelly.
Lesson 3: 'Jelly' is what is known in Italy as 'Jell-O'. Jam is what is known as American 'jelly' and Preserves is what is known as what you find at your nana's house or what is referred to as 'jam' on Air Force One.
Lesson 4: Breakfast is what is known as 'brekkies' unless you are in Portugal where it is 'pequeno almoço'. Lunch is 'dinner'. Dinner is 'supper'. Supper is a 'little something something just before bed'.
Lesson 5: If a person is said to be 'rude' then they are a bit of a slapper. If a person is said to be a 'slapper' then they are the sort of people you don't bring home to meet the family but rather enjoy in the privacy of your own gaff after supper and hope they are gone before breakfast, which after a night of debauchery will most likely be pudding.
I hope that clears a few things up.
