Originally posted by moonbusa cracker means different things to different people. Americans use it differently to Europeans and Badger used it differently again, as rhyming slang (for the discerning)
"Suzianne is a biscuit." Some of the posters here are crackers, but Suzi isn't one of them.
For the British, if something is a "cracker" it means it is "cracking good"--such as a track on a Jeff Beck album. For Americans, if someone is crackers, it means he is bonkers. But "bonking" for Brits means "humping" for Americans. Go figure (I can't suss it out). Two people separated by a common language.
