Answer #6

There’s differing lingo from one country to another.

For example, what the English call bangers, we call sausages.

There’s even a lot of words that are different between America and Canada.

Answer #7

im actually confused about this too, so are bangs just a fringe? I once heard they were the bits that hang down the side of your face :/ lol

Answer #8

Bangs and fringes are the same thing. It’s just the difference between languages. Say, what I call ‘tea’ in Australia, Americans/English call ‘dinner’. It’s the same thing, different name.

Answer #9

No-one in England calls sausages ‘bangers’. we call them sausages. Never understood the use of the word bangs. I dont get the connection between a bang and a strip of hair across your forhead. Nutters.
