Brits, Australians and Kiwis, do the original headlines make sense to you? KURTIS: English to English translation. SAGAL: English... (LAUGHTER) SAGAL: ...We know, is not the same everywhere. We're going to read you a headline from an English-language newspaper or website somewhere in the world. Your job is to translate it into American English, and you get a point. All right? Now, there's no hints, just your best guess as fast as you can. Here we go. Roy, you're up first. This is from a paper in Australia. KURTIS: Victorian Man Attacked By Roo Manages To Save His Stubby. SAGAL: What does that mean? ROY BLOUNT JR: Attacked by a kangaroo, manages to... (LAUGHTER) BLOUNT JR: Manages to save his sausage. SAGAL: No. Actually... LUKE BURBANK: That was the second injury at the golf course. SAGAL: Yeah, I know... (LAUGHTER) SAGAL: He managed to save his beer. Apparently, a stubby is beer... BLOUNT JR: Oh, OK. HELEN HONG: Oh. SAGAL: Helen, this one's for you, from The Guardian newspaper in the U.K. KURTIS: "Zebras Get The Hump." (LAUGHTER) HONG: Zebras at the zoo were caught mating? SAGAL: No, that's from an article about how some crosswalks, which they call zebra stripes, were being renovated with speed bumps to protect... (LAUGHTER) HONG: Oh. SAGAL: ...Pedestrians. HONG: Wow. That's so convoluted, but OK. (LAUGHTER) SAGAL: Luke, here's one from Britain's Sunday Sport newspaper. KURTIS: Greggs Pasty Boiled My Bell-end. SAGAL: What does that mean? (LAUGHTER) HONG: Wow. BURBANK: Greggs Pasty Boiled My Bell-end. SAGAL: Yes. BURBANK: Somebody made a breakfast roll and threw it at someone else's backside at Windsor Castle. (LAUGHTER) SAGAL: Most things happen at Windsor Castle, so it's a good - no. Greggs Pasty Boiled My Bell-end means a man bought a pastry - a pasty - from the restaurant chain Greggs, tried to have sex with it, and it burned his bell-end. (OOHING) HONG: (Laughter). BURBANK: At Windsor Castle. (LAUGHTER) SAGAL: Roy, one more for you. This is from New Zealand. KURTIS: Chuffed To Have Spuds Chosen. SAGAL: What does that mean? BLOUNT JR: Well, this was a - obviously, a potato grower whose potatoes were judged to be the finest potatoes... (LAUGHTER) BLOUNT JR: ...In all of New Zealand. SAGAL: You're correct. BLOUNT JR: Oh. (SOUNDBITE OF BELL) HONG: No. (APPLAUSE) SAGAL: So fine were this man's potatoes that they were chosen to serve to Harry and Meghan when they tour the country. Very good. HONG: At Windsor Castle. (LAUGHTER) BURBANK: Yup, 100 percent.
