Soaps is a good one - there's loads of things I don't understand tho'...
* How life began
* Dark matter
* Will we find extra-terrestrial life?
* will humans fuck the planet or will we somehow pull back from the brink
* the inner workings of Boris Johnson's mind
* Jedward
* what we're gonna have for dinner
* will I hoover the house today?
* the inner workings of my cat's mind
I'd be here for the rest of the decade if I thought about it seriously... |

"Russian. I just don't understand it."
Now here's a funny thing:
When we don;t understand something, we sometimes say "It's all Greek to me."
The Greeks say, "It's all Chinese to me."
So what do the Chinese say?

"The Chinese say who flung dung."
Oh, I completely forgot about this.
Yes, the Chinese say:
"It's all snakes tails to me."
Suggesting that there is nothing more complicated that Chinese pictographs |

"I don't watch Emmernation Enders, Corriedale Street, or Easternation so have no idea what you are on about 
Second that !!"
See, I don;t understand why people in Bridgwater can't even spell the name of their own town correctly!

"Hoover the house surely you mean vacuum the house? Oh im in such a pedantic mood today "
You are correct - but as any fule kno North Americans tend to use vacuum cleaner, or just vacuum, and Britons tend to use hoover. Both words also function as verbs, inflected vacuumed, vacuuming, hoovered, and hoovering. By metaphorical extension, hoover also means to consume completely. It’s usually followed by the preposition up. When you are very hungry, for example, you might hoover up your dinner. Vacuum isn’t commonly used this way.
Hoover also appears elsewhere in the U.K., as well as in Ireland, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, but nowhere is it quite as common as in England. Meanwhile, outside North America vacuum cleaner and its corresponding verbs are known and appear often.
This same is not true of hoover in the U.S. and Canada, though it is recognized by most people who have had some exposure to British media.
Hope that clears up any confusion.

How people say to me "how can you like football, it's just a group of men running around after a bag of air" and yet the very same people practically wet themselves with excitement when Wimbledon is on! |
