It's only words.

Th changing face of english. A language that seems constantly in transition. In a few hundred years our current form of English may appear to the future generations as Chaucer currently appears to us.

C U soon M8. (and for example)

I'm getting more and more abbreviated messages these days.

. . . and to get the correct pronunciation one needs to understand the demographic and write it phonetically: 'kinoaf

Doesn't calling someone "Blue" in Ausspeak mean you're referring to a ginger?

Lovely word, kerfuffle, has a sort of texture to it.

Definitely of British origin. Coincidentally I saw it referenced recently in an article talking about words that deter younger voters from listening to older politicians.

It was used in a very ironic sense in many Lou and Andy sketches from Little Britain.

Yes. It also means having a fight, as in 'have a blue'.

It can also be used as 'true blue' - real, as in true blue Aussie.


Blue . . . useful

I'm going back 20 or so years now, isn't a Blue-y/Blue-ie a big fly, blue-bottle in Pommyland?



Reading the last few posts I think Big Kev's been reincarnated.

That'd be a blowie . . . not the kind that socal gets from LBs . . . Same word, different meaning

A 'shamozzle' describes this place sometimes.















... but not apparently for the septic spellchecker :)
