"Gay" is a good one. I think that is acceptable now, but only in addition to the traditional meanings.

Oh! Cockney Rhyming and other slang is always OK! It's when people use substitute words to replace the originals and actually [imean[/i them that it goes a bit wrong. It's really just people trying to be pretentious during the 19th and 20th centuries and attempting to "distance" themselves from the lower classes by using their "new, superior" language. Unfortunately for them, the Upper classes never bought into it, were confident enough in themselves to carry on with the traditional lingo and now use the "new" language as the yardstick to measure the distance between them and the upstarts.



So, rather than bringing them closer to the aristocrats, the "new" English merely served to define the new middle class. The upper classes still use language as the main indicator of which class you are. Brilliantly - the working classes, whom the "middles" wanted to leave behind, now share the majority of their vocabulary with the aristos. That's why I'm fiercely protective of my working class words - I despise social climbing and snobbery.

I believed it might have been fun having 12 Aussies to 'chat' with, Truth is we have only seen Sean18 and our forum pet Roopy, and, it's never live, always 10 hours ahead.

Well, Your West Hull so I made a point of your Handwriting being 'off the lines'.

I always like people called Graeme who spell it this way. Sounds exotic, like the lovely Graeme "Foxy" Fowler.

Not too sure, his proposed and actual departure date could be influenced by the weather that New York is currently engaged in.

Quote ="dum-dum"That your pronounce Scone to sound like Stone and feel Sick after your ">Lunch.'" Sick is a good one. The act of vomiting is being sick, but you feel ill. Therefore, if you are at sea you may feel ill and be sick. However, you would never feel sick and be "ill" as in vomit. Vomit itself is a bit of a no-no.
