About ten years ago there was a newspaper column complaining that kids in Glasgow were pronouncing 'think' as 'fink' rather than, as it had been for decades, 'hink'. It was blamed on EastEnders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 One of the gulls nesting on our roof has dropped a huge - HUGE - piece of fruitcake on the lower roof outside the kitchen window (just next to the servant's quarters, etc). Apparently it was so unpleasant that none of the local birds are willing to clear up the mess, so I'm going to have to clamber out there and tidy up at some point. It was amusing to see them yelling at me through the skylight when ensconced upon the throne, but I'm seriously considering adapting their rental agreement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked with a boy who referenced his "mom" a few times and also called them "diapers" instead of nappies. Lovely fella, but that was awful stuff. See also "hey", "dude" and "I know, right?".

Absolute murder. I suppose youngsters in the U.K. were exposed to americanisms 20+ years ago with such easy access to American tv programmes. It’s still bloody murder to hear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
