Bloody Hell! No faffing way! I've heard that before- likely a British friend. Oi used "Mankey" in a sentence recently talking to a British friend. I have a boss from England-who said "jolly good" to something I told him.
Does ANYONE ever say- "jolly good show, old bean" anymore?I am quite the fan of English Slang, but I suspect that is a bit archaic.
Well I'm off to have a peanut butter "botty".
Quote - I read something on BBC's site about how British words are being incorporated into American English, which is opposite of how people often see it.
I can, however, take pride in the fact there are a number of people here and at other sites who have adopted several words due to me. I've seen a few people here use "faffing", which is a particular favourite of mine and one I use quite a bit.
One of my brothers lives in the US - and has done for some years - and now has a weird accent which is heavily influenced by American dialects. Just to be awkward, when I spent time there, I found my natural accent becoming more pronounced. :D
