Lately I've gotten into a terrible habit of using Famous Five-esque slang
For example I walk into my local shop drop something and go;
Oh Gosh! ....a lot of stares....then I see that they are selling kinder hippos so I go; golly!
Which equals a lot more stares understandably enough as we're quite rough around here in my part of liverpool....
This started out as a joke but now I can't stop using old fashioned slang
anybody else have this strange problem?
I truely do think it's going to get me beat up one day
"In the driest whitest stretch of pains infinate desert, I lost my sanity, and found this rose"
I'll tellya whats posh (and makes me laugh)
when posh people say; yar, I love it!
(and thats not yar in the german sense, although isn't the queen german?
getting past the point here.....)

Keep it up. Maybe it'll catch on and you'll single-handedly solve Britain's swearing problem.

I used that one once. But I was in the middle of a classroom of children and had stubbed my toe.
No prizes for guessing what F word I really wanted to use. I don't even think the 4 year olds were fooled.

I never swear...Welll VERY rarely, not because I make a conscious effort not to but swear words just aren't the first things that come to mind when annoyed or whatever.
just because you've forgotten doesn't mean you're forgiven
I use some old fashioned slang words, and even take it further and use all sorts of old and even archaic terms for things. I like them more than some modern words, it feels like you got jewels in your mouth or something.

sugarhoneyicedtea...
china (a mate of mine uses this and i finally asked him why he called people that... apparently its english slang for mate... mate=china plate=china... i still don't get it though)
those are all i can think of at the moment...
"Be nice. Think happy thoughts. Champion silver linings. Love all things (not just cute things like babies and kittens) & when you do love - love like they do in power ballads (you know like on a cliff with the wind in your hair and your eyes shut, knowing you'll never know love like this). Watch out for dog poo. Smile at people - even grumpy ones. Remember anything is possible & whatever you do always try to look on the bright side."
as we're quite rough around here in my part of liverpool....
