Queen’s English, Trifecta Challenge

Posted on March 7, 2012 | 10 Comments

“Bloody hell you little guttersnipe, you keep gabbin with those proper young fillies using vulgar language like that you’ll end up a Billy no mates”.
“Go on, off with you now, and learn to speak the Queen’s English”

We want between 33 and 333 words from (and including) the third definition of the word:

vulgar (adj) \ˈvəl-gər\

3 a : of or relating to the common people : plebeian

b : generally current : public <the vulgar opinion of that time>

c : of the usual, typical, or ordinary kind

Thanks for linking up to Trifecta this week. I don’t usually enjoy responses that are strictly dialogue, but this one got a good chuckle out of me. We’re American, but my son is growing up speaking British English, and it’s hilarious to hear the stuff that comes out of his mouth.

Right then. Hope to see you back soon.

  I had the pleasure of working for a company that had a lot of international clients that needed to be helped. The UK clients always cracked me up.

I took linguistics from a British woman. Her kids were 100% American. And her daughter, the whole time she was a teen, would correct her Mom, “Mom, my name’s Hannah, not Hannahr.”

  Thanks for saying. I love short. Although sometimes it order to make the point I will go longer.

Very funny. I love every accent I come into contact with and must be very careful not to mimic. We had a great time driving across Australia and taking trains and it was all I could do to not embarrass myself that way.
