... and while Lovelylurker has a minor freakout above me...
Ooo, "wicked" as an adjective. *notes down*
I have unfortunately been infected with the same verbal tic. D8 To the despair of those around me. And in the glorious "Nanny Nation" (it's a tabloid nickname; try not to imagine Arthur in a dress) saying "retarded" will get you some insulted looks. We still say daft and stuff like plonker, but it's kind of archaic now.
We call "pop", "fizzy drinks". Or, you know, the brand name. :| We don't ask if anyone wants pop, we ask if they want Fanta or Sprite or Coke.
