We are a very typical Australian family. And because we are typical sometimes we really laugh at the slang we use.
Well I laugh at my husband. I am a stickler for spelling and pronunciation…so I really pick him up on everything that spills out of his mouth.
The laughter in our house over the last few weeks has been over the use of these words:
Isn’t it = idn’t it
Wasn’t it = wodn’t it
Doesn’t it = dudn’t it
I am gobsmacked. I cannot believe he keeps manipulating these words. Those that know me will be laughing at how much of a hard time I will be giving Chambo over this.
I have heard this vomit out of his mouth so many times lately. I am as quick as a flash and glare at him. He will generally crack up laughing and exclaim, “I did it again. I can’t believe I keep saying that…”
So, in the Chambers household this week, we are working on our proper English and I am sure to have this little problem of his sorted in no time.
So instead of starting a diet, watching our money, or cleaning the house – our focus is fixing up our slang and trying to come across as a little more “educated”…well my husband will be!
Articulation and elocution is on top of the list this week.
Anything as important as this happening in your house lately?
