My (not cockney) kid just informed me
that I must say "Pip pip cheerio!" before leaving the room today.

Yesterday while we were in the kitchen cleaning up, she informed me she no longer wanted to be called Ruby and wished to be called "Rex"... and the next words out of her mouth were "Hey, are these the salad tossers?"

:rofl:

She really needs to get out of this house. :D

4. I had a Brit ask me recently why americans think that THEY say
"Cheerio" -- the best I could do was to say that it is in a song in "Oliver!" They are probably going for "cheers" but think that can't be right because it is the title of an American sit-com.

Had another ask me where the "tchube stop" is.

5. Just don't let her take the Durango 95 out today...
...She's sure to have one too many milk-plus-velocets and get into the old ultraviolence, unless she has a pain in the gulliver.
