My stepdaughter said,"Brill" to anything she liked. It's a great expression. I found it funny to be addressed by strangers as "Love," and hear everything called "lovely." I used to go to a tailor on the Walworth Road who had a boxer for a client, and there was a note of appreciation from him on the wall, thanking the tailor for his alterations and ending with, "You are a diamond geezer."

You're working with a very outdated set. Come and stay here for a day or two and meet my multi-racial family, enjoy some decent cooking for a change, drink good English wine (you made a dig at English wine a while ago but you need to try Fitzrovia from the Ridgeview Estate), and maybe glance over some World Health Organisation stats showing that the UK is number 2 in the world for dental health (after Germany). US is nowhere. The term 'whited sepulchre' comes to mind. Not that I'm blindly patriotic. I could also show you a large number of things that are really crappy. But they're not actually the same things that you think are crappy based on the standard set of anglophobic clichés.Charles Pooternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-45372516008641276172011-09-23T06:25:50.396-07:002011-09-23T06:25:50.396-07:00"Brilliant" is not so ubiquitous here an..."Brilliant" is not so ubiquitous here any more. I would estimate that "fantastic" is more heavily used nowadays. "Awesome" has gained some traction but is too obviously American to break through fully - I hope the same is true of the ridiculous "sick". As for "mega", it died a death in the mid-1990s and is pretty much never heard now, ditto "wicked". <br /><br />And what about you Americans and "amazing"...?Londonernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-64643476364161047652011-09-22T22:51:34.633-07:002011-09-22T22:51:34.633-07:00Heh.
