It barely fits in the bloody car park. So bad for pedestrians and the environment.

    Are we calling bonnets ‘hoods’ and boots ‘trunks’ now? When did that happen?

      I use them interchangeably… guess it’s all the yank media rubbing off on me. I don’t say trunk though, that still feels wrong.

        It creeps in doesn’t it? The one that gets me is “y’all”, which I see more and more. I prefer the good old Aussie “youse”. 🦘

          I started saying y’all ironically to make fun of Americans and now I catch myself using it unironically every now and then. I also prefer youse but for some reason it feels less formal than y’all (even though they’re both informal??). When I’m in work chats I’m more likely to use y’all but with mates I say youse. Funny stuff.

            As far as work text chats go ya’ll fills a gender neutral inoffensive spot so is getting plenty of air time at the moment.
