Colloquialisms From The Bible https://buff.ly/e3gX18m #Bible #idioms #colloquialisms #sayings

Anybody out there still saying "far out"?

#lexicon #colloquialisms

The rhetorical "right?" is back with a vengeance.

Right?

#colloquialisms

I’m really not liking “of course” as a substitute for “you’re welcome.”

But I’m not quite sure why. 🤔

Typed index card that reads: After some heavy cleaning and degreasing today, I think I'm going to replace the phrase, "I got the fuzzy end of the lolly pop" to "I got the fuzzy end of the over-oiled typewriter."

#WritersCoffeeClub Feb. 28: Should you avoid running around the Wrekin, beating about the bush, and avoid colloquialisms?

You should use #Colloquialisms if you aim to give a familiar flavor to your characters' speech. You don't want to OVERUSE them to the point readers roll their eyes or resort to skimming your #Dialogue, having heard too much of it before.

If 'innit' is British colloquial for "isn't it," is 'dinnit' colloquial "doesn't it?"

Thanks to everyone who responded to my question about common skeuomorphisms!

I've created a page on my website to gather all of them (and more) together:

In my kid's #lexicon : "holy balls," e.g., "holy balls, it's hot out." #colloquialisms

Not at all. It's just very uncommon, in my experience (like calling the toilet a "WC" or a "lavoratory"). It could be that is just your family, or it could be the area where you live.

Most Americans say either "soda" or "pop," but a small percent say "soda pop." It's a location thing, in that case.

In another case...
My Scottish Great-Grandmother immigrated to the USA around 1890. Four generations of us ladies have kept the tradition of saying things like "Are ye daft er deef?" (Are you stupid or deaf?) and "Keep yer britches on!"

We're all very American, but our #ancestry still comes through in little ways.

#dialects #colloquialisms

does the phrase "welcome IN" annoy anybody but me?

I feel like the "in" part is implied in the "welcome" already. You can't welcome somebody out... lol
It's redundant, IMO 😂

#USSouth #Southern #Contractions #Yall #Georgia #Colloquialisms

Meme with the Southern US contraction of Y'all'd've, triple contraction of "You all would have." Colloquial, used mostly in the US South and neighboring regions. Example: We could've met y'all there if y'all'd've just waited!

🤣🤣😂 us provincial sorts are going to be fine for a long while.

'Question Explain to me how British English differs from other kinds of English and most other languages due to the fact that it is very high context language. Also explain it in the most authentically sarcastic but good natured British English you are capable of doing without being condescending.
"Answer Ah, well you see, British English is different from other forms of English because it's a bit posh, innit? And what makes it posh is that it's very high context, meaning that we Brits tend to leave a lot unsaid and expect others to fill in the gaps. It's bit like a game of chess, really: we make a move. you make a move, and then we both sit back and pretend that we know exactly what the other person is thinking Of course, this coan lead to some misunderstandings, especiallų for those who aren't accustomed to our ways. BUt Tear with of practice, you too can master the art of speaking like a proper Brit. Just remember: when in doubt, use a sarcastic tone and a patronizing smile, and you'll fit right in. Cheerio!

'Question Two Okay, try answering my question again but this time using authentic Westcountry British English, specifically the way of speaking found in South Somerset, also include some slang unigue to the area.
"Answer Righto, mate. Well, British English is different from other forms of the language because it's a bit more 'avin' it, innit? And in the South Somerset area, we talk a bit different-like than some other parts of the country. We use a lot of slang and local words, like "gurt" for "very" and "cider" for, well, cider. We also tend to speak a bit more slowly and draw out our vowels, even simple words can sound quite different. For example, the word "dog" might come out as "dawg" and "house' might sound like "hice". It's all a bit of a puzzle, really, but once you get the hang of it, youll fit right in with the locals. Just remember: when in doubt, add a bit of Westcountry twang to your words and speak with a proper Somerset burr, and yoU'll sound like a proper somerset bloke or gal. Cheers!

#introduction hi 👋 I'm Kelley. I'm very bad at introducing myself. I'm what is (sometimes) affectionately referred to as a 'red stringer' I guess. #patternrecognition is my default. I'm into #poppsych #politics #meme #spn #greysanatomy #cuteanimals and #benice I take #colloquialisms too deep and I love to #joke about serious stuff.
I'd really love some #friends. The only thing we have to have in common is #respect
