[No.78]

Sure I understand it, but I wouldnt if someone said it to me quickly, and I certainly wouldnt be able to say it. TIS CRAZINESS!!! *runs away*

[escobert]

Yes I understood but that would be horrid to speak like.

[Zeldy]

Oh god I use so much St Helens slang. We say things are "well mint", "proper fab", "pure nice", "Fair good", "Oooh, I well bum off this song!" and just stuff like that xD
English slang is more "gutted" and "chuft"; I think most english people use those.

I live near Liverpool, so Im used to the way they speak. I can kinda understand that paragraph, as Liverpudlians speak english kinda like that.

The vernacular is something I enjoy using during the proper situations, though most of the time its usage is minimal.

Did you hear about that chick over there? She got wasted last night and was totally hungover this morning, but you gotta give her kudos, she came to school, except she passed out in class and the teacher started harassing her. It was all her fault anyways, and here I have to stop because the rest is unintelligible

[Iceglow]

I'll very rarely use slang I tend to speak properly because it was how I was raised and most of the slang I do use is American or Canadian due to the high level of exposure I have to Americans and Canadians.

Everyone at my school uses so much slang, there's so many chavs and pikeys. :p The big one is "Init", everyone says that, I even say it alot now. There's alot of rude ones too, but I shouldn't say them here. xD

[starseeker]

I only use a lot of slang when I'm excited. I'm harder to understand when I talk fast than when I use slang. And I talk fast a lot.

[Dagga]

I think to the Irish it really isn't slang because we just use it whatever age & wherever in Ireland we're from...

"Bate" means to beat but we pronounce it that way well if you're a culchie that is...

If you want to have fun with slang, learn the language from A Clockwork Orange and use it to confuse everyone around you.

[Quindiana Jones]

I understood it. I speak much slangwords.

[Shlup]

This is why we don't teach nonstandard dialects in school.

[Madame Adequate]

Ach don' be daft y'big ejit, ye've no idea what Eyerish slang is like. I'll give you a bat'n the bake 'n throw ye in the sheough if ye try this nonsense again. Thon's a quare bit o'writin' y'tried though, so a'spose I'll give yuh some credit for it. I'd do about as well if I were writin' at the craek o'dawn, so mebbe yer havin' yer own circumstances.

Now, go on with ye, y'buck ejit! Or I'll put my boot so far up yer hole we've t'go to the hospital t'get it out!

Ach sure even when y'write wi'a dialect er'un accent yer gonnae lose sumpin. Sure look at that there word "sumpin", I can't get any closer 'n that to how y'say it, but if yer readin' it an' yer not from the Falls Road er the Shankill ye'll not read it right. Like with "anyway", there's no other way t'write that there word I can think of, but y'wouldn't be sayin' it right if y'just read it there. Like thon word at the start, Irish, only I wrote it like Eyerish, fer that's a wee bit closer t'how yuh'd say it here.

Ach sure if I can be annoyed I might record something for yis.

(Edit: And yes, I have spoken to Irish people who speak that schizophrenically and contradict what they're saying that regularly.)

Dagga, you're not from Letrim by any chance are you? :shifty:

[Tavrobel]

Ya'll be loafin'.

The only slang I use is "I have Asian OCD," which stands for "you fail at life."

Did you hear about that woman over there, she got drunk last night and was really hungover in the morning, but fair to play to her, she got up and went to school, unfortunatly she couldn't concentrate and got beaten up. Whats her name, that woman, the teacher! I guess it was her fault anyway, cause she was acting like like an idiot. Heh, I bet you don't care though. This paragraphs is is all over the place.
Geez Im such an idiot.

I don't like the Dublin accent. (Ya know wha i mane like?) :-\

[Vikeve]

I use slang when I talk but not much when I write. Unless, I'm typing but when I type its not so much as me using slang as it is me just not giving a rats ass for grammar.:)

I can't understand that book at all, but my friend can. She said you get used to it.:p
