Re: Slang Terms
Hi SamF, yeah I know that what I mean is when someone says something to you and you reply "well i'll go t'foot of our stairs"
Has no one else heard that expression? |

Re: Slang Terms
Like if you are talking about someone in your family you say "our.........." it makes no sense but people say it!

I though that was because for instance when you say our barbara (sister) you say the our because they are belonging to you in a sense, like belonging to your family (not meaning a posesion but I think you get what I mean lol) |
