I had no idea what "Snoawfreet!" as much as I said it to myself. Then I looked at the translation "It's not half right!" and realised I've never heard anyone say that. Have you?

Most of them made sense when I looked at the answers and said them out loud again, but no I can't say I have ever heard that phrase Willow.

judging by the times I have to translate for Busman I'd say we probably do!
