colloquialisms...

I spent a lot of my childhood in South Wales, so when I moved back to England I was full of "be there now in a minute" or even (on the phone to someone) "I'll be there now in an hour".

Scruffy people are described as looking like a 'shonko' or, even worse, 'a Port Talbot shonko'.

Where I live now lots of local sayings are related to Cockney rhyming slang. Like "You must be joking" has changed to "you're having a laugh" and then changed into "You're having a Turkish" :lmao:
