What's your real name???

[zupi_clone]

Not easy to please you natives, if we say stuff like hairs and informations we get flamed, if we finally pick up some proper lingo, we're slammed for not being true :Spin: .

I had to write an essay about how native English speakers were feeling cornered and had an identity crisis, becase their language had become global and thus no their own anymore. Was useless philosophistication, but the teachers loved it (notice I refrained from saying bollocks there).

Iøm in my proper smartass mood today, even corrected the professor at the lecture today haha.

ha nah mate its not that at all at all, its just funny how foreigners look up to english rock bands, fashion sense etc and really want to feel part of it, even to go as far as using slang words we use, do i know your slang? nah not a bit or want to be part of it either, just be yourselves, influence can be a killer aye

ooo ive hit a nerve, im in 'proper' smart ass mood today

 

[zupi_clone]

he never said that, he's just trying to reduce the communication gap.

Aurelia is the female version of your middle name innit?
I heard that on a film called Love Actually with Hugh Grant in

ah here, as if we cant tell between 'me mate' and 'my mate' get outta here and who asked you anyway?

 

[zupi_clone]

That is how language evolves though, pretty hard to pick up English phrases from other places than Britain/Ireland/America though. Not that I don't get your point.

 

[Allan]

I'm having this urge to put "though" at the end of every other sentence I write, who can I blame for picking that up?

what right to words and fashion sense and all that do the english have that the rest of the world doesn't?

oh and by the way, i suppose i can't properly use the english slang because only my dad lives in england, i moved away, and i spent a good amount of life with my mother out of the country?

i'm not sure i understand your logic. you should be happy that people are tying to come to some university of communication and understanding.

 

[Allan]

And I spent 15 minutes listening to my professor rant about how restrictive clause can't modify Proper Nouns, so you don't get the credit for proper.

 

[my dying groom]

As long as it's not done to impress someone, being influenced by other people is one of the most normal things in this otherwise fucked up world. There has to be some midpoint where you're neither living like a linguistic hermit nor desperately trying to be something you're not. No one with remnants of common sense and self respect wants to be assimilated.

Well, I have to say your point is one of the most ridiculous I've ever read or heard. so we're looking up to english rock bands huh? that's quite interesting since I in particular, can only think of 4 or 5 boss bands in the UK, and most of them are over. You attitude won't allow you to read this and shut up but you should quit flaming each and every one and be thankful that some foreign people understand and speak your language, otherwise you'd have like 10 people in this forum and no one to flame. You hit a nerve yeah. I can't stand your attitude sometimes, even if you never directed it to me.

 

[zupi_clone]

You're trying too hard to be Bambi. Oh sorry, that was just an example in general.

 

[Bambi]

now now dont be telling people off for trying too hard to be something they're not. thats not boss at all, now is it??

 

[Achernar]

the boss thing to do is to learn slang

 

[Allan]

Don't think I ever use the word attitude, I must be excluded from the wannabe rokstarclub for now.

 

[Maqus]

I did use it in the Serotonal picture thread :Spin:

 

[Bambi]

ah yeah sure i do it meself, its all good fun. while im not as virulently anti "people imitating their heros" as the bould ikea is, it does get a bit silly with some people: Homies from Hartstown, scousers from sweden etc. So seems as how ye've learned scouse over the weekend heres a nice term for ya:

PLAZZY

 

[breaklose]

yer just bitter and that like sorted aye aye.

 

[Bastet]

i can't find the word "plazzy" in the english slang dictionary.
how can i ever learn to understand you?

 

[Maqus]

For example, Mehdi a plazzy, he said it.

It means plaza kitten.
