I am a new found Anglophile
This week I discovered that their is actually a word for my love of all things British "Anglophile" and then keeping with this weeks British theme I found this Blog Called "Cup Of Jo" and I came accrosed this post about Parenting in England So I thought I would share my amusement with my readers
English moms’ vocabulary :
bub (baby).
popped our sprogs - British English for giving birth
pushchairs and prams.-Strollers
dummies (pacifiers).
splash out (splurge)
posset (spit-up) stains
babygros (onesies).
whinging (whining)
throwing wobblies (tantrums)
having rows (arguments)
knackered-British English slang for “exhausted" and it usually comes with a certain sag of the shoulders and a little stagger in the voice. (There is a particularly English way of saying it, too. It’s pronounced nnakk-uhd: slow on the first syllable, swallowing the second.)
Now this is pulled straight from the post but I loved this so I had to repost this. I hope you enjoy.
