Do you talk/write in the accent of your SO?

[Fandango 1,440]

My SO talks really funny being from Newcastle Upon Tyne, England (he says I"m the one that talks funny...but oh well). This thread reminded me of something a friend sent me. It's hysterical....I understood most of it, but had to look a few phrases up on google. Enjoy y'all!

I remember the first time I saw that, I was dying with laughter.

Esp this bit:

One of the most delighful ways to spend an afternoon in Oxford or Cambridge is gliding gently down the river in one of their flat- bottomed boats, which you propel using a long pole. This is known as "cottaging." Many of the boats (called "yer-i-nals") are privately owned by the colleges, but there are some places that rent them to the public by the hour. Just tell a professor or policeman that you are interested in doing some cottaging and would like to know where the public yerinals are. The poles must be treated with vegetable oil to protect them from the water, so it's a good idea to buy a can of Crisco and have it on you when you ask directions to the yerinals. That way people will know you are an experienced cottager.
