Re: Does your wife or GF have any creative English word use?
For difficult to pronounce words she often uses a word description instead of the word. Happens more often when she’s in a rush.
She also likes to use generic words when she’s in a rush. Badge is one of her ‘go to’ words. Can mean purse, wallet, sling, backpack, suitcase, pocket, etc.
She also likes to use the word ‘Now’ at the end of her sentences. Could mean immediately, soon, later on, or sometime today.
Her english is so soft and cute that sometimes I pretend not to understand just so she can repeat herself a few times.

With one girl:
When she wanted to say "friend," she said "my friend."
When she wanted to say "my friend," she said "my friend me."
When she wanted to say "your friend," she said "my friend you."
It was funny listening to a conversation with a lot of "my friend me" and "my friend you."
When she wanted to say "friend," she said "my friend."
When she wanted to say "my friend," she said "my friend me."
When she wanted to say "your friend," she said "my friend you."
It was funny listening to a conversation with a lot of "my friend me" and "my friend you."

At first there was confusion
SWMBO: Where my phone for you?
Me: huh?
SWMBO: my phone for you? Where?
Me:...
Later, some bravery is displayed, and after some weeks the same conversation deteriorates
Me (adopting extremely helpful attitude): your phone or my phone? Or your phone for me? Or my phone for you? Or your phone for you, or my phone for me?

Our godson has an English father and a Khmer mother. She learned English by watching American TV series, especially The Walking Dead.
On learning what country you come from, she asks how you deal with zombie outbreaks in your country - and is serious. When she asked us this, I looked at him, who was holding a straight face, and told him he's an utter bastard.
She's also good with economy of words - in the middle of a meal, "I need to piss." And on certain days, "What TF you lookin' at?"

I remember being distant after getting home from work one night. The wife noticed & hits me pretty much straight away with a "Who took the jam outta your doughnut?" (having seen Snatch a few weeks beforehand); and nailed it in a cockney accent.
Meum est propositum in taberna mori,
ut sint Guinness proxima morientis ori.
tunc cantabunt letius angelorum chori:
"Sit Deus propitius huic potatori."

I would advise her that we deal with them the same way the Japanese do and advise her to watch this:StroppyChops wrote: ↑Mon Jan 28, 2019 7:20 pm Our godson has an English father and a Khmer mother. She learned English by watching American TV series, especially The Walking Dead.
