Bostonian phrases
« on: May 04, 2004, 04:33:06 PM »
If ever you decide to visit the town of Boston (Lincolnshire,UK)you may need to know some local phrases. Here are a few.

"Urrghhh!".
This can mean many things depending on such factors as the context and tone of the voice. It is commonly a greeting and can be translated as "Greeting to you, I hope you have a fine day"

"Wot!?"
Translates roughly as "I'm sorry I didn't quite catch that, could you repeat it please"

"Wanna fight!?"
Translates to "You have offended me, I therefore challenge you to a duel, sir!"
