So, is the wife from England?
My buddy, Debs and her lovely mother, have changed my vocabulary and vernacular quite a bit over the years. I've picked up "proper," "bits," garage being pronounced "gair-edge," "sorted out," etc. I've also been educated on chips versus crisps and have learned quite a bit of cockney slang.
Her lovely mother, who is about 4' tall, is the quietest and sweetest thing I've ever met. At the same time, I'd rather fight Mike Tyson than to cross her. She grew up around the Kray's. An absolute angel who would tear someone to shreds twice her size if challenged. She just has that "have a cuppa and biscuit, but if you f up, I'll rip your heart out through your kneecaps" vibe.
