Happy Friday the 13th! Here's an Englishism for you to start the weekend right..."Scrummy"- A combination of "yummy" and "scrumptious" (this is Tara's unofficial definition, of course...); usually used to describe naughty foods :o)
Example: That sticky toffee pudding we had last night was scrummy!!!
Actually, as I write this, I thought of two related Englishisms that will accompany "scrummy" quite well...
"Fit" - Sure, Americans use this word, but the British use it A LOT more, and in a few ways. Fit means "in good health" or "in good shape"/svelte (don't you love that word?!).
"Poorly" - Means "under the weather" or sick in British
Here are a few examples:
1) Now that I've eaten so much sticky toffee pudding, I'm not as fit as I used to be!
2) I ate so much sticky toffee pudding last night that I'm feeling poorly today!
Cheers, friends! Happy Birthday to my dearest friend, Michelle! xo
