Vernacular English
The twisting of English by us 'natives' is always entertaining:
1. The word – Only: You don’t move from there, only. I like it this way, only
2. The word – Myself: Hi, me Myself Rajiv or Me Myself and Anand will go there tomorrow
3. The word- Just : I will just come (even if the person lives in the other side of town); I will just cook or I will just go shopping.
4. The word – Okay: I need it to be done, okay? This is how it happened, okay? I will call you, okay? I will kill you, okay?
5. The term -Very Funny : when at loss for a suitable repartee we descend to – Very Funny
6. The use of the abbreviation – ASAP: for all generic mails even forwards.
Someone needs a mail forwarded to get few cents in AOL account- do it ASAP. Make your plans ASAP. Come to the Party ASAP
7. The term: Look here: Look here, finish your work. Look here, I didn’t do this. Look here, the boss is coming.
8. The use of the term: What na?: What na? Why are you bugging me, na?
9. The word : Awesome: Oh, the party is so awesome. Your clothes are so awesome. You are so awesome (Slobber, Slurp)
10. The word: Like: You said, like, you could do it. But I, like, told you it cannot be done.
