chimichangas
chimichangas is a great word
adjective english
'intensive fun effective' is not a sentence.
but that's obviously not the point of this place which will teach you to speak in disconnected adjectives.
fantastic.
pedestrians to give way
things really are the other way up down here. road markings are read from the bottom row upwards which sometimes results in strange two way meanings if read in the other direction.
there could be a standoff
pronking
never let it be said that funkypancake don't learn you nuffing
rear guard
ideal for those facing the cane at school

strange symbols in names
now, i thought it was a modern phenomenon to use obscure characters in names, like exclamation marks and question marks, and of course the liberation of the @ sign in to every email address.

i'll even forgive his capitall letters as it's so good.
pubbish
pubbish is a good word. it was written on a piece of paper outside a publisher's office near where i work so perhaps it's a contraction of 'publishers rubbish'
but i think it better describes the feeling of wanting to nip to the pub. "i'm feeling a bit pubbish. fancy it?"

prollabably
"prollabably" (say prolla-bably). use it instead of 'probably' today
esther says "ledicious" instead of "delicious" which also works nicely.
have a go and let me know how you get on. i wonder how long until prollabably makes google. find out here
and here for no reason are three old apples on my desk:
chimley
the word is chimney, but some people say 'chimley' which sounds much nicer. perhaps we should start a campaign to get it changed ?
