So I'll say this is nice. You can't get more English than that.
My first husband liked his whisky 'neat'. I think we are off on the UK US language things yet again.
One I saw the other day was someone referring to losing their job as being layed off, not surprising really...
Some years ago the French went nuts because of all the Americanisms people here use. They tried to invent French terms for computer language.
Some exist but people still say what they like.
Economics and business terms are very American too.
My Dad said neat whisky and layed off as well as getting the sack. What on earth the sack is I don't know.
We have a slang dictionary somewhere. It can be fun reading through it.
