I found this great British Newspaper online called mailonline.com. It’s the Daily Mail Newspaper online site and it’s a lot of fun to read . Let’s face it, the Brittish just sound a whole lot smarter than we do. So I’ve compiled a list of how they say it compared to how we might say it (or do it).
The Brittish Headline Says:
Why Prince Charles is too dangerous to be king: why this increasingly eccentric royal could imperil the monarchy.
But if it happened here it would say something like:
Why Prince Big Ears is too Frigin’ Bad ‘ Ass to be Numero Uno; why this weirdo fastracker could screw things up royally
The British Headline says:
Kate Middleton joins Queen for Royal family pre-Christmas Lunch
But if it happened here it would be:
Kate Middleton and the Queen Drive Through Burger King
The British Headline Says:
Queen Victoria, is that you? Christina Aguilera bears a striking resemblance to our late monarch in unflattering bonnet
If it happened here we’d say:
Hey Look! There’s Christina Aguilera!
Ok, that’s it. I thought this topic was going to be rich fodder to farm but turns out not so much. But I promise to keep an eye on all the Daily Mail Headlines from now on just in case.
Until next time . . . I love you!
I love the way the ole’ Brits say things. I’d much rather add words like “quite” and “smashing” and “Have you seen my jumper?” into my daily repertoire. And don’t forget the ever popular (and overused) “Brilliant!”
