Is it like the name Hugh, is it who, you or how? Or pronounced some other way?
That's a nasty cold you've got there mate.Hugh m8 hew
Atish hew hewThat's a nasty cold you've got there mate.
Just speak normal and add hew at the end each sentence hew. You'll sound ridiculous hew. But those that do it now sound ridiculous hew.
Unny to manySome of my favourite English words I only notice when back over in Sunderland. The way the locals say them just makes me smile from ear to ear.
Words like 'year' becomes 'yur'. 'Long' becomes 'lang'. 'Wrong' becomes 'wrang'. 'Yellow' becomes 'yella' and so on. My favourite Sunderland word is 'honey' when it becomes 'hunny'. It is just so wonderfully charming and endearing.
I have picked up 'sossij' though. It is easier to say than the proper word and I make myself smile, too.
