two tomatoes walk down the street, but one lags behind and is overrun by a car. The other one turns around and says: "Come on" , "Catch up".
|

An aubergine heard that, and exclaimed "Oh my God! That's a walking, and talking tomato!", and it ran away in panic.

And the Romans, Greeks, Indians, Germans, Vikings, Celts, Saxons, Picts, even the Australain Inflection has crept into the usage... just about every country has exported people here, and elements of their language have been absorbed.

Don't forget the Danes and the Irish

The Danes are descended from Vikings, and the Irish from Celts (as are the Scots and Welsh - there is still a lot of similarity in the three languages)

I think the Fresians would beg to differ and the Irish would probably claim it was the other was around but I get your point; being a mostly Irish slightly Viking Englishman born in a Roman city at the heart of the Fresian empire where ~Celtic Aelfred broke the power of the Danelaw it's easy to get mixed up.

The Romans and the Celts were here long before the English language was even thought of!

No, in English it's still called an aubergine. In American however ...

In SA English it is known as a brinjal.

So one day a kid was bored while being at the local Zoo and kept pestering his Dad to go and play.
Eventually his dad agreed, took him over to the lion enclosure, threw him in and said: There ya go, play dead...
Bottom line, don't be bored!

Err no. You seem to be under the misapprehension that we are your servants. Only my wife and kids get to treat me like I'm a slave.

I expect others to treat me like a vengeful God.
