yes! Lugsharee! I think that is very easily done! I think I am that oral slattern wot says it!
We have all been in such a vat of American culture for the last however many decades (hmmm deckaids? d'caids?) and as someone who spent half their childhood in the USA I commit crimes against ga- rar - ges. Is that right or is the English one gar ridge? I can never remember...

re barth, parth, and glarss I remember as a southern Jessie marrying into a Northern clan of self-righteous flat-A-ers: When they heard my son say BARTH for the first time they rolled around in their flat caps and howled and bayed at the moon in a demented storm of Northern hysteria and derision! Poor lad! He only spoke like his mum!
onlywhenigrowup Yes! Yes! we were brought up with loads of French expressions that my mother's generation of presumably snooty social climbing strumpets used maybe unconsciously to demonstrate their continental je ne sais QUOIS!
.
my friend's very clever partner (from the Wirral I think, that's well Northern posh isn't it?) thought that my saying things like 'raison d'être' and 'savoir faire', not that I necessarily peppered conversations with such Franglais and drollery but still, some French expressions are bloody fine imho! He was abominated by me and I found out later after they split that he would hoot to himself like a Snob-owl at my simple reproduction of the parlance of my family and home.
I probably did sound like a tit but still, he was ridiculous too in LOADS of ways!
But of all the crimes ever I can never forgive plarrrstic when that a should be FLAT as a pancake: "plasstick".
