The sky being "cerulean blue". I read it in a book recently where the narrative was from the POV of a very poorly educated but streetwise urban teenager who had had pretty much no parental support or guidance and limited access to books.

I’m reading a book by Rachel Clarke which mentions unbuttoning a pony’s saddle. Girths and saddles don’t have buttons on!

People who are cold saying ’bbrrrrrrrr’

I say/make that noise all the time when i am cold.

I read a book where the main character kept asking people “shall you” do whatever. I’ve never heard anyone use it in real life.

How very dare you!
