Not One-Off Britishisms is one year and one day old, so happy belated birthday to me!
The very first post (on advert) has been followed by 142 more; there have been 686 comments and 79,492 page views. Massive attention has been paid, to which I say, “Cheers!” (a word that so far on these shores is seen only as a drinks salutation and e-mail closing, not as a substitute for thank you. Give it time).
Unaccountably, new NOOBs keep turning up, so I will carry on for a while. Talking of that, my next post will be on turn up (as a substitute for show up) and the one after that on talking of (speaking of).
The
Happy Anniversary! (ex post facto [not a NOOB];))
Happy 1st birthday!! (I’ll refrain from my rendition of “For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow” as Brits like to do…)
Congrats on the 1st year! Your blog has been very good in reminding me what’s actually British versus American. After nearly 10 years in the UK, I get very confused about what’s what so good to have the reminders!
