 Re: Fulham Fans......
An expert comments........the term 'pardon' in this context is considered very Non U and its usage would preclude the user from posh society like that what the_mgt frequents.
Its usage indicates a personage of lower-lower middle class rank attempting to pass themselfs off as something what they are not and in the process setting thereselves up as figures of fun to the genuine article like persons like the-mgt.
'What ?' is ambiguos and is almost permissible, but 'what,what' when used to elicit endorsement is absolumente top of the range.what,what.
Hope this helps you peasants. |
