I do agree with the last one though.

Wasn't really getting defensive, most of this list confuses me anyway, probably due to being from Oklahoma where most of those phrases aren't used or only sound like that cause we have a hard time pronouncing some things.Booze Zombie said:snips

'Haich' is very common in Australia but not in England, it seems. I was brought up on my ingrained Australianism by many British speakers, and as I am an English teacher, I changed.
