I’m from NE Scotland. It was always the big light. And, unless you’d lost a contact lens or needle, must NEVER be switched on. Because it’s not Blackpool illuminations in here.
Anyway what’s this ‘delulu is the solulu’ bullshit I’m seeing? It’s on t-shirts. Makes no sense. Grown men & women ffs

I actually like delulu. It just seems more of an insult that you can’t be bothered to use proper english on the blithering idiots.
Solulu is just stupid though.

I am a southern and have never heard of the big light thing. The big light was always used unless there was good film on and then the small lamp would be used for “atmosphere”.

I'm southern and we used big light when I was a child, at bedtime at a certain time we had to turn off the big light but could still read with the lamp

Were you ever allowed to close the curtains to watch a video during the day, so you could pretend you were at the cinema? We did that occasionally.

Thank you!
Had supper last night with friends and their teenage kids and the conversation got round to teen speak.
The mere fact that I knew about delulu is the solulu earned me great respect from the teens, even if I’m still not quite sure what it means.
They even taught me a couple of new words, one of which I have already forgotten.
And apparently rizz is a bit old fashioned now.
I am so trendy!!!

Must be a Doric light fitting!

I think this might be a dialect thing where I’m from but I hate it when people use a weird tense to describe a situation
‘I gets a call from my manager, so I goes into the office, I sits down, he says he wants a word about a colleague, I says OK, we gets up and we goes to the coffee shop’

I associate that with the west country! Never hear it anywhere else. I find it oddly endearing

That’s interesting! I’m from Manchester, which is the only place I’ve heard it! I don’t find it endearing though sadly!

While I’m at it - ‘blue-lighted’ to hospital annoys me!

Sounds like Nessa from Gavin and Stacey.

I hate when people referring to things being dropped instead of released
“Their album drops next week”
“her clothing line dropped yesterday”

 

[Ridandroo]

Nom nom nom.
My little man.
When people refer to themselves as mummy/daddy on social media - you are talking to grown adults.
Benidorm* doesn’t know whats about to hit it. *or any other tacky location.
Love that for me.
More of a spelling ick but ‘carn’t and ‘brought’ instead of ‘bought’
