| message to the world: | *
DON'T BE OBVIOUS. keep it on the lay-low. * DO NOT USE THE SLANG OF ANOTHER CULTURE. ie americans do not say "shite" or "shag" and english do not say "y'all". the only word that should cross over is "reckon". i reckon if my great-grandmother can say reckon, so can damon albarn. |
