The British rape it far worse than we do.
Seriously, you lot have far more oddball slang than we do, and do a lot of strange things to the language- I've seen vodka referred to as "voddies", sandwiches are "sarmies", Christmas is "Crimbo", and so on. What the fuck, people! You invented the language and formalized it with the OED- so why don't you speak it? Someone blagged yer copy, guv?

Odd-ball slang is one thing, but using words in the wrong place is another. Innit.

Ah. Thank you.
I thought it was with an M. I first encountered that term in Jethro Tull's "Up the Pool".
Still, it's rather confusing but somehow amusing to see the strange permutations of English that come from over there.

I reckon ...
.. that it's a "work in progress" really. the Charvers try to make it turn corners every now and then, but the majority of English speakers attempt to head them off at the pass...
