Watching a movie the other day, set in Newcastle. Where they talk funny, y’all.

Son: “Dad, what does ‘shite’ mean?”

(we have the subtitles on, naturally, doesn’t everyone?)

Me: (always thinking fast on my feet) “Take off the ‘e’.”

Son: !!

Yes, I imagine my wife will be real happy about this. But at least I didn’t answer him when he asked what “shag” meant…
