Ah, fair enough.

It was the GLC thing that made me think you were Welsh

I know some Welsh.

Moron = carrot
Araf = slow

And that's as much as I know.

Haha. How did you come to know the Welsh word for carrot?

You're right, I am an Englishman living in Wales but picked up the language over the years. I'm not fluent though.

I know a Welsh person and they told me a load of Welsh but that's the only one that I remembered cos it sticks out. Apparently microwaves are called 'popty pings' as well lol? And my friend bought a car that needed collecting from Wales, it said 'arafwch' on the road and he named his car Araf so I remembered that as well.

Where are you from originally? London?

Easily done as them, Feeder and Skindred are pretty much all we have in Newport.

GLC should be loved by all though, regardless of race or creed.

Popty ping? Interesting. I've never heard that before, it's not used in the north. Could be a southern term.

No, I lived in London as a teenager for a time, but am originally from Lancashire.

I think it might be only in Welsh slang, it gets pretty confusing with the dialects anyway.

Gwdihw is a personal favourite, pronounced "Goody-hoo" and it just means owl.

The north use tylluan for owl.
